1 " Ania. If he took her and kept her, she would give them both peace. God knew he needed peace. "
― Christine Feehan , Leopard's Wrath (Leopard People #11)
2 " He'd grown up a criminal. A man who hurt others. A man who destroyed the lives of others. A man who killed. That was who and what he was, and no matter how hard he tried to climb out of that world of blood and treachery, there was no getting out. Never. He didn't have much to live for. "
3 " I'm not a good man, Ania, and you're a good woman. A man like me has to think long and hard before he decides to bring a woman like you into his world. "
4 " One night will never be enough. A thousand nights will never be enough. If you come to me, Ania, it will be a commitment to me. To us. There will be no going back. "
5 " Lazar didn't beat loyalty into me," Mitya said. "He taught me how to hate. He taught my leopard how to hate. How to feel that terrible burning need for vengeance. "
6 " I want him to come after me, Sevastyan. This time, I'm not a little boy. This time, I'm prepared to die just to take him with ne. "
7 " When one welcomes death, one has nothing to lose in a fight," he explained to his cousin. "He always has the advantage. "
8 " I would never bring a woman into my personal hell. I know Lazar is coming. You know it as well. I would be divided. Need to protect her. Want to live for her." She would be his Achilles heel. "
9 " My grandmother used to say, "Don't frown, Ania, laughter is so much better for the world. Give your family and friends that gift always. "
10 " That direct stare spoke volumes of knowledge about secrets she suddenly needed to know. He hadn't said a word, but all she could think was sex. Sin. "
11 " He realized that as much as he wanted his Leopard to settle and feel contentment, claiming Ania Dover was really for himself. For him. He needed her. He was already addicted to her smile. To her brightness. But it was the way she brought peace to him that he needed. Once he felt that. He knew he couldn't live without it. "
12 " Don't look at me as if you fear me. I would give my life for you. "
13 " He wanted her loyalty. Her faithfulness. Her love. That was the bottom line. He wanted Ania to fall so deeply in love with him, she would never consider leaving him. "
14 " I'll never leave you," he whispered aloud, "We'll make this work. "
15 " She wasn't ever going to be that woman regulated to the background. "
16 " His body hurt all the time. The bullets had torn into him; not only him, but his leopard as well, nearly killing both of them. He wished they had succeeded. "
17 " The cat was still clawing at him, still trying for supremacy, but not in his usual aggressive, out for blood and mayhem, for the taste of human flesh manner. No this time he felt almost playful.Playful? His Leopard? There was no time;even in childhood, his Leopard had never felt playful. "
18 " He wasn't a good talker under the best of circumstances. If she needed someone killed, he was her man, but trying to sound suave and sophisticated was far beyond any ability he had. "
19 " He wanted his Leopard to keep up the strange behavior. He sensed that this woman, in some way, calmed the dangerous predator in him, and having that respite, if only for a few moments, after a lifetime of sheer hell, was a miracle. "
20 " His cousin would be immediately suspicious she was an assassin come to kill him. He wouldn't have minded so much. His cat was content, and at that moment so was he. It would have been a good moment to go out. "
