| 452b738 | Jim walked into the kitchen. He was wearing a white towel around his hips and nothing else. His skin glistened with dampness--he had obviously just taken a shower. I stared at him in horror. He nodded to my aunt, my mother, and the two other women. "Ladies." Then he walked to my silverware drawer, got a fork, took a plate out of my cabinet, walked to the breadbox, speared the steak with his fork, put it on the plate, turned around and walke.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 28c3f72 | He opens his mouth and I want to kill him. I've actually had fantasies of ripping of his head Savannah." The older witch looked at her a long moment. "What?" "Don't do it in front of his Dogs." "Hopefully, I won't do it at all. If things get too bad, I'll divorce him." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 172651c | I refuse to be defined by which functions my body can or cannot perform well. Quite frankly, I'm more than the sum of my physical parts. I've come to terms with my new life and achieved personal happiness. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9146c99 | I'm with you because you're smart and beautiful, and you are not like anyone I know. No matter how hard things are, you throw yourself into them. During Midnight Games you walked into a cage with trained killers not knowing if your curses would work, because you knew other people were counting on you. That's what you do. You step up. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| a4d6ff0 | We lunged for each other at the same time and collided, crazy with need and starving for a taste. Warnings and alarms wailed in my mind, but I shut them down. Screw it. I wanted him. He found my mouth. The thrust of his tongue against mine made my head spin. He tasted like heaven. I kissed him back, nipping, licking, melting against him. It felt so good . . . His lips traced a fiery line from my mouth to the corner of my jaw and down my nec.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d3174d8 | don't believe you." "Wait." She held up her hand. "Let me check if I care." Hugh glared at her. "No," she said. "Apparently, I don't. It's good that we got that straightened out." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 37883fe | No." "You always say that word," he said. "Is it supposed to mean something?" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 993839c | William glanced at her. "Does your sister ground you often?" "No. She mostly does this." Georgie rolled his eyes in perfect imitation of her and muttered, "Why me?" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| df2d6e3 | Did you set a blood ward around us, so you could scream at me uninterrupted?" "YES!" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 809a086 | His T-shirt followed. Yep. Just like I thought. "Before you start dancing, we don't have any cash!" I called. "Woo!" Desandra waved her arms. "Take it off!" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 989cfa7 | We looked at the fire. "This is one hell of a date," I said. "Trapped by a horde of vampires in the middle of a snow-covered field, huddling around a tiny fire on thin blankets," Curran said. "Drink it in, baby. All this luxury just for you." "At least it's not raining." We both looked up just in case a freak downpour decided to drench us, but the night sky was clear. Nothing but stars and desperation." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 0c5925a | problem with honesty was that it gave your opponent ammunition to use against you. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| a05ab03 | When I was little, my grandmother gave me this advice. She said, 'Audrey, if you meet a man who is smooth, who says all the right things and knows all the tricks to make a woman happy, you've got to ask yourself how he got that way. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4e3307c | If I have to murder Hugh, I don't want to do it naked," he said. "It would be weird." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 5fa3d2c | He raised his hand. "Hear me out. Before this injury, I had never been seriously ill. I'm a physician who understood what it's like to be sick but had never personally felt the impact of a life-threatening disease or experienced a significant injury." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7a6e838 | No challenge, no matter how insignificant, can be left unanswered. Even a cry in the wilderness must be acknowledged, because someone might have heard it. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 6f1da3c | I survived. Had I hit my head on the wall when Rutger had thrown me, I could've died today. Right now I could be dead instead of sitting here in my office, twenty feet from my home. My mom could be in the morgue, identifying me on a slab. My heart pounded in my chest. Nausea crept up, squeezing my throat. I leaned forward and concentrated on breathing. Deep, calm breaths. I just had to let myself work through it. In and out. In and out. Slo.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 838b619 | Can you turn so you're not pressed against me?" "I could," he said, his voice amused. "But then you would have to lie on top of me." My brain said, "NO." My body went, "Wheee!" I" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 45b7ae3 | IWALKED INTO my house to see the knight and the wizard sitting in my kitchen, drinking coffee. If you added in Julie's thieving skills and my sword, we almost had an adventuring party. "It's too bad we're missing a cleric," I said." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 97c8823 | I am a polite, nonthreatening kind of dragon with excellent manners. Horns are hidden, tail is tucked away, fangs covered. I would never do anything cruel, like stab a man with a knife about ten times to get him to answer a question. Somehow | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9de28fa | People lie for many reasons: to save themselves, to get out of trouble, to avoid hurting someone's feelings. Manipulators lie to get what they want. Narcissists lie to make themselves seem grand to others and themselves. Recovering alcoholics lie to safeguard their tattered reputations. And those who love us most lie to us most of all, because life is a bumpy ride and they want to smooth it out as much as possible. John | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 46c6186 | You have to let your people take pride in a job well accomplished and recognize them for it. You will get better results. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e3af77b | Yes, I'm sure, Augustine," Mad Rogan said into the phone. "He didn't caress my cheek softly with his calloused fingers, but I saw a male hand." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f3c1da5 | Cat got your tongue, Nevada? | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c66fcef | Most people will do just about anything you tell them to do, if you act with authority, give them no choice, and accept the responsibility for their actions. It's kind of scary, isn't it? | responsibility | Ilona Andrews | |
| ff2d8e8 | Have you ever noticed, Oscar, that when people say, 'You're a smart woman', what they really mean to say is 'But I am smarter'? | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 302272a | We are family. You will always have a place in my house. I won't abandon you... You have people, Julie. You are not alone. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 79e0950 | If I didn't know him and I was driving by, I would've stopped to get a second look, trying to figure out who that scary hot bastard was. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 3961e4c | Don't change shape," Raphael snapped. "Shut up." "Be good or I'll kiss you in front of everybody." "Hell no," I snarled. I had to hold on and live through this so I could punch him in the face. It was a great goal." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e5887a4 | Around me, the morning traffic neighed, brayed, and defecated on the street. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 817cd7f | a tyrant, and a conqueror. He was never elected to the office. He would probably laugh at the idea. And if he did somehow decide to hold elections, he would magic the masses into electing him, because he would honestly believe that he was best qualified to rule wisely. Having | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9dd38f2 | Does Strawberry Shortcake know you stole her horse? She will be berry, berry angry with you." I" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c194d78 | Why, are you worried he'll find out about this romantic rendezvous?" The vampire froze for a second. "What?" "You're meeting me in secret on a lonely street in the middle of the night . . ." Ghastek's voice was so sharp, if it were a knife, I would've been sliced to ribbons. "I find your attempts at humor greatly distressing." Hee-hee. "I assure you, this is strictly business." "Sure it is, sweet cheeks." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 5b741a9 | You should do the dramatic door-opening thing," I told Curran. "Would you like to see me do the dramatic door-opening thing?" "Yes, I would. Very much." A quick smile bent his lips. We" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7401a58 | Kate?" "Yes?" I managed. "It's me, Julie. Are you dying?" I could tell she desperately wanted a different answer. "I love you." The expression on her face twisted something inside me. I looked from her to Curran. "I love you so much. Both . . ." "You can't die." She grabbed my hand. Tears swelled in her eyes. "You're all I have. Kate, please. Please don't die." My" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| ad46559 | You know what? No: if he ever fell in love, it wouldn't be great romantic devotion. It would be an exercise in frustration and lust, and at the end of it his significant other would strangle him. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| dbb7be5 | Does ice float? | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c4aa4a5 | I sniffed. "What?" "The fragrance of a genuine compliment from Mad Rogan. So rare and sweet." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 2ccf846 | Lightning shot out of my fingers and sank into the armored skin. Madero screamed. Welcome to the shockers, bitch. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 13f8e95 | It was one thing to be attracted to bad boys, something I usually didn't suffer from. It was another to be attracted to bad men. Mad Rogan was a really bad, bad man. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 2915837 | Phone calls, TV broadcasts, and Skype sessions don't, so there has to be some physical proximity. It works better if I can see you and hear you at the same time. Direct eye contact works best." He" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f47458b | He felt like an addict who, after abusing a narcotic for years, somehow found himself sober, | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 0951ab9 | Sure, let me get my shoes. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 54a4e53 | By the way," Arabella said, "you might get a call from school. I forgot to mention it before." Mother paused. "Why?" "Well, we were playing basketball and I guess I pulled on Diego's jersey. I don't even remember doing it. And Valerie decided it would be a good idea to snitch on me. I mean, I saw her walk over to the coach and pull on his sleeve like she was five or something. I even asked Diego if he cared, and he said he didn't even notic.. | Ilona Andrews |
