1 " Snug pants, bandeau-type corset, and trim, motorcycle jacket. It was a fabulous outfit, but it was so urban-fantasy book cover "
― Chloe Neill , Twice Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #3)
2 " Now that, my friends, is what we vampires call a good exit. "
3 " Some minutes or hours or days later, when I lay boneless and well satisfied, Ethan raised his gaze to mine again. His eyes were silver, his fangs descended. "There is no going back," he said, "Not after this. "
4 " A friend once told me the hurt that came with the end of a relationship was painful because it was the death of a dream—the future you’d imagined with a lover, a loved one, a child, or a friend. That loss was its own painful, nearly tangible thing. You had to reimagine your future, perhaps in a different place, with different people, doing different things than you might have first imagined. "
5 " You are caught, Sentinel.' His voice was rough. "
6 " Ethan: You can run. You can keep running to the ends of the earth. But I won't be far behind you. No. I will never be far behind you. "
7 " It was a fabulous outfit, but it was so urban-fantasy book cover. "
8 " Why, Sullivan, I think I just kicked your ass. "
9 " I’m an asset,” I said remorsefully. “If he gets pissed, it’s because you’ve endangered his weapon.” “Merit, if you really believe that, I have been giving you way too much credit.” His expression was serious enough to put surprise in mine. “Then he has an odd way of showing it.” “Babe, he’s a vampire. "
10 " Opportunities to wear denim to the office don’t come along very often in Cadogan House.” Ethan chuckled, then pushed off the bureau and pulled a black suit coat from a valet stand. “I hear the Master can be such a pain in the ass.” He definitely had his moments. "
11 " do you want to be with a man who has to be convinced to be with you? "
12 " Grief was a miserable emotion. A friend once told me the hurt that came with the end of a relationship was painful because it was the death of a dream—the future you’d imagined with a lover, a loved one, a child, or a friend. That loss was its own painful, nearly tangible thing. You had to reimagine your future, perhaps in a different place, with different people, doing different things than you might have first imagined. "
13 " Luc would have put my head on a pike if you’d taken a hit.” “How do you know I didn’t?” I opened my mouth, then closed it again. “Did you?” His eyes went to sultry slits. “Do you want to look and see?” “Not especially.” Liar, liar, pants on fire. "
14 " You got shot?” “A couple of times, as it turns out. They aren’t lying about the immortality thing. "
15 " Have you ever noticed that however uncomfortable you might have been when you first went to bed-the room too hot or too cold; the pillows not quite right; the mattress lumpy; the sheets sratchy-by the time you should get up, your bed has transformed itself into the Platonic ideal of beds? The room is cool, the bed is soft, and the pillow may as well have been God's Own Headrest. "
16 " Ethan arched an eyebrow and began to lean in.... Then he reached around to pluck something from the table behind me. When he pulled back, folder in hand, I rolled my eyes at my reaction. The man just unbalanced me. "
17 " It’s not about how easy or hard they are to manage. It’s about keeping out people who require management. I prefer a drama-free existence. "
18 " You undo me, Merit. Wholly and completely. You don’t take me at my word. You challenge me at every opportunity. And that means when I’m with you, I am less than the head of this House . . . and I am more than the head of this House. I am a man.” He stroked my cheeks with his thumbs. “In my very, very long life, I need you more than I have ever needed anything.” This "
19 " Ditto,” Ethan said, a surprising amount of venom in his voice. I bit back a proud smile; he seemed to be adopting a little of my snark. "
20 " the work of protecting others is in convincing them they need protection in the first place. "
