Cross & Crown (Sidewinder, #2) QUOTES

1 " Oh god, what now? Are you in jail? Being held by the IRA? Stuck on a reef in the Caribbean?"
"Wow," Kelly said. "That's uncalled for."
Zane laughed. "I thought being engaged to Ty gave me some extra snark privileges. "

Nick grinned. "No. But I am going to take you up on that sloppy blowjob you offered."
Kelly cackled as Nick dragged him inside. "Who says romance is dead? "

3 " What are books good for?”
“Hitting intruders?” Nick mumbled. He rubbed his eyes again. “Doorstops. Insomnia. Special interrogation techniques. Silencing bedmates in the middle of the night. "

4 " I love you,” Nick whispered. “Has nothing to do with the circumstances, or our history, or how close to death we’ve come together. I would love you in any incarnation of yourself. "

5 " I thought you were some sort of camp counselor,” Julian finally said to Kelly. “Work with troubled kids and all that.” Kelly pursed his lips. “Yeah. It’s called Camp Asskicker.
I’ll give you a ‘you tried’ badge next time I see you. "

6 " And you have nothing on him? Is he at least local? Does he have an accent?”
“Yeah, about that. I never heard this accent before.”
“Really.”
“It’s like... Southern with a curlicue.”
“What?” Ty was laughing, but Nick didn’t find his frustration all that amusing.
“I’m serious. It’s like yours, but not. Like he came over from England and put the two accents together. I...”
“Can you mimic him?”
“No! I’ve tried, and my tongue does not make that sound with an R.”
“Your tongue can’t make any kind of an R!”
“Whatever, hillbilly. "

7 " You keep your phone under your pillow?” Kelly asked with a laugh. This was the first time they’d shared a bed while Nick was on duty. “How does it fit beside your gun and your knife and the lube? "

8 " Are we talking about Tyler?" Julian asked, leaning forward to put his face between the two of them from the backseat. "Please do call him, I have missed being handcuffed to every possible surface whenever I speak. "

― Abigail Roux , Cross & Crown (Sidewinder, #2)

14 " This is the staff sergeant coming out," Kelly told Hagan quietly. "I'm used to it."
Hagan looked him up and down, narrowing his eyes. "You come like a fire hose when he gives you an order, don't you?"
"Only if he tells me to," Kelly countered with a smirk. "
