“Did you love Annie right away, Finnick?" I ask. "No." A long time passes before he adds, "She crept up on me.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“His blue-black hair fell over his face when he moved, like tiny arrows pointing to pronounced cheeckbones. "Starting to think you were going to bail on me." "Didn't know you were expecting me," she said in what she hoped was a casual voice. He gets sexier every day. "Not Expecting, but hoping. Always hoping”
― Melissa Marr, Wicked Lovely

“The faery was beautiful- stunning - the way a storm is when you wake up and see lightning streak across the sky. And probably just as dangerous.”
― Melissa Marr, Wicked Lovely

“What can I give you, Aislinn? Shall I weave flowers into your hair?"
He opened his hand, letting go of her hair. An iris blossom sat in the palm of his hand. "Shall I bring you necklaces of gold? Delicacies mortals can only dream of? I'll do all those things anyway. Don't waste your wish.”
― Melissa Marr, Wicked Lovely

“Grasping the staff, Donia pressed her mouth to Beira’s still body and inhaled. The rest of the Winter Queen’s cold flowed into her, rolling through her like an icy wave, churning until it suddenly stopped and lay quiet â€� a fathomless frozen pool surrounded by ice-laden trees and unmarred white fields.
The words came to her from the white world, sliding through her lips like a winter wind, "I am the Winter Queen. As those before me, I will carry the wind and ice."
And she was healed, stronger than she’d ever been.”
― Melissa Marr, Wicked Lovely

“I don't know why certain people shine for others. I don't know why you and not someone else.”
― Melissa Marr, Wicked Lovely

“If you touch me like that again, Evangeline,â€� he began in a husky tone, dropping to his seat once more, “in the space of a heartbeat, I will have you off this bike and onto the closest horizontal surface. And I woan be picky, no.”
― Kresley Cole, Poison Princess

“When you got captured, I didn't know..." He trailed off, had to chug whiskey before he could continue. "If it'd be like..."

"What?"

"Like it was with Clotile."

"Oh, Jackson, no. I was okay. I'm unharmed."

"Didn't know if I'd get there too late," he said with a shudder. Then he crossed over to me, until we stood toe-to-toe. "Evie, if you ever get taken from me again, you better know that I'll be coming for you." He cupped my face with a bloodstained hand. "So you stay the hell alive! You don't do like Clotile, you doan take that way out. You and me can get through anything, just give me a chance."--his voice broke lower "just give me a chance to get to you." He buried his face in my hair, inhaling deeply. "There is nothing that can happen to you that we can't get past."

...

"When you say we...?"

He pulled back, gazing down at me, his eyes blazing. "I'm goan to lay it all out there for you. Laugh in my face--I don't care. But I'm goan to get this off my chest."

"I won't laugh. I'm listening."

"Evie, I've wanted you from the first time I saw you. Even when I hated you, I wanted you." He raked his fingers through his hair. "I got it bad, me."

My heart felt like it'd stopped--so that I could hear him better.

"For as long as you've been looking down your nose at me, I've been craving you, an envie like I've never known."

"I don't look down at you! I'm too busy looking up to you."

...

"The corners of his lips curled for an instant before he grew serious again. "You asked me if I had that phone with your pictures, if I'd looked at it. Damn right, I did! I saw you playing with a dog at the beach, and doing a crazy-ass flip off a high dive, and making faces for the camera. I learned about you"- his voice grew hoarse -"and I wanted more of you. To see you every day." With a humourless laugh, he admitted, "After the Flash, I was constantly sourcing ways to charge a goddamned phone--that would never make a call."

I murmured, "I didn't know...I couldn't be sure."

"It's you for me, peekon.”
― Kresley Cole, Poison Princess

“Eves, on the scale from wholesome to whoresome, you're practically Amish.”
― Kresley Cole, Poison Princess

“Somebody want to explain to me why those soldiers were shooting each other?'
(...)'Inbreeding?”
― Kresley Cole, Poison Princess

“Damn, cher, you still smell like a blossom. Been so long since I've seen a flower that I'd nearly forgotten what they smelled like." He took a lock of my hair, rubbing it between his thumb and forefinger. "You're dressing up and using expensive perfume? Ole Jack senses a trap. Consider me snared.”
― Kresley Cole, Poison Princess

“W-we both know your life would be so much simpler without me! I am just a thorn in your paw."
He nodded easily. "And it reminds me of you - every move I make, I think of you."
My lips parted. Again I realized that he was the only thing in my life that made me feel sane, made me want to fight for a future.
"Evangeline, I've got to feel you with my every step." His shaking hand closed over my nape, squeezing. "Or I go a little crazy, me.”
― Kresley Cole, Poison Princess

“I’m sorry you want him,â€� Matthew began in a careful tone, as if he was trying very hard to say the exact right thing to me. “I feel your heart—it actually aches. I wish it didn’t, Evie. You cannot have him.â€�
I glared down at him. “Why would you say that?�
“You don’t want to be Arcana. But you are.� He gazed up at me with those soulful eyes. “Jack’s not.�
“So what are you, like, a card purist or something?”
― Kresley Cole, Poison Princess

“I groaned. "All the time. I thought I was going crazy."
"Duude," he said in agreement. "And before the Flash, all kinds of freaky shit was happening to me. I started speaking this wierd Language. And stuff started transforming- but only in front of me. I saw my cat walking on the ceiling, saw lava coming out of a faucet. The worst? I was doing this girl, and suddenly she looked like my gym teacher!”

“The little doll's got teeth, Cajun”

“I desired you before, but I never loved you until this life.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“Can’t help the way I was raised—anything supernatural is supposed to be either a miracle or satanic."

I rolled my eyes. “And you’re still trying to figure out which I am?�

"Non. I’m trying to figure out if I’m still Catholic.â€� He grinned that heart-stopping grin.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“Just because you're a gutless harlot doesn't mean I won't find your... attributes attractive. I might be immortal, but I'm still a red-blooded male."

"Harlot? Who talks like that? Father Time, meet the Flinstones.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“There was French kissing, and then there was Cajun French kissing. Spicier, harder, wilder.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“The first priest I find, I'm goan to marry you. I'm all in, peekon.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“I told you once and I'll tell you again: there's nothing that can happen to you that we can't get past. Just give me a chance to get to you. Promise me."

"Jack..."

"Promise me. You doan leave me again."

"I promise." Staring at his lips, I said, "Would you always come for me?"

He drunkenly murmured, "Chase you like a junkyard dog.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“You smell like honeysuckle. You likin' ole Jack now?"

"I never stopped liking you. Even when you were warding me away with the power of Catholicism.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“Accept this: your mortal is doomed."

"Please, Aric. I'm begging you!"

He whirled around, fury in his expression. "You refused - twice - to beg me for your own life, but you'd beg for his?"

I whispered, "Yes.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“Finn caught my gaze. "I know things seem rough with him right now, but he'll come around. He went nuts when you were missing."

"He has a temper." Which wasn't surprising, considering his tragic background.

"No, Evie. He was ... frantic, out of control. I'm talking Hulk-smash on ye olde cabin. When he realized our lack of transportation was the sole thing keeping him from you, he stormed back into that militia's camp, striding into a hail of bullets. Dude didn't duck, didn't sidestep, just rolled in, killed, took that jeep."

My lips parted as I stared at Jackson in amazement.
"He loves you," Finn insisted.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“This game is a hell we’ve all been damned into. It’s designed to madden us. The most intelligent Arcana ever to play is called the Fool. The one who least wanted to kill was named Death. And you, Empress, rule over nothing!”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“You wanna know what I’m feeling? Lemme tell you, bébé. Amusement. You’re acting like we got some kind of choice in this matter. You’re just as screwed as I am—because we’re both too far gone for the other.”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight

“Oh, God, my poison! I didn’t know you then! Had no idea what you would come to mean to me!”
― Kresley Cole, Endless Knight
