1 " If you are a dream, then it is one from which I do not ever wish to be woken. "
― Kathryn Ann Kingsley , Heart of Dracula (Immortal Soul, #1)
2 " Careful opening doors. You may not like what you find. "
3 " Loyalty brokered by terror is a fragile thing. It shatters on the first display of weakness from he who holds the end of the leash. "
4 " That was why she enjoyed them so much. Flowers were untouched by grief or sadness. "
5 " Vampires are real. "
6 " She let her fingers trail over the armrest again. “Who are you?” A hand fisted in her hair and yanked her head back. A voice, little more than an angry hiss near her ear, accompanied it. “I could ask you the very same.” She screamed and dropped the brooch. "
7 " He wants me to realize the trap I am in is far larger than any chains he would sling on me or any cage he might keep me in. He brought me to sleep in my bed to show that I cannot run or hide from him. I am still his prisoner all the same. In his own right, I think it is a show of mercy to let me run about my jail with some sense of freedom. "
8 " When I touch something, I see a memory. A reflection of a time long past. It isn’t changeable. It is like experiencing a moving painting or a zoetrope that might animate around you. I’m an outside observer. "
9 " It was signed near the bottom. Simply, succinctly, and with a single letter that left no question about who had left it. And it sent goosebumps crawling over her. -V. "
10 " Oddly enough, he found himself sympathetic toward Miss Parker. Death had come to claim her, and not in any way she could have possibly guessed. "
11 " She took a step back and pointed the gun now squarely not at Jonathan Harker… But at Vlad Tepes Dracula. "
12 " You wore my color. You wore my jewelry. You paint yourself as my property, seeking to lure me into a trap. "
13 " You have lured me in, I will say that much.” He leaned toward her neck, and she felt his breath there against her. She knew what he meant to do. "
14 " I feel you fighting me. There is much strength in you, little empath. I cannot wait to taste you. "
15 " He leaned toward her throat once more. His lips grazed her throat. She pressed her palms against his chest, finding the sudden will to fight. He was going to bite her—to drink her—perhaps to kill her. "
16 " You will feel my kiss this night, Maxine Parker.” Crimson eyes were lidded as they watched her, the desire in them undisguised and burning as bright as the red moon in the sky. "
17 " I will have all of you in time, Miss Parker. You have sealed your fate with me this night. How I have delighted in you…how I know I will continue to do so. Do you fear my bite? "
18 " Then I will take my kiss from you another way instead.” He shifted to hover his lips over hers, a hair’s breadth between them. For that brief second, it seemed as though all of time stopped. Her heart hitched in her chest. “Let go, Miss Parker.” Then the gap was closed. He kissed her. "
19 " Despite herself, despite what she should feel, she moaned against his lips. It was her first kiss. Her first real kiss. And it belonged to a vampire. "
20 " Abandoned by God. And now a god on Earth himself. "
