“I bought new lingerie today I wanted to show you, but I didn’t get a chance with all that happened.â€�
“You’ll have to return tomorrow night thenâ€�. Maybe we’ll order an entire catalog.â€� His smile and the glint of mischievousness in his eyes reflected lascivious thoughts. “You can model all the outfits you’d like for me.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Dark Velvet

“You must hate witches now.â€�
He pulled his gaze from her and stared back at the constellations. “I thought I did.�
He leaned toward her and took a lock of her hair, watching it as he ran it through his fingers. “Until I met you.”

“I think you should be punished for tormenting me for so long.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Dark Velvet

“A cross between two species. Doomed with the thirst of the undead for human blood, yet tormented by the gargoyle drive to protect them.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Dark Velvet

“She ceased to breathe. When he leaned forward and his lips fluttered against hers, her footing became unsteady and she stumbled. He placed a hand on her lower back to steady her and pulled her close. Her breasts met his hard torso and she became aware at how frantically her heart beat. She wrapped her arms around his neck and lost herself in the kiss as their lips met. They explored each other with a sort of fascination, mouth and tongues claiming each other in their hunger. Delicately at first, as if not sure this was real or just a fantasy, and then strong and unyielding. Demanding this moment to never end.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Dark Velvet

“Four gargoyle brothers came and went with their mates, which included a wolf shifter, a Pegasus shifter, a gargoyle, and Kayla (a tree witch). Only one remained unattached, the middle brother, Gavin. He swore it would always remain that way.”

“My heart has found a new place to call home. Wherever you are.”

“An older witch once told me about this French saying â€� vous tombez bien.â€�
“What does that mean?� Alec asked.
“You’ve fallen well.”

“So, what, are you going to be the village himbo, now?"
"Himbo?" Gavotte repeated, confused.
"What's himbo?”

“You wanted to see me?â€� she asked after shutting the door. She remained where she was, not daring to move any closer.
He turned his gaze from the fire crackling over the logs to face her. Those dark eyes scanned her from head to foot and when they reached her once again, they gleamed with unmistakable hunger.
“Take off your clothes,â€� he said calmly.”

“I think you should be punished for tormenting me for so long.â€�

“Don’t be afraid,� he said. “Art is full of agony and beauty. The pen itself a sword of pleasure and pain, isn’t it, my poet?�
---
“I’ve been waiting for you.� His voice sizzled with hunger.
How could I respond? I’ve been thinking about you non-stop like a sex-crazed harlot since I left?
“I’m here.�
---
“Remind me who you are,� he said in a gentler tone, almost a please. “How we know each other.�
“Okay,� she began. “I’m Savannah Evans, a grad student and teaching assistant who teaches English at a college in Cambridge. I applied to the colony to work on my poetry and arrived six weeks ago. “We’ve spoken many times. You’ve praised my work, which I find a great honor as I’m a fan of your art.�

― Shayla Orick

“You’re a Pegasus shifter?â€�
â€Àá²Ô»å±ð±ð»å.â€�
“I didn’t know they existed.� He shook his head. “Thought they were a myth.�
“Funny how a shifter believes another supernatural creature is a mere myth.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“We know the way of the gargoyle. You’re protectors. Even of humans â€� who might try to destroy you, should your secret be discovered.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“She was a myth brought to life, a beautiful legend.
Magnificent.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“How did I end up finding an overprotective gargoyle?”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“Do â€� do you â€� ah â€� think we should be doing this?â€�
Her mouth drew his attention. He moved one hand up to cup her cheek and then tipped her head back. She stared back at him, eyes half-closed and darkened with need. Placing his hand behind her neck, he whispered, “Aye.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“He could kiss. Amazing, toe-curling kisses.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“Arielle sat at a table in a dimly lit club with a witch, a wolf, and a gargoyle.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“Calum claimed her mouth in a searing kiss, drowning out everything else. He backed her against the wall on the side of the pub, and pinned her wrists up against the brick. All the raw intensity from their heated connection exploded, powering the kiss. So hot and passionate, she could barely breathe.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“Let me love you tonight.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Knights of Stone: Calum

“Hello,â€� he whispered. “It’s me.â€�
“Who?� Her gaze traveled to the window. Her eyes widened. “What are you doing here?�
Good question. “A proper cup of tea would be welcome.�
She blinked and jerked her head. “What?�
“Kidding.â€� He grinned. “I’m here to rescue you.”
― Lisa Carlisle, Stone Cursed: Zodiac Shifters: Taurus

“I’ve been torn with what’s right and what’s wrong,â€� he said. “Maybe I’m not the best one to judge. All I know is that I’ve wanted to do this for a while, and nothing has ever felt more right.â€�
He closed the distance between them, brushing his lips against hers.”

“Your god isn't here to help you," I replied when her eyes met mine. "But I am.”
― Sam Hall, Hearts of Stone

“You are so..." I sucked in a breath, not sure how he would end that sentence. "Beautiful. It's like touching a star. I'm sure it will burn me to dust, but I just can't stop myself.”
― Sam Hall, Hearts of Stone

“A man might stand for some time before an artwork of some brilliance, yes?”
― Sam Hall, Hearts of Stone

“Power that doesn't try to make the world better is worse than having no power.”
