Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1) QUOTES

1 " Draven stood below the gate disrobing. Slowly, and piece by piece, he removed his sword, his surcoat, his mail armor, and then his padded aketon until there was nothing left but the wealth of tawny skin gleaming in the sunlight.

Stark naked, he walked toward the gate.

Emily bit back her tears as she understood. "You asked me for proof of his feelings, Majesty. You now have it! "

2 " Do you know what a friend is, milord? (Emily)
An enemy in disguise. (Draven) "

― , Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1)

3 " (Emily frowned, then turned about in her saddle to scan the inner bailey.)
Milady? What do you seek? (Simon)
A marker announcing this as the gate to Hades. (Emily) "

― , Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1)

4 " Allow me to present myself, milady. I am Simon of Ravenswood, brother to the ogre, and your most fervent protector for this journey. (Simon)
Wonderful. And pray tell who will protect her from your drooling? Should I have my squire fetch rags now, or should I wait until she starts to drown? (Draven) "

5 " Oh, Draven. You’re my hero too! If not for you, that mean old boar would have eaten me alive. (Simon)
Get off me, you nimble-pated gelding. (Draven) "

6 " All a woman ever needs know about men is that they are creatures of their codpieces. Appeal to their chausses and you will have complete control of them, for when their male piece is in control, their brain is
not. "

7 " I should be mortified, I know. But Alys is a good friend to me, and though she has her faults, she has a good and generous heart.(Emily)
And is that all that matters to you? (Draven)
Aye. People will always make mistakes, but in the end ‘tis their heart that matters most. (Emily) "

8 " I didn’t think you’d allow me to attend. (Emily)
I’m a beast, Emily, not a bastard. (Draven) "

― , Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1)

9 " If it makes you feel better though, she is well worth it. (Draven)
I hope you can still say that when they’re scooping your entrails out and you’re still alive to feel it. (Simon) "

10 " He is the devil! (Hugh)
Spawned of hell and suckled on the teat of a demon. I make no claims to anything else. (Draven) "

― , Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1)

11 " But my father’s is closest. (Emily)
A wounded hawk doesn’t bed down in a fox’s den. (Draven) "

― , Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1)

12 " I’ve had worse. (Draven)
Such as? (Simon)
The day my heart was ripped out of me. I assure you the king’s executioner could never equal the pain I felt the day I saw our mother die. (Draven) "

― , Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1)

13 " I never thought I’d see the day you retreated from anything, least of all a mere slip of a woman. (Simon)
And never did I think I would find a woman I wanted so badly. Beauty, you’re a treacherous lure with a deadly hook, and this fish has no choice except to flee before it gets caught. (Draven) "

― , Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1)

14 " My mother always said that you should share your troubles. If you let them out, then they are less likely to burden you, whereas if you keep them inside they fester your blood and taint your soul. (Emily) "

15 " a woman ever needs know about men is that they are creatures of their codpieces. Appeal to their chausses and you will have complete control of them, for when their male piece is in control, their brain is not. "

16 " Well, then again, she herself could be pretty single-minded when the occasion warranted it. But going over accounts and taxes? Quite honestly, she’d rather be tied to a stake by her hair and drowned in pickle juice. (Emily) "

― , Master of Desire (Brotherhood of the Sword #1)

17 " Then I tell you this, as you value your putrid lives, you will leave here and make whatever lies you wish to your master. Never darken Lord Orrick’s doorway again. For if you do, there is no corner of hell you can find to hide that I won’t come seek you out. And I promise you, your master’s wrath is nothing compared to mine. (Draven) "

18 " Emily sighed and looked to Simon. "Your brother is a hard man." Draven choked on his wine. She frowned. "Milord, are you all right?" she asked, pounding her hand on his back. "Fine," Draven said, then shrugged off her touch. "Your choice of words just caught me off guard." Once more Simon burst into laughter. "What?" she asked. Simon shook his head. "I'll leave it to my brother to explain to you just how hard a man he is." "Simon," he warned. "Don't growl at me when you instigated it."

-Emily, Draven & Simon "
