41 " The cell wanted to overthrow the government and to do that, they were hurting their own people. Draden had never seen the logic in that, how could they convince themselves that what they were doing was justified because they believed in the endgame. "
― Christine Feehan , Toxic Game (GhostWalkers, #15)
42 " For one moment, their eyes locked. His were blue, but that was far too mundane to describe them. Almost a pure dark blue, a true navy. She'd seen them for a second, but it didn't matter with her enhanced vision. She would dream about those eyes for the rest of her life. "
43 " She hadn't expected the intamacy of his voice in her head. It had a smoothness to it that gave way now and then to gravel. "
44 " He held her, his arms tight around her, trying to tell her without words, that no matter what, he would be there for her "
45 " He worked well with the GhostWaljers, as a member of that team, but having Shylah as a partner was eye-opening. She seemed to anticipate every possibility as he did, and she took steps to protect him more fiercely than any person ever had. "
46 " Shylah's soft laughter slid into Draden's mind. Warm like honey, filling him up when he hadn't known he was empty. "
47 " He wanted to believe in another life where he could have his woman for more than the short time it appeared they had left, but if he didn't ever get that, he would celebrate every second with her now. "
48 " Peonies are beautiful perennials. A classic, really. Every garden should have them. They're dependable, have a timeless, elegant beauty and will bloom with very little attention." He was silent for a moment while she switched branches and he followed. "Like you "
49 " The woman was sexy, lethal and very confident. The sound of her laughter was enticing. Intriguing. It played along his nerve endings and sent an electrical current running through his bloodstream. He was on the verge of death and he'd never felt more alive. "
50 " They had tied their lives together in a way that meant she would never be alone. They belonged together, to each other, and had a bond for all the world to know. "
51 " I'm trying to decide if I'm having hallucinations and you're really an angel--or witch. Either one, I can't tell yet. "
52 " His body recognized her. Knew her. Needed her. Every cell. He'd never been so acutely focused on another human being. "
53 " He was such a mixture, tough as nails and lethal, but with her, unfailingly a gentleman, tender and sweet, looking out for her so carefully. "
54 " Whitney may be a complete madman and an absolute fucking wreck of a human being, but he gave me you," Draden said. "I'd still put a bullet in his head, but I'd thank him first. "
55 " We clearly were on the same team. You killed over a dozen of the bastards and I wasn't about to reward you by killing you. They deserved it. "
56 " He preferred smaller knives, but when you wanted to make a statement, you did it big. He wanted this man cowed and willing to talk. "
57 " [Joe] was the sort of man who stayed cool under the most embarrassing situations and having Shylah RIP him a new one in front of an audience had to be right up there. "
58 " Nonny has this way about her. She made me realize that there was good people in the world. She made me see that we were a family of sorts--the GhostWalkers in my unit--and that we had extended family in the other GhostWalker units. I liked that. "
59 " She'd never had a breakdown before. That had been scary, to cry without the ability to stop it. Crying on Draden should have been humiliating, but it had been comforting. "
60 " The air was hot and humid. Sultry. Her body seemed to have caught some of the intensity of the storm. She felt a little wild and out of sorts. Edgy. On the verge of something big. "
