― Elise Kova , A Dance with the Fae Prince (Married to Magic, #2)
2 " Love is the closest thing we have to meaning in this world. The love of a mother for her children, the love between friends, the love of a husband and wife, love for who we are and all those who strove before us to hand us the world we have now—love is why we live, why we fight, why we carry on when things get tough…it is not always easy. But it is our reprieve from true hardship, not the hardship itself. "
3 " Every time, I was “unreasonable” for reading between the lines. But that’s where the truth always lies, isn’t it? The unsaid between. "
4 " Why is it that it is so much easier for me to process being treated like a thing than a person? How is it that the latter hurts more?” I blurt. Giles blinks several times over. His brows arch upward, knitting together in the middle. I can’t stand his pity already. “Because now you know this is how you should have been treated all along. Because you know that if one person sees you, respects you as they should, then there’s no excuse for anyone else not to. The fault does not lie—has never lain—with you, but rather the shortcomings of those you have been surrounded by. You were always worthy. "
5 " I find I can’t stand most humans,” I mumble. "
6 " I want you to kiss me all over until there is not a part of my body that you don’t know. I want you to explore me with your tongue and fingers. I want you to make me yours as a man should make his wife. I want you to go slow until I am breathless and begging, and then I want you to go hard. I want to shatter together and fall like the silvery arcs of shooting stars as we descend from heaven of our making. "
7 " Our song, lurked in crypts of kings gone by.” I shift my fingers on the neck, transitioning back to the verse, now playing each note in harmony as I find the melody once more. "
8 " Davien says little; he leads the pack and broods quite dramatically. "
9 " he says with a smile so dashing it should be a crime. "
10 " Stop sticking up for people when you shouldn’t. If someone treats you badly, call them out on it.” She shakes her head and glances at me from the corners of her eyes. “Never thought I’d hear a human defending a fae…or saying they’re ‘all right.’ What has the world come to? "
11 " I have never been jealous of a flower before…but here I am. "
12 " Every inch of skin puckers into gooseflesh. "
13 " How did we end up here? Wasn’t I thinking earlier about how I could never allow this to happen again and that it was nothing more than an itch? Why is he kissing me now? Why do I want it all so badly? "
14 " My world narrows to consist only of him "
15 " Don’t read into it. "
16 " We made a deal,” I finally whisper. "
17 " I’m enveloped once more. "
18 " I do,” Davien says. I slowly slide down the door to my knees. Covering my mouth, I wheeze. My stomach clenches. I feel like my body is trying to turn itself inside out. "
19 " In time, I’m sure she will mean nothing to me and this will be little more than an infatuation. I will find a proper queen. And I will be free of this hold Katria has placed upon me. "
20 " Do you love her? I do. "
