1 " I liked you, cop. From the moment I met you. No… not the first moment. I wanted to kill you when I first met you. But then I liked you. A lot. "
― J.R. Ward , Lover Revealed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #4)
2 " You're such a pain in the ass. (Butch) Said the SIG to the Glock. (V) "
3 " Well, wasn't this a night for firsts. Sex. Arson. Pants. "
4 " You've got some of me in you, cop.' Wrath's smile stuck around as he slid his glasses back on. 'Course, I always knew you were a royal. Just didn't think it went past the pain-in-the-ass-part is all. "
5 " ...When it was finished, the scaled dragon looked around and as the thing spotted V, a growl rippled up to the bleachers, then ended in a snort. "You finished, big guy?" Va called down. "FYI, goalpost over there would work righteous as a toothpick. "
6 " All right, then, her first rule for the rest of her days: no more looking outside for definitions. She might not have any clue who she was, but better to be lost and searching than shoved into a social box by someone else. "
7 " You're a good Irishman, right?" When Butch nodded, V said, "Irish, Irish… let me think. Yeah…" Vishous's eyes sobered, and in a voice that cracked, he said, "May the road rise to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rains fall soft upon your fields. And… my dearest friend… until we meet again may the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand. "
8 " Hell, any plan that added "and then we pray" is not a trip to Disneyland. "
9 " Vishous's chest expanded. . . and his diamond stare slowly swung to Butch. There was a heartbeat of intensity. Then V reached out and repositioned the cross so it once again hung over Butch's heart. "You did well, cop. Congratulations, true? "
10 " Rhage's hand landed on Butch's shoulder. "Besides, you don't look a thing like him. I mean...hello? You're this beefy Irish boy. He's like...bus exhaust or some shit. "
11 " Course, I always knew you were a royal. Just didn't know it went past the pain-in-the-ass part. "
12 " The Destroyer has arrived and you are he. "
13 " Don't think I was the only reason he healed. You're his light, Marissa. Don't ever forget that. "
14 " Butch put his hand on his roommate's nape and murmured, "I'll do the saving until you get your head back, how about that? I'll keep you safe. "
15 " Butch didn't live in his own place. He didn't spend his own money. He had no job, no future. He was a well-kept pet, not a man. "
16 " The Brotherhood was strong, a unit. a powerful force in their world for good. And so too were the females. Strong. A unit. A powerful force for good in their world. "
17 " United by their clasped hands, they became again the two halves, the light and the dark. The Destroyer and the Savior. A whole. "
18 " Besides, you don't look a thing like him. I mean… hello? You're this beefy Irish white boy. He's like… bus exhaust or some shit. "
19 " The Brother's eyes narrowed. "But here's something to keep in mind. You ever hurt him on purpose and I will consider you my enemy. "
20 " In the oh-my-God-this-has-to-be-Christmas silence that followed, he struggled to reorder the last six months, to catch up with this reality they'd somehow missed. He wanted her. She wanted him. Was it true? "
