“I may be a monster, but if you cut me, I'll bleed. And if you break my heart, Pae, you'll break me. So, if even a sliver of your soul longs for mine, I'll spend the rest of my life trying to deserve it.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“You don't regret it?"
She shakes her head, her smile sad, "No."
"Good," I murmur. "Because I've always had a thing for short hair."
"Oh, really?" She laughs as I sway us in a circle.
"It's true. Among other things, of course." I shrug a shoulder. "Short hair. Ocean-blue eyes. Twenty-eight freckles. And"- I pause, examining her with a tilt of my head-"how tall are you?"
She blinks in confusion. "Umm, about five and a half feet?"
"Five and a half feet," I continue evenly. "The terrifying ability to kick a man's ass. Stunning smile. Ridiculously stubborn. Hair like molten silver. Quick to threaten me with a dagger." I smile down at her. "Should I go on?”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“She is the torture I may not survive.
Eagerly, she is my undoing.
Her gaze lifts, meeting eyes that are not my own.
Eyes of the man who gets to have her-if she allows it.
She was supposed to be my forever.
Now I'll watch her become someone else's.
Because the beast doesn't get the beauty.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“Everything beautiful, everything bold, everything breathtaking- that is what I feel in her gaze. That, and terrified. Terrified of what she is doing to me. She is a vision, a nightmare, a dream. A grim reaper clad in black, come to steal my soul and my heart. I've never seen something so beautiful, so bold, so blatantly wrong for me. She is a devil. She is a deity. She is a man's downfall in human form. She is my downfall. Then her eyes drift to Kitt. The connection snaps. And I'm left feeling empty besides the jealousy growing inside me. Why did I ever think I could have ever, ever think she would have me? Because beasts don't get the beauty.”

“Do you always fall into the arms of handsome strangers or is this a new thing for you?"

"No, only the cocky ones.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“No, I'm sick of running. And I won't spend the rest of my life doing it unless it's you I'm running back to."
"Then I'll spend the rest of my life tracking you down," he says quietly. "Glimpsing you in shadows. Fighting you in the streets. Dancing with you in my dreams. Because living without you is only bearable when I know you are out there still living too.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“Tell me you hate me, and I'll still count every heartbeat, every freckle, every shiver of your body, if only you say it with a smile.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“I wanted to kill you," I whisper, forcing his eyes to open. "I wanted to be your undoing. But even then, I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I had."
He inches toward me, head shaking and eyes roaming as though overwhelmed by what he is seeing. "Oh, but you are my undoing. My deliverance. my downfall disguised as a deity." Another slow step. "You are my ruin.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“You asked me what my favorite color was once. I'd never even pondered the answer to that question before you. And yet, I realized in that moment that it was blue." He bends to brush a kiss to my temple, a murmur against my skin. "It is your eyes.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“Mark my words, Prince. I will be your undoing."

"Oh Darling, I look forward to it.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“You're not just a mission to me. You're not just another enemy for me to find. You're something even more terrifying."
Her voice is little more than a whisper. "And what is that?"
"A need."
We stare at each other, both surprised by the words that pushed their way past my lips. Sunlight is streaming through her hair, making her glow like something far too heavenly for me.
"I thought you had found your courage," she says softly.
I smile slightly. "Maybe I'm fine with being a fool. So long as it's for you.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“A forget-me-not, since you always seem to be forgetting who I am.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“She's bewildering as much as she is beguiling. That pretty mouth of hers says one thing, but those ocean eyes say another. She pulls a knife from my back only to say she'll bury another one there. She's confusing, captivating, and we're completely wrong for each other in all the right ways. She's a flame, and I'm going to get burned. An ocean and I'm going to drown.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“Walking on a sharp blade and hoping I don't get cut. Playing with fire and hoping I don't get burned. Swimming in a dangerous current and hoping I don't drown.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“You don't need a blade. I would bleed if only you asked.”
― Lauren Roberts, Fearless

“It's strange," he says quietly, his eyes scanning the crowded garden. "I haven't known her for long, and yet, I find myself wanting to know her for longer.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“And what was your title again? The Silver Saviour?"

"Fitting. I know how much you like silvers.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“Do you always fall into the arms of handsome strangers, or is this a new thing for you?”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“I will not fail.
The king's smile is bloody.
I will not falter.
Hysterical, mocking laughter follows.
I will not feel remorse.
"Weak. Just like your father-"
The sword I drive through his chest shuts him the hell up.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“Are poets not just fools with fancy words?”
― Lauren Roberts

“And then she smiles, bright and big like the night sky hanging above us. I fear she could rival the stars.”
― Lauren Roberts

“Oh? And what else are you when you鈥檙e around me, hmm?鈥� She has me swallowing, has me nervous. 鈥淚鈥檓 a fool.鈥� The smile she gives me is equally amused and alluring. 鈥淥nly when you鈥檙e around me?鈥� 鈥淥nly for you.”
― Lauren Roberts

“She is the torture I may not survive.
Eagerly, she is my undoing.

“I was lonely in a way that I imagine the stars to be, observed by everyone yet too far to truly be seen.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“I would spend the rest of my days making her flower crowns if she wanted to be a queen. My queen. Not Kitt's. Not Ilya's. Mine”
― Lauren Roberts, Fearless

“What do you want to call me?鈥� 鈥淚 want to call you mine.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“Oh, darling, as long as you still think I鈥檓 pretty, I don鈥檛 give a damn what I look like.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“Will you forever be the prize I am aimlessly trying to win" 鈥淚s that all I am to you? A trophy?" 鈥淥h, darling, a trophy implies that I won it, earned it, deserve it. But if i get to have you, it will be because you let me.”
