1 " There's nothing crueler than time. It stretches when you're in pain, flies away if you're happy, and crushes you when you remember all the years that are now gone. "
― Jeaniene Frost , Wicked Bite (Night Rebel, #2)
2 " Whether you’re Veritas the Law Guardian, Ariel the vampire-witch, or Death’s scary demigod daughter. Doesn’t matter. In all your forms, in every manifestation of yourself, I love you. "
3 " Can’t you resist being sleazy for five minutes?” Ian gave her his most innocent grin. “Me? Innocent as a lamb, I am. "
4 " When are emotions ever ruled by something as trivial as time? "
5 " Maybe you don’t realize it,” I said between clenched teeth. “But I’m having a problem at the moment.” “Does that problem have eyes that shoot silver beams while darkness billows behind her like a cape?” He grinned. “Made me rock hard seeing it.” He was aroused by my supernaturally sociopathic other half? “Fuck. You,” I bit out. He nodded. “Solid plan. "
6 " He’s as dead as my virginity. "
7 " All I felt was how tightly he held me, how his power sparked against my skin, and how he kissed me with delicate savageness, as if he sensed my turmoil and sought to turn it into raw need instead. "
8 " You may leave,” I said, flicking my fingers at Yonah. “Or you may stay. Either way, he will pleasure me now. "
9 " You said I am her,” I argued, not liking the feeling of being denied. “Begin the copulation! "
10 " It should upset you more that I lived in a world that forced me to hide what I was," I replied. "I was born different, but that doesn't mean I was born wrong. No one is. What's wrong are the laws that make people like me hide what we are because others are too bigoted or too afraid to let us live in peace. "
11 " There’s nothing crueler than time,” I murmured. “It stretches when you’re in pain, flies away if you’re happy, and crushes you when you remember all the years that are now gone. "
12 " Fear can make people do terrible things, even to the ones they love," Ian replied in a softer tone. "You know that. You just can't bring yourself to admit it when it comes to Tenoch. Makes you feel disloyal, and that's just the beginning. When you realize it was Tenoch who was wrong, not you, you have to confront the fact that you stuffed half of yourself into a cage merely to appease the fears of a man who should have loved you unconditionally because that is a parent's bloody job.
