When I returned, instead of beating swift retreat she suggested we should have fun together. I dunked her a couple of times. Unfortunately, I was pointing a gun at hotel security at the time, and the sheriff's deputies showed up. Raphael ate it up. I was finally acting like a mated shapeshifter : irrationnal, possessive and head over heels in love.

He's my fiance," I told her. "We are living in sin." Heather blinked, momentarily knocked off her stride, but recovered. "Oh, that's nice." "It's very nice. I highly recommend it."

She grinned at me. "Aha, took you a second. Don't worry, I only poison random strangers on Tuesdays." "Today is Tuesday," Leon said. "Oops. Well, that's okay. You told me your name, so we're not strangers. You should be safe." She turned to Leon. "But I don't know who you are. No promises."

Life is so precious because it's short. Even the most resilient people are fragile. Life isn't about dying or not dying. It's about living well. Living so you can be proud and happy.

The Khanum?" Arland coughed. The last sip of tea must've gone wrong. "Are you unwell?" Dagorkun inquired. "Healthy as a krahr," Arland said. "That's such a relief. I would hate for some illness to interfere and spoil the grand celebration I planned when I send you to your afterlife." --

Dali elbowed Jim in the ribs. "What he meant to say was he is sorry that duties of his office and his own paranoid nature caused him to overreact." Jim looked like someone had hit him on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper. "Yes." "And"

Why me?" he said finally. "Are you on some sort of mission to fuck up my life?" "I try my best to avoid you." "You're doing a hell of a job." "I honestly don't mean to cause problems." "You don't cause problems. An unpiloted vampire causes problems. You cause catastrophes."

Some of you know me. Some of you have seen me fight and some of you are my friends. Have your vote. But know this: if you come to remove me, come in force, because if you try to separate me from him, I will kill every single one of you. My hand won't shake. My aim won't falter. My face will be the last thing you'll see before you die.

I don't snore." He nodded with a wide grin. "It's a quiet peaceful kind of snoring. Like a small cuddly Tasmanian devil. Kind of cute when sleeping, all claws and teeth when awake." "You snore worse. At least I don't turn into a lion in my sleep."

Your definition of 'well' is troubling at best." He suddenly smiled and affected a slight accent. "'I do not think that word means what you think it means.'" He was obviously quoting something he and Jason seemed to know that she did not. Jason grinned. "Ha, she ain't a princess, and you wish you were that good a swordsman."

Curran, please don't bite his head off." "Why?" "Because it's illegal. Technically you assaulted him first when you threw him across the lawn." "I didn't throw him very far." I rolled my eyes. "I could've thrown him straight up and let him land on the pavement." "That would also be illegal." "You keep bringing this 'illegal' thing up as if it means something to me."

I missed you," he said, his lips stretching into a slow, lazy smile. The ice in his eyes began to melt. "Did you miss me, Nevada?" He said my name. "No." "Not even a little bit?" "No. Never thought of you." Just because I usually chose not to lie didn't mean I couldn't. Rogan grinned and all of my thoughts went to the wrong places. He was almost unbearably handsome when he smiled."

Creo que otorgas demasiado credito a nuestra relacion. -Hice cuanto pude para cambiar de tema-. Yo lo irrito hasta sacar lo peor de el y Curran ha encontrado el modo de darme la lata. Eso es todo. -Quizas tengas razon. -De todos modos, Su Majestad necesita una chica- puedo. Y yo no lo soy. -?Una chica-puedo? -Andrea enarco las cejas y yo me incline sobre el respaldo. -?Puedo traerle la comida, Su Majestad? ?Puedo decirle lo fuerte y valient..

Marriage was a trap. The moment the man said the word "I do" at the altar, he surrendered his freedom. He was no longer free to pursue other women. Staying out past the appointed hour required his wife's permission. Getting drunk with his friends resulted in a fight when he got home. He'd have to report where he went, when he would be back, who he would be with, and why he would choose to do something else rather than stay home and pick out..

I've come to believe that the word 'disabled' is a misnomer. 'Disabled' implies that you are broken beyond use. No longer functional. I'm quite abled.

Those books made it crystal clear that giving honey to your baby before he was a year old made you a terrible mother. The moment a spoon of honey would touch his lips, the words "Awful Mother" would appear on your forehead, forever branding you as a parenting failure."

To answer your question, yes, you may kiss my ass. Normally I prefer to maintain my personal space, but you're a Friend of the Pack and your services have proven useful once or twice. I strive to accommodate the wishes of persons friendly to my people. My only question is, would your kissing my ass be obeisance, grooming, or foreplay?

What is this?" he whispered. "Mangoes." My father always said mangoes with a Quillonian were a sure bet. I hadn't realized how much of a sure bet. Orro licked the fruit again, looked at it, and suddenly bit into it, shredding the yellow pulp. He'd wolfed down half a mango before he realized I was still there and froze, pieces of mango on his whiskers. "Don't see me."

The skull sat on top of an old Stop sign. Someone had painted the surface of the octagon white and written KEEP OUT across it in large jagged letters. A reddish-brown splatter stained the bottom edge, looking suspiciously like dried blood. I leaned closer. Yep, blood. Some hair, too. Human hair. Curran frowned at the sign. "Do you think he's trying to tell us something?" "I don't know. He's being so subtle about it."
