1 " Eye contact is the language that no one can speak, but chemistry is fluent with; it’s the language of fate. It’s two souls catching on fire without a single word being spoken. "

2 " Everything is so quiet when you’re under water. Like you can block out the world and be alone with your thoughts. "
3 " Yeah, but always remember that in peace always lies havoc. "
4 " I learned that if you find yourself in a dark day, it only means that the sun is about to rise. "
5 " He’s like top shelf alcohol, nice to look at and dream about, but you just know that one taste will knock you on your ass. "
6 " At what point did he and I establish something? I missed it. That’s what worries me. It was organic. The knots and bonds were knitted without me noticing. Now I don’t know how to untie all the knots because I missed how they were woven together. "
7 " Well, you remember that next time you have your tongue down the devil’s throat.” He chuckles. “All things sinister taste like honey. "
8 " I sink into my pillow and gaze out at the stars. It’s always been therapeutic for me to watch space. You don’t know what’s up there just as much as you don’t know what’s in the ocean. We think that what we see is all we know, but that’s not true at all. "
9 " You want me to have emotions, baby? To be soft and that same little boy you knew all those years ago?” He tilts his head, leaning down until his lips come over mine. “I will never be that boy. He died when you died.” He licks my bottom lip. “One cannot exist without the other. "
10 " Love is a battlefield, and my knight is a villain. "
11 " Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you know you love someone, or they know you love them. Sometimes, you still have to fight for it, for them. "
12 " I feel soft lips brush against the lobe of my ear, warmth slithering over my skin. “If you want to break free, Little Dovey, I would advise you not to scream.” His other hand comes up to the front of my throat, and he clenches. “It gets my dick hard, and you don’t want that. "
13 " Something happens when you’ve been taken advantage of. It’s as though they take some of your humanity and replace it with their odor. "
14 " You wanna do this?” he asks, though his hands are gripping for my tank. “Speak now or forever hold your fucking peace, Little Bird.” I do what any girl would do with Kingston Axton half naked on top of them, wanting to eat you alive. I hold my fucking peace. "
15 " I lost her. "
16 " Beat snorts, leaning into her bag that’s near her ankles and dropping a book onto the table. She points. “Join the club.” My eyes fall on the cover, the bright green title catching my eyes first. The title is simple. MANIK. The cover image is of Aeron’s chest, but where his face is supposed to be, there are ravens flying out.“Wow! You have a book?”She waves me off. “I didn’t write it, but yes. It’s the story of how Aeron and I met. I’m all for creepy stories. I wouldn’t recommend this author, though. “She drinks too much, procrastinates a lot, and is easily distracted.”Excerpt fromIn Peace Lies HavocAmo JonesThis material may be protected by copyright. "
17 " I’m a big people-watcher. I’ve never been a talker, and a lot of people have said that they assumed I was a snob. I’m not. I’m just quiet. "
18 " When you dance, Dove, you create a new world. You captivate the entire audience. There’s peace in your movements.” King’s arm wraps around my torso, pulling me into him as he walks behind me. “Yeah, but always remember that in peace always lies havoc. "
19 " I wasn’t saved by Prince Charming. I was saved by a villain, and fuck being on his warpath. "
20 " I don’t know,” I whisper, clenching him around me. “Maybe because I’ve always been and always will be yours.” “Even if I can’t have you?” he asks, tilting his head. The light behind the shower door creates a perfect shadow for his sharp jaw. I swallow down the pain those words cause me. “Even if you can’t have me. "
