1 " Mai had an unholy obsession with eighties fantasy movies. Labyrinth was her favorite. She was madly in lust with David Bowie’s character, Jareth the Goblin King, who was famous for his tight tights, smoldering stares and a very, ahem, generous codpiece. "

4 " Faerie was divided into seasons that mirrored the mortal realm, except all four seasons coexisted here. This world wasn’t spherical like Earth. Faerie was more of a geographic map, and it was possible to fall off the edges. Though it was more likely you would be eaten before that happened. "

9 " I straightened from the fire, mourning the loss of its heat. “I’m not accepting your gift.” “What gift? Do you mean those clothes you found discarded on my property? Those aren’t mine. Not my size.” He canted his head. “It’s your choice. Use them or not.” “You are…” I rolled a few choice words around my head before settling on, “…sneaky.” A tight smile stretched his lips. “I have been called worse.” I just bet he had. "

11 " I shrugged off his compliment, even as it warmed me. “How did you find me?” “I heard your call.” He sniffed. “Did I not say I would always come when summoned?” “Not a sentiment I would expect to hear from a cat,” I teased. "

12 " As my focus traveled down his torso, my gaze got hung up on his hipbones, on how low his pants hung, and the fact not a hint of elastic rode above the line of his faded jeans. Boxers? Briefs? Commando? Never had I been more invested in a man’s choice of underwear. "

14 " Raven could destroy me. He could twist any one of the missteps I had made around him until he owned me. That he hadn’t yet didn’t mean he wouldn’t ever. It just meant I was of more use to him running on my own steam, making fresh mistakes to compound the old ones than under his auspices. "

16 " thumped my foot and hissed out an odd squeal. A sigh filled my ears. Faint shuffling as the púca edged nearer. “You’re doing it wrong.” The voice gentled. “You can’t speak in this form. No one can. You’re going to have to give your skin a voice. Go on. Think it. Let magic speak for you. It’s the only way.” Pick a voice? Think it? Crazy as it sounded, what did I have to lose? I focused the same as I did when willing magic into my palm, only this time I envisioned the memory of how my voice sounded to me. I would die before admitting it out loud, but I visualized it as a thought bubble forming over my head. “I’m Macsen "

17 " Eyes are windows to the soul.” His voice rang with profound meaning I couldn’t grasp. Deep-chested baying alerted us to the approaching pack. Sweat trickled between my shoulder blades. “Curtains are half off at JCPenney,” I snapped. “What’s your point? "
