21 " And this is what you get for laughing at me." He pulled her up a few inches until his lips touched hers. "
― C.C. Hunter , Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls, #1)
22 " Not everyone in the world is alike. And some of us are a lot more different than others. Some of us were born like this, some of us were changed. But no matter how this happened to you, if you are here it is because this is your destiny. It was chosen for you. "
23 " ...Our heats want the good to win. We're still afraid, we still make mistakes, but if we listen to what our hearts want, we will find the right way. "
24 " What was that, Kylie? Just a thank-you for saving your life.. or was it more? "
25 " Me?" All the crappiness of the day, of the last few weeks, zeroed in on this high and mighty B with an itch, and the scared-rabbit feeling faded. "
26 " Who wanted a hug you had to ask for? It was like having to ask for an apology. "
27 " Kylie didn't know which one of the fairies were doing it, or if it was both- she honestly didn't care- but the thousands of tiny pinpricks of panic started to fade. She felt safe and that was all that mattered. "
28 " Kylie wurde es flau im Magen vor Angst. Als sie den ersten Schritt über die Türschwelle machte, schien sie zu spüren, dass sich ihr Leben für immer verändern würde. "
29 " She assumed these must be the fairies, or Fae as he called them. Not that she blamed him for using the different version. No straight guy would want to be called a fairy. Not that anyone could mistake Derek for gay. Something about the way he walked and carried himself was overtly female-loving male—like Trey. "
30 " He caught her. His touch, the feel of his warm hand on her elbow, sent waves of pain right to her heart. And standing this close, his clean, masculine scent filled her airways. Oh God, she loved his smell. "
31 " Kylie was seconds away from falling against his warm chest and begging him to hold her. Nothing ever felt better than Trey’s arms around her, but then she saw the girl, Trey’s screw toy, walk outside, carrying two beers. In less than five minutes, Trey would be trying to get in her panties. And from the too-low-cut blouse and too-short skirt the girl wore, it appeared he wouldn’t have to try too hard. "
