1 " You’re my light. Your smile, your voice, just watching you sleep. You give me more than a reason to keep fighting, you give me a reason to keep breathing.” “Adam. "

2 " No.” He felt her shudder against him but she didn’t make a sound as she grieved. “You are not alone, Harper Adams of Earth. "

4 " So, I may not be an expert on fathers, but I know that anyone who makes you feel less than worthy, especially someone who I believe is supposed to love and protect you, is not worth your effort. "

5 " So, the lure of Earth was too strong for you to resist?” “No. It wasn’t the main reason I came.” She turned. “Oh? And what was that reason?” The time for games was over. “You. I came because of you.” Nera went very, very still. Then she leaned against the wall. “That’s a foolish reason.” “I don’t think so.” He took a step closer to her. “I decided it was time to explore what’s between us. "

6 " I read once that grief is like a box with a ball inside it,” he said. “Inside the box is a button, and when the ball hits the button, you feel the pain of your loved one’s loss.” She nodded. “At first, the ball is huge and hits the button all the time.” His hands flexed on the wheel. “But over time, the ball shrinks. It doesn’t hit the button as often.” He stopped at some lights and looked at her. “But every now and then, it still manages to hit that button, and it still hurts. "

7 " Then there was just their harsh panting. “I’ll never look at this table the same way again,” she murmured. He made a sound that might have been a chuckle. He caught her chin. “Next time, stay in the car.” She grinned. “Hot Stuff, I might need to explain consequences and rewards to you. If this is what I get when I get out of the car…” He tweaked her nipple, "

8 " Magnus stiffened, his body like steel. “You don’t look at her.” The chill in his voice made Halla’s smile dissolve. “You don’t talk to her.” Magnus shoved Ever toward Jax, and loomed over the merchant. “You certainly don’t threaten her. "

9 " The man in the lead had a silver arm and implant around his neon-blue eye. Magnus Rone. Beside him stood a grim-faced, silver-furred Tano, holding a weapon in each of his four hands—House of Zeringei. Next to him was a man wearing a leather harness and a green cloak—House of Loden. Another gladiator flanked Magnus wearing blue, fish-scale armor—House of Man’u. On the other side of him, stood a massive fighter dressed all in black with a skull logo on his shoulder and a face that looked hewn from rock—House of Mortas. Behind them spread out a line of fierce looking fighters of different species. All of them held weapons—swords, staffs, axes. The imperators of Kor Magna had arrived. "

10 " The Imperator of the House of Aviar stood nearby. The big man shook his head. “What is it about these Earth women? "
11 " At the end of the aisle stood the celebrant, dressed as Elvis. Seth shook his head. January had insisted that if they were getting married in Vegas, they had to be married by an Elvis impersonator. Seth didn’t care. He’d marry her naked in a shark tank if she wanted. "

12 " She would be a warrior queen, who would stand by his side, no matter what. "
13 " A mother makes sacrifices for her child. It doesn’t matter if that child is perfect or a perfect mess. I love her so much. No matter what she’s done, I love her just as she is. "

14 " Young man.” They all swiveled to face the old lady propped up in the bed nearby. “Your young woman has been through a lot, and it appears she loves you very much.” The woman smiled. “Humor an old lady and kiss her again.” Axel barked out a laugh. “Yes, ma’am,” Lachlan said. “And please don’t do your shirt up yet, either.” The old lady winked. "
15 " Axel,” she breathed. “Why do you make me feel so safe?” “Because I’d risk anything to keep you safe.” A sad smile flitted over her lush lips. “Except your heart.” His fingers flexed on her skin. “My heart withered and died a long time ago.” Her hand cupped his cheek. “I don’t believe that.” “If I had a heart, it would be yours. "

16 " We’ll put him in a holding room,” Vander said. “Ask him a few questions.” Rhys lifted his chin. He wanted to go in and question the man himself, but he needed to take care of Haven. She cleared her throat. “Ah, is ask a few questions a euphemism for rough him up a bit?” The corner of Vander’s mouth twitched. “No.” The breath rushed out of her. “Oh, good.” “It’s a euphemism for, if he doesn’t answer my questions, I’ll beat the shit out of him,” Vander said. “Catch you guys later.

17 " We’ve all lost, Noah. But now, it’s about how we pick ourselves up and move forward. Wallowing in the past doesn’t help. The past will always be remembered, and the people we loved will always be special. "
― Anna Hackett , Noah (Hell Squad, #6)
18 " Babe? You okay?” He dropped a kiss to her shoulder. “Yes.” “Have I rendered you speechless with my skills and prowess?” She snorted. “Don’t get cocky.” “I already did.” He nudged her butt with said cock. “Twice. "
19 " She tilted her head, considering him. “So, you aren’t just a big, unintelligent beefcake.” “Beefcake?” “Stud muffin. Muscleman. Hot stuff.” Caze growled. He didn’t understand the Terran words, but he knew she was insulting him. “My name is Caze Vann-Jad.” She tilted her head. “I kinda like stud muffin. "
