21 " Pia. “Maybe I’m being paranoid.”“Paranoid is a lot better than stupid, sugar.” Eva. "
― Thea Harrison , Dragos Takes a Holiday (Elder Races, #6.5)
22 " The plot thickens…I didn’t even know we had a plot on this trip. "
23 " You know what’s going to happen if we find him. He’s going to be an asshole, and Dragos, you can’t kill him just because he’s an asshole. You’re not Lord of these islands. "
24 " Get out,” Dragos said. The dragon was in his voice.Except for the Light Fae male, all the customers rushed for the door. "
25 " So that’s it.”“Pretty much.” He closed his eyes. “Unless you let me kill him. "
26 " Eva. “Hugh swore he checked the room when he put Liam down for a nap, even though nobody had been in there since you got him up this morning. I swear to you, the house was locked up tight.”Locked.Pia’s head came up. “Oh, shit. "
27 " Nobody threatens my family and lives.” The dragon’s deep voice rolled over the waves like thunder. “Nobody. "
28 " Dragos asked, “What on earth is that?”“It’s a vegan harvest roast.”He shook his head. “I’m sorry, lover, someone should have taught you this by now. The word ‘vegan’ and ‘roast’ do not go together in the same sentence. "
29 " Dragos had a short temper at the best of times. Now he was liable to bite somebody’s head off if they looked at him funny. "
30 " A tail trailed the floor behind him. He reached for it with one forepaw, tugged the end and his butt wagged. The tail was attached to him. "
31 " Running footsteps sounded in the background, but it was only Daddy, so he ignored it. "
32 " Or Dragos paid the other vacationers to change their plans. She paused to listen to her internal radar. Did she feel funny about that? Nope. "
33 " Pia divided her attention between the scenery outside and studying her son’s triangular head with the slender, graceful snout. He was perfectly formed, with every detail that Dragos’s dragon form had, only in miniature. "
34 " As she took Liam, she whispered to Dragos, “You win all the good Daddy points.”His eyes glinted with wicked sensuality, and his eyelids lowered to conceal it. Ever the opportunist, he murmured, “And what will that get me?”“If you play your cards right, it might get you lucky later. "
35 " The other man stood his ground, with an arrogant, insolent stance. Although it was hard to believe, clearly the idiot didn’t have a clue either who he had ogled, or who he had engaged in a pissing contest. Had he been living under a rock? "
36 " Pretty sure. When we reached the car earlier, all I could think of was: Key. Ignition. Stick shift. Wheel. And then: No.” Dragos "
37 " Sometimes the single-syllable conversations are the most important ones. "
38 " Aaaand, that’s assault and battery,” Pia muttered.Did officials in another country have the legal authority to throw the head of an Elder demesne in jail? "
39 " No wonder Dragos’s lawyers were so rich. He was a litigator’s wet dream. "
40 " My wife says that I can’t kill you for being an asshole. She has a much kinder heart than I do. If you or any of your men come anywhere near us, I will take you apart. Slowly. "
