42 " What did you do to that woman to piss her off so much?” Harper asked Knox.“My demon loses interest in its sexual partners very quickly.” It was probably better that his little sphinx knew that upfront. “Females tend to be offended by that.”“Is this a warning?”Knox shrugged. “It’s simply better that you know.”“Since I’ve no intention of hopping into your bed, it’s not something I need to know.

45 " You’re very sure of yourself. And you mistakenly seem to think you can be very sure of me” She pouted. “How sad for you.”He gave her a pointed look. “I will have you in my bed, Harper. I always take what I want. Right now, that’s you. "
46 " She is very important to me. And it would be the height of stupidity to harm her by word or deed, because I will eviscerate anyone who dares to do so. "
47 " You want to know what I can do, pooch? I can shove my foot so far up your ass, you’ll feel it in your throat. "
48 " Outside, he continued speaking even as she locked the front door. “I’ve told you over and over, I’m sorry and I hate that I’ve hurt you. What do you want me to do?”She faced him. “Honestly? Stick your cock in a bees nest. Call me and let me know how that goes. "
49 " Lucian’s pissed that I found out the whole Carla story. He thought it was best that I just believed the woman was an evil heifer, nothing more.”“Can we not talk about that negligent, childish, self-absorbed bastard?”“Can’t you come up with a pet name for him that’s a little less offensive?”“How about I shorten it to just ‘bastard’?”Harper sighed heavily. “Forget it. "

And…“That’s a volcano.” Definitely not what she’d expected to see.“It is.” Taking her hand, he walked her towards it.“I’ve never seen one this close.” It was a scary yet beautiful sight. And seriously big.“We’ll be getting closer. Much, much closer.”She tensed, coming to an abrupt halt. “I don’t like the way you said that. "
51 " Since moving to Vegas, I saw her a couple of times. She dismissed me with a haughty look. So, yes, I’m very sure.”That had anger bubbling inside of him. “Knowing that makes me want to cast her out.”“Nah, it’ll be more fun to have her stick around. She likes to pretend I don’t exist. But you can’t pretend someone doesn’t exist if they’re being paraded in front of your entire lair, can you? "
52 " one’s all good, and no one’s all bad. Everyone has different dimensions to their personality, and everyone has different things that drive them. People can change, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. A person’s nature is a fluid thing.” He "
