“I do care about real life. It s just not as interesting as what s in my books.”
“And if you don’t think I can hold my own against all those eighteenth-century mortals you were out tagging, then you’re a fool, Casanova.” ... “Oh, yes, I know all about you.” He went still. “What are you talking about?” “I was alive back then. And all the Lore heard about the ruthless warlord brothers from Estonia. The general, the scholar, the enigma, and . . . the manwhore.”
“God, you’re sexy when you talk Psy.”
“You re still... Declan? -- --Voice hoarse, he said, Aye, it s me. I will never be your perfect Viking, Regin! I ve made unforgivable mistakes. I ve no family or friends, and my men hold no love for me. I m scarred inside and out. And I m bloody askin for you anyway!”
“It s a lot easier to understand things once you name them. It s the unknown that mostly freaks me out. I don t know the name of that fear, but I know I ve got it, the fear of the unknown.”
“Did you meet your soul mate? That always happens on the first day of school, right? Oh God, Charlie, she s letting you read again! You went straight to the paranormal section, didn t you?”
“And then it hits me like a fast, open-palmed, stinging smack in the face. Having a ghost boyfriend WAS weird”
“Catch me, Seth, she invited. He paused. Faeries chase, he said, an then , with a flirtatious smile, he turned away, but before he could take a second step, she was behind him, arms around him, lips pressed against his neck. I seem caught, he murmured. The Summer Queen whispered, Me too. And They fell together in a bed of flowers that now covered the floor”
“You think I am very cute, you think me sexy, as well. I can read your thoughts, remember.” I hoisted myself up and slid across his body. You are conceited, arrogant, and domineering, everything I dislike in a man. And you are independent, stubborn, and heedless, everything I dislike in a women. I slid my hands under his back and kissed his dampened lips. So why is it that I love you so much? He smiled a smug, masculine little smile and captured my legs with his. Because I love you, and to be loved by a Dark One is enough for any woman. I pinched him in a particularly vulnerable spot and allowed him to kiss me with all the sexy arrogance he had.”
“You do not mind my humor?” “Not at all. I’ve not laughed like this …” His brows drew together. “I think I’ve never laughed like this.” “Usually I exasperate people. And I jest at inappropriate times. Such as during executions. Freya says ’tis my gift and my bane to frustrate others.” “I like your manner, Reginleit. Life is long without humor.”
“Too late Bella. Now, it s too late. Show me.”
“Honest to god, Clare, you act like the dress is more important than you being shot!” Of course it is! It’s a Versace, you idiot! Bring help! I’m going to save this dress at all costs.” - Sam to Clare”
“Barrons: He got upset it wouldn t shut up and tore its head off. Mac: The child? I gasped”
“You bet your Grannie s Panties I will.”
“I told you that I would protect you. Even if you don t want me to, he whispered, moving closer and pulling me against him. Some things are worth protecting”
“I should warn you, I’m an expert on vampires. I’ve seen every episode made of Buffy, Angel, and Forever Knight, so don’t think a little fang-flashing is going to scare me.” – Nell to Adrian Oh, my God! You bit me on the leg! You drank my blood! I am not an appetizer!” You are much more then an appetizer. You are a twelve-course banquet. – Nell & Adrian I slid my tongue around the glossy enamel of his teeth, pausing to stroke down the length of an elongated canine tooth. Yeah. I know. How stupid is it to French kiss a vampire and not expect sharp teeth? – Nell”
“You see, that s the thing with you detrus, Chase began in a contemplative tone. Your bodies are abominations. If I severed your arms-- Lothaire yawned loudly. --you d merely regenerate from the injury. You might experience pain, but you wouldn t suffer the horror of permanent loss, not like a human. Lothaire grew increasingly bored by this. When I get free, I believe I ll show you your spine. I ll hand it to you so casually, politely even, as if expecting you to remark upon it.”
