Rage and Ruin (The Harbinger, #2) QUOTES

1 " Every cell and molecule of who I am desires, needs and covets Layla. Humans call that love. I call it obsession. Same thing, I suppose, but I am a demon, Trinity. I'm brutally selfish and there are very few things I truly care about. While I may randomly commit acts of perceived kindness, I do them only so that Layla is happy. Because when she's not happy, it makes me want to do really, really bad things to whatever and whoever has upset her. "

2 " I'm coming to pick you up. We now have plans."
"We do?" I blinked once and then twice at my fuzzy reflection in the bathroom mirror. "I just got out of the shower."
"Well, you're going to need to put some clothes on, because I doubt Layla will be thrilled if I pick you up and you're naked as the day you were hatched out of a little Trueborn egg. "

3 " You expect me to wipe out everyone while you play Candy Crush on your phone?"
"Not Candy Crush. I'd probably be playing Wordsy. "

4 " You say I have a light about me, but you are my light."
Zayne reclaimed the space between us, kissing me. "You're never getting rid of me now."
"I wouldn't want to. "

5 " You make this so hard," I muttered.
"Make what hard?"
Irritated and charmed, and annoyed because I was charmed, I glared at him. "Not liking you," I admitted.
Zayne's lips tipped up and a wide, beautiful smile appeared, stealing my breath again.
My eyes narrowed as I crossed my arms. "I don't know why you're smiling."
"Maybe because..." He rose, extending his hand toward me. "Maybe because I'm not trying to make it easy, Trin. "

6 " I'm your Protector. No one, demon or Warden or human, is going to put you in a position of danger."
I met his stare. "You're my Protector, not my rabid guard dog that bites anyone who gets too close."
"Oh, I'll do more than bite. "

7 " His forehead dropped to mine, and the breath we took was shared. "Whatever happens, this will be worth it," he said, and it sounded like a promise. "This is right, no matter what. "

8 " I can see you. Each breath you take. The way your lips are parted. How wide your eyes are and how flushed your skin is. That light inside you. The spark. I can see it and it's beautiful. You're beautiful. "

9 " When she stepped back, she smiled at me and then turned. "What?" she yelled.
I followed her gaze to find Zayne and Roth standing several feet away, watching us.
"Nothing." Roth has hands in his pockets. "Just that you two getting all handsy was kind of hot."
Zayne jerked his head toward Roth.
The demon prince shrugged. "Look, I'm just being honest. I'm a demon. I don't know why any of you would expect anything less from me."
"It's a good thing I love him," Layla muttered as she stalked forward, and I got moving. "And I do love him with every part of my being and then some, but he... he just doesn't people well. "

10 " There were no walls. No stupid file cabinets, Nothing between me and everything I felt. Nothing between me and all that Zayne was.
Which was more.
So much more. "

11 " Thank you for the food. You're a keeper."
"Good. I want to be kept. "

12 " I'm... greedy enough for anything." His thumb moved along my chin and then the line of my jaw. "Or maybe it's that I'm desperate for anything that you will allow. "

13 " You're going to want to play along and do so quickly, because I have the patience of a hungry toddler and a severe problem with impulsivity. I don't think before I act. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Rage and Ruin (The Harbinger, #2)

14 " You should see your face."
"I don't need to see it to know it has WTF written all over it." I told him. "

15 " Look, I just don't want to be..."
A burden. A victim. A challenge. Someone to pity and coddle and worry about. Someone treated less than, even with the best of intentions. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Rage and Ruin (The Harbinger, #2)

16 " You're going to have to hold on harder than that." Amusement lanced his tone, and I rolled my eyes. "And scoot up, or the moment this Ducati moves, you're going to fly right off the back of it."
"Sounds like if that happens, it's your fault," I retorted, but flattened my hands against his sides. "And if I get any closer, I'm going to be riding your back like a book bag."
"That's a sentence I never thought I'd hear." His voice crackled through the microphone.
"You're welcome. "

17 " Cocking his head, the demon frowned. He stared at me as if he'd ordered a tender marinated filet, but instead had ended up with a cheap flat beef patty. I was sort of offended.
I was 100 percent organic Angus beef, thank you very much. "

18 " Roth might be a cool demon 99 percent of the time, but I wasn't stupid. Not that I needed the daggers when I had mt grace, but I wouldn't just whip out my grace willy-nilly and start a party with it.
I'd end a party with it. "

20 " I'm a freaking Trueborn," I said, so tired of lying and what was the point? Her husband knew, and there was another Trueborn out there. Hell, there could be a league of them for all I knew, with their own softball teams. "
