Don't you know that, with women, you're supposed to make conversation?" she added; her half smile was perhaps meant to be ironic, though to Amedeo, who at that moment would have paid anything rather than give up his novel, it seemed downright threatening.”

“I grab his hand as he moves to stand. 'Stay.'

'I shouldn't.' Two lines appear between his brows as he searches my eyes. 'People will talk.'

'When did I ever give you the impression that I give a fuck what people think?' I use his earlier words against him and sit up, curling my hand around the section of his neck that bears the relic. 'Stay with me, Xaden. don't make me beg.'

'We both know this is a bad idea.'

'Then it's out bad idea.'

His shoulders dip, and I know I've won. He's mine for the night.”

“In the cinema and games that formed the basis of Prax's understanding of how people of violence interacted, the cocking of a gun was less a threat than a kind of punctuation mark. A security agent questioning someone might begin with threats and slaps, but when he cocked his gun, that meant it was time to take him seriously. It wasn't something Prax had considered any more carefully than which urinal to use when he wasn't the only one in the men's room or how to step on and off the transport tube. It was the untaught etiquette of received wisdom. You yelled, you threatened, you cocked your gun, and then people talked.”
James S.A. Corey, Caliban’s War

“And now I want to kiss you, but I can't because you're on your own horse.' The corners of his lips turned down. 'This was a bad idea.'

I laughed.

'A really bad idea.”
