“A spa?"
"Yeah, Avalon Spa, you know the place near the mall?"
"Oh, right. What do you do there?"
Again, the nervous glance at the floor, and the small flush of color rising up his neck. "I'm a masseur. Which I know sounds phony as hell, but I'm licensed and everything. Also, my clients are women- the only men at Avalon are the ones on staff. And while I've got nothing against women at all- I'd have no friends in high school if it weren't for women- I find them as sexually attractive as roadkill possum."
Roan had to swallow back a laugh. "Don't tell them that."
"Oh, God no! I'd never get any tips then.”

“Roan tried not to stare, but the guard’s head was almost perfectly egg shaped. He wanted to ask him if he’d ever had a hen sit on him by mistake.”

“It’s an expensive place. The cheapest salad is twenty-five dollars.â€�

“I hope that comes with extra croutons and a hand job.”

“That was the problem with caring. It left you vulnerable, open on one side to the most hideous pain imaginable, and the only antidote was to stop giving a shit, but how did you do that? How did you turn it all off?”
― Andrea Speed, Shift

“Humanity was awful; humanity made you hurt. Humanity was a weakness that would kill everyone, one way or another.”

“God, he was so beautiful. It was the tragic kind of beauty too, the kind you knew was doomed from the start. A face that launched a thousand ships and dug a million graves.”

“Yeah, that would be awesome. Me loaded and trying very hard not to make a scene, while the
guy who had one gay slip with me and his wife are not five feet away, also trying not to be awkward.
That’ll be so much fun. I just might hang myself with a rope made of braided napkins.�
“Aww. Nice touch with the braid. Very gay,� Dylan told him, patting him on the back.
Roan looked at him with a frown. “No one likes a sarcastic bastard, Dyl.�
“Well, I do.� He paused briefly. “Obviously.�
Ouch.”

“After finding "God hates fags" written in Magic Marker on his locker Roan had cleaned it off and then wrote, also in Magic Marker, "I hate your God”

“MRI machines sucked. They really, honestly sucked. You lay motionless inside a cramped metal tube that made you feel like a torpedo waiting for launch, and weird noises went off around you as you fought off claustrophobia you’d never had before for an hour that seemed to last approximately one thousand years.”

“Paris came down the stairs looking incredible. He‘d gone with the simple classic look of the tight white T-shirt,
the low-slung jeans that showed off a glimpse of his flat belly, and a black leather jacket. His hair was perfectly mussed, a
calculated look that seemed natural and sexy. At the bottom of the staircase, he turned around slowly, holding his arms out
to his sides. "Well, how do I look?"

Damn. "Like I want to rip your clothes off right this second. You‘re gonna kill that kid. He‘s going to explode, and they‘re going
to have to scrape his remains off the wall."

"Yeesh, I was with you until you got descriptive."

"Can‘t help it. You make me poetic."

"I thought I made you horny."

"Same damn thing.”
― Andrea Speed, Bloodlines

“Paris rubbed his forehead against his, running his hands through Roan‘s hair, and said, 'How about we come back here
and exchange notes once we‘re done with the interviews? Take a long lunch.'

'Only exchange notes?'

'No one said we can‘t exchange notes in bed.”
― Andrea Speed, Bloodlines

“Roan rested his forehead against his and put a hand on his chest. Sweet man, one he didn’t
deserve. “I’m sorry.�
“For what?�
“The insanity that is my life. Me.�
“Hey, I signed up for this ride. I knew from past experience that sexy men were always trouble,
and it wasn’t like your reputation didn’t precede you. I have no one to blame but myself.�
“You think I’m sexy?�
“Don’t fish for compliments.”
― Andrea Speed, Lesser Evils

“How did I know you were going to show up?â€�
“Because you’re psychic now?�
Dylan raised an eyebrow at that. “If I was actually psychic, sweetheart, I probably wouldn’t have
gotten involved with you.�
“Oh, ow,â€� he said, grabbing his chest. “I think you just made my heart hurt.”

“He needed to wear that bell around his neck and randomly intone, “Unclean,â€� to warn people.”

“Something in him just lived to be contrary. If he couldn’t have their respect, he’d accept their hate.”

“After what Holden and Kevin had told him, and what he could find himself, he just wanted to sit this guy down, talk calmly and rationally, and then beat him so bad his grandkids would be born dizzy and bleeding from the eyeballs.”

“Did you kiss me?â€�

“What? Why would you think that?� His smirking face seemed to give nothing away.

“You bastard! Who cops a feel on an unconscious man?�

“Not me. I like my feelees conscious.”
