― Andrea Speed , Life After Death (Infected #3)

3 " I'm not going to lie to you and say it gets easier, because it doesn't. It's just that you get used to it. The human animal has an amazing capacity to get used to almost anything. "

― Andrea Speed , Bloodlines (Infected, #2)

7 " Roan rested his forehead against his and put a hand on his chest. Sweet man, one he didn’t
deserve. “I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“The insanity that is my life. Me.”
“Hey, I signed up for this ride. I knew from past experience that sexy men were always trouble,
and it wasn’t like your reputation didn’t precede you. I have no one to blame but myself.”
“You think I’m sexy?”
“Don’t fish for compliments. "

― Andrea Speed , Lesser Evils (Infected #6)

8 " ...let me say, on behalf of the entire gay male community, we hate your fucking guts ’cause you landed him. Share, you selfish bastard. "

― Andrea Speed , Prey (Infected, #1)

10 " Paris rubbed his forehead against his, running his hands through Roan‘s hair, and said, 'How about we come back here
and exchange notes once we‘re done with the interviews? Take a long lunch.'

'Only exchange notes?'

'No one said we can‘t exchange notes in bed. "

― Andrea Speed , Bloodlines (Infected, #2)

11 " Roan looked down at the pathetic little fur ball with a pink ribbon clipped to the top of its head and growled at it. It came from deep in his throat, and while it was unintentional, it wasn’t precisely a human noise. He could feel it in his throat, vibrating his vocal chords, and the dog’s ears rotated briefly in as much alarm as a dog could express, and then it whimpered and cringed, pissing on the sidewalk in submission.
The woman took a couple steps backward, eyes wide and horrified, and dragged her dog past them as she hurried off, the Pom more than happy to leave.
Paris looked at him, an eyebrow raised and the corner of his mouth quirked up in a half smile. “I love it when you get defensive.”
“I’m the king of the jungle.I’m not taking any shit from a living dust mop. "

― Andrea Speed , Prey (Infected, #1)

12 " He needed to wear that bell around his neck and randomly intone, “Unclean,” to warn people. "

― Andrea Speed , Freefall (Infected #4)

13 " Roan tried not to stare, but the guard’s head was almost perfectly egg shaped. He wanted to ask him if he’d ever had a hen sit on him by mistake. "

― Andrea Speed , Shift (Infected #5)

14 " It’s an expensive place. The cheapest salad is twenty-five dollars.”

“I hope that comes with extra croutons and a hand job. "

― Andrea Speed , Lesser Evils (Infected #6)

15 " Yeah, that would be awesome. Me loaded and trying very hard not to make a scene, while the
guy who had one gay slip with me and his wife are not five feet away, also trying not to be awkward.
That’ll be so much fun. I just might hang myself with a rope made of braided napkins.”
“Aww. Nice touch with the braid. Very gay,” Dylan told him, patting him on the back.
Roan looked at him with a frown. “No one likes a sarcastic bastard, Dyl.”
“Well, I do.” He paused briefly. “Obviously.”
Ouch. "

― Andrea Speed , Epitaph (Infected #8)

16 " You can't be a trailblazer without causing some chaos. "

― Andrea Speed , Life After Death (Infected #3)

17 " MRI machines sucked. They really, honestly sucked. You lay motionless inside a cramped metal tube that made you feel like a torpedo waiting for launch, and weird noises went off around you as you fought off claustrophobia you’d never had before for an hour that seemed to last approximately one thousand years. "

― Andrea Speed , Freefall (Infected #4)

18 " A spa?"
"Yeah, Avalon Spa, you know the place near the mall?"
"Oh, right. What do you do there?"
Again, the nervous glance at the floor, and the small flush of color rising up his neck. "I'm a masseur. Which I know sounds phony as hell, but I'm licensed and everything. Also, my clients are women- the only men at Avalon are the ones on staff. And while I've got nothing against women at all- I'd have no friends in high school if it weren't for women- I find them as sexually attractive as roadkill possum."
Roan had to swallow back a laugh. "Don't tell them that."
"Oh, God no! I'd never get any tips then. "

― Andrea Speed , Bloodlines (Infected, #2)

19 " There’s bigots in every race, creed, and orientation. Idiocy is universal. "

― Andrea Speed , Shift (Infected #5)

20 " That was the problem with caring. It left you vulnerable, open on one side to the most hideous pain imaginable, and the only antidote was to stop giving a shit, but how did you do that? How did you turn it all off? "
