21 " It wasn't like he could name one single thing about them that made them stand out in his mind. They just gave off a dangerous vibe. Being with them really did feel as if he were inside a tiger's cage, surrounded by the big cats. "
― Christine Feehan , Toxic Game (GhostWalkers, #15)
22 " His entire life, he hadn't cared if he'd upset someone or made them angry. No one had mattered. He'd found a place inside himself where he was safe, where no one could get to him. But she could--she had. "
23 " We all signed up for a one-way ticket when we joined GhostWalkers. It's just my turn. "
24 " I'm not trying to push you away. I'm trying to save your life. I want you to live. You're extraordinary. The world needs you. "
25 " She had captured his heart and he didn't ever want it back. "
26 " You need to accept my apology and then let it go. That's the way we're going to do things when we're together. I'm going to fuck up and apologize a lot. You're going to forgive me and let it go. "
27 " She saw him, that man who kept himself isolated, so separate from the rest of the world. She saw him for who he was, and she liked him anyway. "
28 " She didn't want any contact with Whitney at all. He was the boogeyman. He'd held absolute authority over her for her entire life. Defying him was difficult. It said a lot that Shylah was willing to die-that she would choose a horrific death rather than go back to him. "
29 " The rest of my life isn't that long, so I don't know how big a compliment it is. One day? Two?" She rubbed her chin along his chest. "Stay humble, my man. "
30 " Since no one's ever fallen in love with me, I think now's a good time. I can go out knowing someone thought I was worth that. "
31 " It was wondrous. Almost unbelievable. Like champagne bubbles, but in her soul. She felt effervescent. And so in love. "
32 " If I'm going to die a really ugly death, it's nice to like the person you're going to share that with. "
33 " [...]watching his white teeth flash at her and the lines in his face soften so that he almost looked boyish. That smile was reserved for her alone and it was full-blown, wide, bright and heart-stopping in its joy. "
34 " Freeman flicked him a quick glance. It was one of those looks that seemed to burn a hole right through him. Barry shivered, not liking those eyes on him. They were intelligent, focused - almost too focused. They didn't blink, and it felt like death looking at him. "
35 " The words, sliding into his mind, were vibrant with her emotions. Dripping with sensitivity. Weeping with her reaction. Intimate beyond measure. Because she murmured forgiveness into his mind, she gave more of herself away to him. "
36 " The enhancements made them predators any way you looked at it. Hunters. They were good at their jobs. They looked like soldiers. Doctors. Officers. But they were much more than that and anyone in close confines with them felt the difference sooner rather than later. "
37 " You're a miracle, woman." Draden meant it. "
38 " Shylah was like Nonny. She would stand with her man, carving out a home and fighting by his side when necessary in the worst of circumstances. "
39 " I'm letting myself fall for you. All the way. I want that. You're definitely the kind of man I want. "
40 " I'm not rejecting you. Just the opposite. You mean something huge to me. Huge. I can't think about much of anything else but keeping you alive. "
