21 " You know what your problem is, Justina? You're in desperate need of a good shag."I downed a gulp of gin to cover the laugh that forced its way out. God, if I'd thought that once, I'd thought it a thousand times!She let out an outraged huff. Bones ignored it."Not that I'm offering you one myself, mind. My days as a whore ended back in the seventeen hundreds. "

22 " I thought you'd gotten over your whoring when you left him, Catherine, but it seems you only postponed it."Bones' face turned to stone, and he answered her even before I could snap out an indignant response."Don't you ever speak to her that way again." There was pure warning in the whip of his words. "You can call me any name you like and more, but I will not stand by while you slander her out of your own ignorance. "
23 " Have you met my boyfriend?”There. That was a doozy. His eyes narrowed, and his lips thinned into a tight line. Yep, Noah was a mood kill for both of us. "
24 " You'll drain me dry, but not my neck, and you'll beg me to stop before I'm finished." -Bones "
25 " Careful, luv. I might be angry with you, but that doesn't mean I don't still want you. So if you do that again, I'll shag you right here, right now, and sod anyone who wants to watch "
26 " And that, Annette, is called Pilates "
27 " Why did he have to be so gorgeous? Why did he have to stand so close, and why did I still love him so much? "
28 " Now I am short on some props, and there isn't nearly enough time in one night to run through all the ways I've fantasized about taking you, but I promise you this..." His voice deepened, "You'll be scandalized in the morning when you can think again. "
29 " I’m in, Cat. I’d never leave you. Especially when you’ve got death breathing down your neck.” “Very funny,” I retorted, since Bones was inches from my throat "
30 " Wouldn’t that make a charming epitaph? Here lies Cat. Killed not by fang, but Ferragamos. "
31 " I'd address his way of trying to discourage Ian later. After all, he could have come up with something other than saying I was a whiny, smelly, trumpet-snoring bad lay. "
32 " I love you, Kitten.Don't try to get out of this. We'll see if you love me when I pay you back.Even then I will love you, Bones called out as I stomped away. "
33 " So that makes him, like, your fang granddaddy. "
34 " Once you go dead, there's no one better in bed!" ~ Cat "
35 " I'm not fretting over control with you. You can have all of the command you desire as long as we're together. I'll just save my demands for the bedroom."I flushed. Bones just chuckled and brought my hand to his lips. "
36 " Rodney the ghoul?...Oh, I liked him. He didn't get angry no matter how many times my mother insulted him. "
37 " Do it your way, but I suggest another one. You could go ahead and beat her bloody, or…you could give me such loud, screaming orgasms that the sound of them blisters her ears. If you have any former-whore-turned-promiscuous-vampire tricks you’ve been holding back, well, bring them on. I only have one stipulation: You’d better outperform any service you gave to her or anyone else, because if I don’t wake up tomorrow red in the face from embarrassment at what you did to me, I’ll be disappointed. "
38 " I might look as average as the next person but I had a few secrets up my sleeves. And lots of knives of course. "
39 " Cooper hesitated, I stared at him and didn't blink. 'Pussying out Coop?'.. He shot me a measured look.. "I'm half Sicilia and half African. Both sides believe in retribution. The only pussy here is yours Commander". "
40 " ...it's impossible." "Yeah, isn't it? Life's a bitch and then one stabes you. "
