1 " Talia was the realization of his fantasies, his darkest dreams. The ones that begged for The Little Death over and over, "
― Jennifer Ashley , Dark And Dangerous
2 " Sera, I presume?” he said and her bones melted at the sound of his deep voice pronouncing her name. She nodded and held out her hand. He raised a dark eyebrow in her direction and didn’t take it. She lowered it again, feeling like a fool for thinking he would touch her, a turned human, and for the first time since she could remember, her gaze didn’t want anything to do with him. "
3 " Oh. Lord have mercy. Victor wasn’t here to help with the interview. This wasn’t an interview at all. It was an audition. Her heart thundered. Her limbs shook. Panic prickled down her spine. "
4 " Bid me come, and here I am. Shape my being, and for a short time I can move mortal air in and out of my chest. Ask me to love you, Bright Light, and you make real a dream-giver’s deepest desire. "
5 " His cock bumped her, thick and wide. Spike opened her thighs around his hips, lifting her and holding her with perfect strength while he slid up and inside. Myka's eyes went wide. Hell, he couldn't be that... Oh, my God... it has to stop soon... Oh, my God. "
6 " he towered over them, muscles stretching the suit he wore. He must have purchased a size too small because he looked as though he was about to tear the material when he moved "
7 " Custo relinquished her carefully, but seemed relieved to let go of her, to let go of Death’s child. “Okay,” Adam said. He wasn’t afraid of her. He’d been looking, praying, for Death for so long that he welcomed the chance to cradle her close—his means to Jacob’s end, his tool of vengeance, "
8 " We’ve had a banshee in residence,” Jim argued with a wave at Talia. “So we have,” Adam answered. A banshee. A weapon. It was about fucking time. "
9 " Think about it, Adam,” Jim said. “Lady Amunsdale could tell us things. Could tell you things like...like...what that asshole Spencer’s been up to. She is a witness. She’s been here—everywhere—all along. Make Talia call her.” Adam’s expression shifted, his gaze sharpening with interest. "
10 " Like good sex, driving the car was a study in exhilarating restraint and control. "
11 " As soon as she’s able to move, she is out of here. I mean it. I want her gone. No one in this world is going to come between us. "
12 " Talia gestured wildly around the loft. “You said the loft is secure. Is it?” She was never to fall in love, buy a house, and start a family of her own. His eyes narrowed. “Yes.” “And your war business is on hold for the moment?” Never to share her deepest secrets or desires. His face darkened at her sarcasm. “For the moment.” “No other life-and-death situations to tend to?” Never to know passion and be fulfilled. “Not at present.” He clipped his words with visible anger. “Fine.” Talia stalked across the room, closing the distance between them. It was past time she took what she wanted. "
13 " Sure,” she answered. “Just give me a minute.” A minute to jump to my death off my balcony. "
14 " For crissakes, Talia,” Adam rumbled at her neck. “Let it come. I’m not afraid of the dark. "
15 " Is there room for a woman who could take a man and change his no to a yes? "
16 " I need a male who looks at me as if I’m his world and nothing else matters. A male who wants to see me first thing upon wakening and last thing as he closes his eyes at night. A male who needs me as much as his next breath. "
17 " Be subtle. “Slow eating is good,” she agreed. “Like the way I eat chocolate-covered strawberries. The big, pointed ones that I can barely get my lips around. I like to suck them real slow. "
18 " her touch fire and bliss. He couldn’t hold out against her much longer. His defences were dropping with each passing second and now he teetered on the edge of surrendering to her seduction. "
19 " Devil, it was game over. His goddess had gone to war on his defences and was now assured of her victory. "
20 " he had no idea what to say to her anyway. We made a mistake warred with We have just enough time for another good go. Experience told him both approaches were very wrong. "
