1 " He stepped forward to keep our bodies aligned, and took my chin in his hand. "I will have you. Body, mind, and soul. And I won't share you with anyone else. "
― Chloe Neill , House Rules (Chicagoland Vampires, #7)
2 " As I'm not currently being chased, I see no need to run. "
3 " I reject the notion I am capable of doing anything 'not well' ~ Ethan "
4 " Ethan Sullivan, registered smart-ass "
5 " Ethan could be frustrating at times. Infuriating at others. But there was no doubt he was a Master among men. "
6 " I looked at Jonah. “I’m still learning who you are. And you’re my partner, so I appreciate that you’re willing to take a punch for me.” I walked to Ethan and glared up at him. “But you know better than this, Ethan Sullivan. "
7 " Ethan sidled next to me, a hand propped on the shelf. “Come here often?” he said. “Excuse me?” “I see you’re here in this”—he gestured at the shelves—“library all alone. You must be a student here?” He traced a fingertip down the hollow of my throat, lifting goose bumps on my arms. Since my mind hardly worked when he did things like that, it took a moment for his words to register. Was he initiating a bout of role-playing … about a library? “Ethan Sullivan,” I marveled. “You have a library fantasy.” He smiled slyly. “I have a doctoral-student-turned-vampire fantasy. "
8 " I gripped the hem of his shirt and pulled it upward and over his head,taking a long moment to enjoy the view:smooth,eternally golden skin over lean muscle. "
9 " The man was walking power and confidence, and he was all mine. “Seriously,” Lindsey whispered, “well done.” “I know, right? "
10 " We need to give you two a couple name,” I said, taking a seat on the opposite side of the table. “Lucsey, perhaps?” Luc didn’t bat an eyelash; he simply turned a page of the newspaper. “Call us what you want, Sentinel. We already have a name for you.” That was alarming. Not that there was a way to avoid it, but I wasn’t sure I wanted them discussing my relationship around the Ops Room table. “No, you don’t.” “Yes, we do.” Lindsey stirred her spoon noisily around the walls of the yogurt cup to get the remaining drops. “You’re Methan.” “We’re what?” “Methan. Merit and Ethan. Methan. "
11 " That guy,” Lindsey said, “is a douche. Asterisk, I hate him. Footnote, he can suck it. "
12 " I took a moment before heading inside to share the evening’s most important news in a quick text to Mallory: ETHAN EATS TOAST WITH A FORK. It took a moment before she responded. DARTH SULLIVAN = PRETENTIOUS HOTTIE, she responded. "
13 " He wasn’t supposed to know at all, but he certainly shouldn’t find out from her. "
14 " True. But anyway, the rioters get all riled up, and they chant: ‘What do we want? Brains! When do we want them? Brains! "
15 " The GP appeared in its typical V formation. “Goose on the lawn,” Luc said. “Goose?” I asked. “That V formation. I like to use derogatory terms to describe the GP whenever possible. "
16 " We have chosen liberty and self-respect. "
17 " Sometimes being an underling meant managing up. "
18 " Death waits for no vampire. —Ethan Sullivan I like bacon. —Merit "
19 " Woe is Merit, the immortal vampire with the never-gray hair and long legs and hot blond boyfriend. "
20 " Things happen,” he said. “They happen, and we pick ourselves up, and we get back out there. "
