“I love you, baby. And I want you to stay with me. Always. (Devyn)Believe me, there’s no place else I’d rather be. (Alix)Me, either, but I would rather we be naked. (Devyn)”

“I love you, Devyn Wade Kell, with everything inside me. But it’s okay if you don’t feel the same. I know I’m just a piece of trash in your world, and I don’t expect you to share my feelings. (Alix)Don’t you ever say that to me again. Trash is something people throw away, Alix. I intend to keep you for the rest of my life. (Devyn)”

“I love you, man. You rule! Thanks for the food. It touches me deep in my tender place. (Sway)I don’t want to know nothing about your tender place, you freak. (Devyn)”

“You always obey him? (Medea)If I didn’t want to live, I’d stop taking human souls and expire. It would be a lot less painful than crossing Stryker. (Devyn)”

“She’s a slave. (Paden)You better be glad I’m cuffed or you’d be looking for your teeth right now. Alix Gerran isn’t a slave. She’s a lady, and I would die for her. (Devyn)”

“No one can make you feel low unless you allow them to. You’re not stupid, Alix. And you’re very beautiful. I just thought you should know that. (Devyn)”
