1 " I don’t like what I don’t understand, and I just don’t get the human race. They do the weirdest fucking stuff. Dress their pets in little outfits. Lie that they walked on the moon. Vote for Donald Trump. None of that makes sense to me. (Tao on why he doesn't like humans) "
― Suzanne Wright , Fierce Obsessions (The Phoenix Pack, #6)
2 " Where the fuck was her phone? Probably in the gutter, right alongside her dignity. See, this was why she was single. "
3 " Because you’re trouble. You might look harmless enough, but I know crazy when I see it.” He tapped her nose. “You, little raven, are far from sane.” She smiled. “I think that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me. "
4 " Kye had scowled and said, “I don’t like you anymore; you didn’t come back when you said you would.” Then he’d wrapped himself around her leg and said, “Okay, I forgive you.” The kid didn’t hold a grudge long. "
5 " Riley closed her eyes. “I’m getting that déjà poo feeling.”“Déjà poo?” Tao echoed.“The feeling that I’ve heard all this bullshit before. "
6 " It does help your case that you’ve got as much dick in your jeans as you have in your personality. "
7 " You know, Cynthia, there are no guys standing around with their pants down, so I can’t help but ask myself why the fuck you keep opening your mouth.” Sawyer "
8 " The raven flew in circles around the wolf, taunting him. Then they raced through the woods alongside each other. Tired, the raven perched herself on his back as he padded back to the clearing. On their way, they passed two enforcers. Dominic blinked at the sight of them. “Now that’s something you don’t see every day.” Trick raised a brow. “Or ever.” Deep inside the raven, Riley smiled. "
9 " It shouldn’t hurt when I watch you leave the room, should it? "
10 " It would be hard to pick up a cruise ship. Impossible, actually. Unless you’re Superman. You’re not Superman. You can’t fly and you don’t have a cape. You also don’t have x-ray vision or the ability to shoot red-hot beams out of your eyes—both of which would be cool.”He looked at her in sheer exasperation, shouting, “Why are we talking about Superman?”“Because it’s distracting you! "
11 " She blinked. “What?” “Hit me,” Tao repeated, sensing just how on edge she was. “You’re gonna snap if you don’t get it all out of you. Don’t worry; I can take a punch from an itty-bitty thing like—motherfucker.” He stroked his jaw, trying to ease the pain pounding through it thanks to the blow she’d just dealt him. “You weren’t supposed to be that enthusiastic about it.” She shrugged, smiling sweetly. “Sorry.” Yeah? "
12 " You’ve been playing me. That’s brilliantly devious. "
13 " You're not listening to me, are you?" Blinking, Riley looked up from her seat at the breakfast bar. "I am," she lied. "Oh yeah?" said Tao, doubt heavy in his voice. "What did I just say?" She pursed her lips. "I'm still processing it." "What exactly are you processing?" "Let's not revisit the past, Tao. "
14 " I’m thinking about fucking your mouth, to be exact.” “Of course you are,” she said drily. “You’re a boy. Boys are delusional. "
15 " Tao smiled a little smugly. “Riley doesn’t like the mall, she only shops online.” Dante gaped. “Dude, do not let her go. Like ever. Seriously, a woman who doesn’t like the mall is a gift from God—accept that gift with gratitude and grace. "
16 " It doesn't matter to me if you're the other half of my soul or not. You're in my soul. I don't know how you got there, I really don't but you are. "
17 " I’ve seen people grieve over the years. I’ve seen how easy it can be for them to become selfish while it’s happening. A person can get so wrapped up in their own pain that they feel alone, like nobody else can feel that level of pain. They forget that others are hurting too. Maybe "
18 " God, she detested tequila. In fact, while every part of her ached and death seemed so close, she detested everything. Except Tylenol. All she needed in her life right then was Tylenol. Or maybe to just crawl into a hole and crash. "
19 " I'm thinking about fucking your mouth, to be exact.”“Of course you are,” she said drily. “You're a boy. Boys are delusional.”He smiled. “You're not going to let me feel what it's like to slide my cock in your mouth? That doesn't seem fair. I go down on you all the time.” “Oh, I won't deny you eat pussy like a champ.” He laughed. “Like a champ?” “Totally. But you know, over seventy percent of erectile dysfunction cases are caused by having too many blow jobs.”“They are not.” “They could be. "
20 " A twig snapped close by, and then there was a loud hmph. “Here I am going for a walk, minding my own business, and I come across this. Must you do it out in the open where all and sundry can see you?” With a sigh Riley glanced over her shoulder and squinted as shards of sunlight danced off the river, framing the old witch standing over her in judgment. “You say that like you caught us having sex.” “Look at you, lounging all over him. This wouldn’t have happened in my day. Nooooooo. People were more reserved and believed in keeping certain things in the privacy of their own home. You have no self-respect at all.” Riley rubbed her forehead. “I’m not saying you don’t have the God-given right to be neurotic, but must you really exploit the privilege? "
