21 " Air punched out of my lungs. I held her tight, and I knew right then I would burn down the whole universe for her if I had to. I would do anything to keep her safe. Kill. Heal. Die. Anything. Because she was my everything. "
― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Onyx (Lux, #2)
22 " I’m not going to do anything stupid. And even if what I plan is risky and insane, it’s a well-thought-out level of stupidity. "
23 " What was that?” he whispered, eyes narrowed. There was no mistaking the amusement in the tilt to his lips, though. “Very bad kitty… "
24 " Okay, you're prone to moments of great dickdom, but you're not that bad. "
25 " Daemon was the pissy pink elephant in the room with a bad attitude. "
26 " With my name on her lips and with barely anything separating us, I felt the last of my control slipping. Whitish-red light radiated off of me, bathing Kat in the warm glow. There was nowhere that my hands didn’t explore, and the way her body arched into the slightest touch, I was awed and consumed. Kissing her and drawing her deep inside me, I never wanted this to end. She was perfect to me. She was mine, and I wanted her more than I wanted anything in my life. "
27 " I nodded, wondering how one person could single-handedly ruin everything within a minute. It was a talent. "
28 " It had insta-love, the bane of my existence. Girl sees boy and falls in love. Immediately. Soul mate, breath stealing, toes curling, love after one conversation. Boy pushes girl away for some paranormal reason or another. Girl still loves boy. Boy finally admits love. "
29 " Modesty is for saints and losers. I'm neither. "
30 " Some things are best left...unknown, you know? People search for answers and they don’t always like what they get. Sometimes the truth is worse than the lie. "
31 " Because I know.” Daemon appeared in front of me, eyes narrowed. He thumped his hand off his chest, directly above his heart. "Because I know what I feel in here. And I'm not the type of person to run from anything, no matter how hard it is. I'd rather face-plant against a brick wall than live for the rest of my life wondering what could’ve been. And you know what? I don’t think you were the type to run either. Maybe I was wrong "
32 " It was like a scene straight out of Beauty and the Beast. I kept waiting for a teapot to start singing. "
33 " And I never felt this way with anyone else. Like I’m falling every time I’m around you, like I can’t catch my breath, and I feel alive—not just standing around and letting my life walk past me. There’s been nothing like that with anyone else. "
34 " We passed Dee’s empty bedroom. It looked like Pepto-Bismol threw up in there. "
35 " Just because I’m human doesn’t mean I’m weak. "
36 " It's the same thing when I'm gardening or reading. It's just me and what I'm doing, or the world I'm reading, and nothing else. "
37 " It wasn't like there was an alien hiding under the table, moving crap around for fun. "
38 " Resistance is futile, Kitten"..."So is your charm. "
39 " You're right. This is a lot. I faced him. I thought that you were normal. And you're not. You're telling me that I have the DOD gunning for me. That if I ever decide to leave this place, I'm going to be a Snack Pack for an Arum. And better yet, I am going to lose complete control over whatever powers I have and wipe out a family of four, then be put down! All I wanted to do today was eat some god damn fries and be normal! "
40 " Hell, we my end up killing each other over something stupid next week. It's a possibility. But all I do know is what I feel for you isn't going anywhere. "
