| 74432bb | Running her fingertips across the complicated edging of the desk, she discovered that the curlicues actually formed a vine. And there were dates inscribed along the leaves. . . . The Kings and the queens. Their children. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 33d14d7 | Sometimes the changes in life came at you so fast, and with such fury, there was no way to keep up with reality. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 7fb99c9 | was enough to actually turn you into what you had to be. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 250eb66 | But that was the beauty of inner thoughts. No one had to know your weaknesses. And once you'd finished dwelling on them, you could toss them into the mental trash bin they belonged in. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 7f6e266 | she thought about what happily-ever-afters were about, and decided that true love didn't mean effortless, and ever-after wasn't about cruise control. | J.R. Ward | ||
| aa9c47f | Shit, this had to be how Alzheimer's patients felt: Their personality was intact and so was their intellect...but they were surrounded by a world that no longer made sense because they couldn't hold on to their memories and associations and extrapolations. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 91e22fe | The thing was all mortals were going to lose the ones they loved. It was the way life worked. But for the most of the time, that reality was so far off in the mind that it had no more weight than a mere hypothetical. There were reminders, however, and the almost's, the near-misses, the oh-God-please-no's, snapped your chain and got you to stop and feel what was in your heart. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 54eeb93 | Darius | J.R. Ward | ||
| 83a1df3 | Probably played a lot of World of Warcraft or whatever it was--and that made him forget that if you were going to be a bigoted big-mouth, you'd better be able to back shit up. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 0413ad1 | he wanted to be like Tohr. Heading out into the corridor, it was funny to have that running through his brain again, and its return kind of righted the world: Ever since he'd first met the guy, whether it was the Brother's size, or his intelligence, or the way he treated his female, or how he fought, or even the deep sound of his voice . . . John had wanted to be like Tohr. This was good. This was . . . right. | J.R. Ward | ||
| a1ff2aa | we are every age we have ever been at each moment in our lives. We carry it all with us like luggage. | J.R. Ward | ||
| eabe829 | When Rhage's beast came out, everyone, the brothers included, looked for shelter and took up praying. | J.R. Ward | ||
| bac0c85 | Marissa," he mumbled, taking her hand. "Don't want to see you drink so much." Wait, not really what he'd been going for. "Ah . . . don't want you to see drink so much . . . want." Whatever. God . . . he was so confused. V smiled a little, but it was the kind of falsey number doctors gave to patients who were about to throw up. "He's going to need something with sugar in it. Rhage, you got a lollipop on you?" Butch looked over as a wicked .. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 488b62d | And he was not lonely. Never had been. Vengeance was one hell of a roommate. | J.R. Ward | ||
| b975739 | That Zsadist guy . . . you had to wonder when he was going to lose it. And what he was going to take out with him when he did. | J.R. Ward | ||
| a313187 | Maybe she just needed out. Out of Caldwell. Out of the CCJ. Out of the electronic family of her alarm clock and the phone on her desk and the TV that kept her dreams away while she slept. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 3b825b6 | As much as you wanted someone to change and believed they could, they were in control of their life. Not you. And you could throw yourself against the wall of their choices until you were black-and-blue and dizzy as hell, but unless they decided to take a different road, the outcome wasn't going to be what you wanted. | J.R. Ward | ||
| e406dd1 | Qhuinn rushed to get more words out. "I'm sorry I've wasted so much time--and if you don't want to be with me, I get it. I'll back off--I'll live with the consequences. But for the love of God, if there's a chance--for whatever reason on your side--revenge, curiosity...hell, even if you'll let me fuck you just once and never, ever again, for the sole reason of driving a stake through my heart? I'll take it. I'll take you...any way I can get.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 24e2bb8 | Axwelle. Figured you might as well start the eval with the one most likely to be considered a sociopath. | J.R. Ward | ||
| f6430ec | She already has." Assail smiled cruelly in the dark. "Tell me, is your Dom reputation just talk or are you truly that perverted?" "Waste my time with gossip and I'll answer that firsthand." "Kinky." "Why do you ask?" "Your name came up in conversation." "How." The fact that that wasn't a question, but a demand was not a surprise. "She was speaking of sexual conquests she had enjoyed. You apparently were one of them, back when she was younge.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 8547f66 | But if you had to have something to live for, it might as well be love, right? | something-to-live-for | J.R. Ward | |
| 56bc2e5 | Murhder lowered his head . . . and kissed her. Oh . . . wow. His lips were velvet on her own, all summer-breeze soft and slow as an August sunrise as they caressed hers. And she would have called the contact sweet, except no. His enormous body . . . his mysterious, other-than-human, incredibly powerful body . . . trembled, and that was what made everything utterly erotic: The subtle shaking meant he was holding himself in strict control, cl.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| f1688ee | With a rough shove, he pushed his palm down the front of his combats and the instant contact was made, an orgasm exploded out of him, memories of Novo from class, sparring, out in the field, flashing through his mind, keeping things going. He even went back to when he'd been inside her, her bare sex accepting his penetrations like she had been made for him and him alone. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 1dad1fd | Ivie froze at the sound of the deep, low voice. Later, much later, she would remember most clearly not the moment she looked into his eyes, but rather the split second before she did. And that was because, when you were falling from a great distance, spinning and turning in mid-air, uncertain of your chances of surviving the landing, the thing that was even more vivid than when you hit was the last moment before consequence owned you. | J.R. Ward | ||
| ce10e10 | The goatee was a neutral--unless you assessed it on style. In which case the fucker was a travesty of Rogaine proportions. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 65232a1 | And I will always be your warrior, Mary mine. Always and forever." Mary" | J.R. Ward | ||
| a938954 | Here's what I know to be true. We can bury the past all we like. We can use a hundred thousand distractions, some of which are healthy, some of which are not, to keep it under the ground--but when something isn't processed, it will absolutely, positively come back and bite us on the ass. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 0c7de63 | thought the hard part about being a dad was going to be the arguments--like her bringing some knuckle-dragging mouth breather home and expecting me not to slice off his smooth criminals and plant them in the yard. But | J.R. Ward | ||
| ed476b8 | Okay, well...how's that water feeling, then?' 'Excuse me?' 'The Nile warm this time of the year? | J.R. Ward | ||
| dc97a8d | Fritz." The butler rushed over from the crudite arrangement he was working on. "Yes, master! I am eager to be of aid." "Take this." iAm peeled the cat off himself, prying both of its front claws out of his fleece. "And do whatever it is you do with it." As he turned away, he felt like glancing back and making sure G*dd*mn was okay. But why the fuck would he do that? He had to get to Sal's and check on his staff. Usually he hit the rest.. | fritz iam master-boo special-attention | J.R. Ward | |
| 03a3b68 | There's no goodbye for you and me," she announced. "So you can just cut that shit out right now. I am very aware of what you're doing, checking in with the people in this household, going around, seeing them one by one or in groups. And that's fine. But you're not going to do it to me because I refuse to believe you're going to die from that thing." When he lifted his hands to start signing, she slapped them down and shoved her forefinger i.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 687d97a | It was a farewell. Not a good-bye, but a fare...well. and he had the sense they would. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 2d8bd7c | I love you, Lassiter," she said without looking away from her daughter. "I know." Mary glanced back at him. "Did you just quote Harrison Ford to me." "Yes, Leia. And it's also true. Go on, Mother, she's safe." | J.R. Ward | ||
| 8446f88 | You are so beautiful," he said as he stared at her, "standing there in the light like that." She glanced at her Gap black pants and her two-year-old knit turtleneck. "You must be blind." "Why?" he asked, coming over to her. "Well, I feel like such an ass for saying this." She smoothed the front of her off-the-rack-and-then-some slacks. "But I wish I had better clothes. Then I'd be beautiful." Rehvenge paused. And then shocked the crap .. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 5006500 | Rehvenge bowed his head. "I'm just glad you'll have me." The words were so quiet and humble, at odds with the incredible breadth of his shoulders. "How could I not?" He shook his head back and forth slowly. "Ehlena..." Her name was spoken roughly, as if there were a lot more words behind it, words he couldn't bear to speak. She didn't understand, but she knew what she wanted to do. Ehlena took her foot from him, got down on her own kn.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 09bc86c | No lie. I might fuck with your bathroom. But never, ever about this." Rhage's" | J.R. Ward | ||
| b1c3c3b | Entering yet another code, she took the passageway to Rehv's office, and when she came through his door, the three males around the desk all looked at her warily. She took up res against the black wall across from them. "What." Rehv leaned back in his chair, crossing his fur-clad arms over his chest. "Are you getting ready to go into your needing." As he spoke, Trez and iAm both made the Shadow hand motion for warding off disaster. "God.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| daaad2b | Isn't it wonderful not to have to be perfect to be loved? | J.R. Ward | ||
| ab9c50f | Blay leaned in, his upper lip peeling back from his fangs. "Just so we're clear, your cousin is giving me what I need. All day long. Every day. You and me?" He motioned back and forth between them with the cigarette. "We work together. That's it. So I want you to do us both a favor before you think I 'need' to know something. Ask yourself, 'If I were flipping burgers at McDonald's, would I be telling the fucking fry guy this?' If the answer.. | J.R. Ward | ||
| eed875e | Phury laid a hard one on the male's mouth, the kiss a punch between faces, not anything even remotely sexual. And he did it only to wipe the expression off the bastard's face. It worked. The Reverend stiffened and growled, and Phury knew he'd called the guy's bluff. But just to make sure the lesson was learned, he clipped the male's lower lip with a fang. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 0fd14d0 | You know what kind of man Assail is. You know his business." "And." As those old eyes glared right back at her, she wanted to curse some more. But she knew better. And she should have known "criminals" and "against-the-law" were relative terms to her vovo. The woman had a long history with people who were less than on the up-and-up. Make that loved ones who were not all that law-abiding. Fine, time to bring out the big guns, Sola thought. ".. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 3378ba1 | Ruhn had bared his fangs--which had descended all the way, their points like those of knives--and his already big body seemed to have swelled with aggression, becoming something huge and very deadly. As Saxton noted the transformation, his brain bifurcated, half of it remaining engaged with Minnie and the story...and the other part? All he could think of was what it would be like to have sex with that. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 327c411 | Staring at her in his arms, he knew that he would lay his life down for hers without regret. He would slay dragons and move mountains for her. He would conquer whole worlds at her command and starve to skin and bones just to ensure she had food. She was not his sun or moon, but his galaxy. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 527d738 | Was going to pitch it to VH1. Two Bites Are Better Than One. We were going to make millions. | J.R. Ward |
