“If I were to taste your mouth now, I couldn't answer for the consequences. So I can only adore this beautiful neck. I know that in a few seconds I will have to pull away, before the temptation becomes too much. It's too much already. You have no idea how much I want you.”

“I love you far too much, I'm sure. But I don't know how to love you any other way.”

“If it were your soul I was after, all the dark Cherubim in Hell couldn't keep me from you... I would have done whatever it took to save you... Even if that meant I had to spend eternity in Hell.”

And I will never see anything this side of heaven more beautiful tham you”

"Why would you do that? He wants to kill you."The Professor pulled himself up to his full height. "I want to marry you. That means that I need to make amends with your father. I want to be able to be in the same room without him attempting to shoot me. Or castrate me.”
