1 " I love you. For real. No simulated affection or love ever again, because with you, I don’t need to simulate. You dragged that dead part of me out of the past and revived it. I didn’t die fifteen years ago, but I didn’t live either … until you. "
― Cora Reilly , Twisted Emotions (The Camorra Chronicles, #2)
2 " I cleared my throat. “Are there any parts off limits for me?” Nino raised his dark eyebrows. “Like the Dark Arts area?” I froze, speechless, frozen, and utterly shocked. I swallowed. “Did you … did you just make a Harry Potter reference?” He must have noticed me touching the books. “I did,” he said dryly, and I had to stifle laughter. "
3 " Trust. Tenderness. And so many more emotions I didn’t understand. I’d never truly resented my incapability to feel, but in this moment I did. "
4 " Why did you act so late?” Fabiano asked with a frown.“I was startled, and to be honest … Nino scares me,” she said indignantly.“Then let’s hope your assailant announces his attack ahead of time and doesn’t scare you,” Remo muttered. "
5 " It was a perfect sound, more perfect than any melody Kiara had ever created on her piano and she had created some of the most beautiful melodies I’d ever heard. "
6 " You have Remo’s name tattooed on your arm.” Nino regarded me without a flicker of emotion. “I have Savio’s and Adamo’s name tattooed on my other arm. "
7 " Your nights are safe. You are safe now, Kiara. Even in the dark, there’s nothing you have to fear, no one, because I am there and they will have to go through me. And no one ever has won against me. I am the most dangerous thing in the dark, but you don’t have to fear me. "
8 " You are a Falcone now. My brother’s wife. You fall under my rule. That makes you mine to protect. "
9 " My brothers and I are blood, but we also decided to be more, to be a unit. We are blood and chosen family. And we protect family.” His expression was more animated than I’d ever seen it, and I wondered if he realized it … if he really was as emotionless as he claimed to be. “If you choose to be a Falcone, if you choose to be our family, if you choose to be mine not just on paper and because it is your duty, then we will protect you. "
10 " No need for that, please. Just give me a Coke. It’s too early for wine.” “If you ask me, every hour of the day is wine o’clock, "
11 " Remo sauntered in our direction, completely naked except for black briefs. “I’m not armed as you can see.” My brother was even barefoot. "
12 " I love you,” she whispered, and we both stiffened at the same time. Her breathing hitched against my throat. Love? "
13 " I love you. For real. No simulated affection or love ever again, because with you, I don’t need to simulate. You dragged that dead part of me out of the past and revived it. I didn’t die fifteen years ago, but I didn’t live either … until you.” She held even tighter on to me. “I love you, Nino. A part of me died six years ago, but you helped me live again. "
14 " Remo’s mouth pulled into a smile. “I have seen hyenas with less unsettling smiles,” Fabiano muttered "
15 " I stared. “You think I’m beautiful?” “To think it would suggest it’s born of my imagination, but your beauty is fact. "
16 " Voicing your opinion doesn’t provoke me, Kiara... I won’t feel attacked if you stand up to me. I’m aware of my status and power and don’t need your submission or flattery. "
17 " Don’t you understand? I’m a woman. I’m guilty by default. It’s always like that. They will say I asked for it. A smile means I’m flirting. A nice word means I’m asking for it. Revealing clothes mean I’m inviting touch. That is fact, Nino. "
18 " We’re being serious,” I said because Remo’s expression worried me. I could tell that Matteo was starting to seriously piss him off. "
19 " I’m not a genius like you, but I’m no imbecile either. Don’t worry, I know when to shut up. "
20 " Everyone has scars. Some are skin deep, others reach beyond that.” “Soul deep,” she whispered. "
