“I could always give you a teaser. You bookish people love teasers, don't you?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Onyx

“I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but mine.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

“Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

“Why waste my anger on you when the fault is mine? I should have anticipated another betrayal from you, one more mad grasp at some kind of childish ideal. But I seem to be a victim of my own wishes where you are concerned.鈥� His expression hardened. 鈥淲hat have you come here for, Alina?鈥�

I answered him honestly. 鈥淚 wanted to see you.鈥�

I caught the briefest glimpse of surprise before his face shuttered again. 鈥淭here are two thrones on that dais. You could see me any time you liked.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

“Crossing the room, he stopped infront of me. "I'm not going to bite."
"That's good."
"Unless you want me to," He said with a devilish grin.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Onyx

― Veronica Rossi, Under the Never Sky

“My God", he whispered. What have I done to her? He thought, humbled. The spell was broken, but it wasn't sealed, and her soul was bare to him, the scars of her tragic past and her triumphs over pain and her aching need to find her place. He just wanted to hold her to him and tell her it would be okay, that she had survived and was beautiful.”
― Kim Harrison, A Perfect Blood

“A flirtatious soul misses the point of intimate trust relations.”
― T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph over Death and Conscious Encounters With the Divine Presence

“She shocks the hell out of me when she asks, "Did you get engaged, Jade? She looks at me seriously. It's really hard for me not to just laugh hysterically in her face, but I refrain from doing so because I'm a good friend, and I realize that she's in distress. But her next question very nearly blows me away.”
― Jillian Dodd, That Boy

“She was evil. Couldn't he, who killed demons with his own hands, realize that? And now I had to run for Mardi Gras Queen because of him. Or her. I didn't know whose fault it was but there was no way I could back down now.”
― Jenna-Lynne Duncan, Aftermath

“I take the tiniest of steps back and reach out to place my hand in his. When I do, it鈥檚 exactly as I thought 鈥� electrifying. Game face, Veronica, game face. I smile as if he has no effect on me at all. I know this works when I am doing my job. I don鈥檛 know if it will work for him, but here it goes. 鈥淰eronica Johnson,鈥� I confidently reply.

He just stands there for a moment grinning. It鈥檚 as if he鈥檚 happy that I seem unphased by him. I am definitely not used to the reaction he is giving me. Joe鈥檚 reaction, now that was the typical reaction. But, this? What the hell is this?”
― J.B. McGee, Conspiring

“I am not light nor the absence of it. I am the broad spectrum. Everything that makes you think, want to touch, or taste. Don't box me into that life that you so desperately need to be black and white because that's not me; I won't fit. I am bold, brilliant, and beautiful, I will sparkle and shimmer every hue. Ever changing. Undefinable. So do not give me limits or make me try to fit. There is no containing subtle softness careening into the harsh and dominant, every faucet creating a reaction which will cause you to feel and know you are alive." - Kendal Waller”

“I am going to untie your feet first,鈥� Dimitri told the girl, 鈥渂ut if you try to run, I will kill you.鈥�
鈥淒o you have a gun?鈥� she asked, trying to sit up as far as her bonds would let her.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 need a gun to kill you, my pet,鈥� Dimitri said and laughed, a low, rich sound. 鈥淚 can do it with my hands if need be. But there won鈥檛 be any need if you behave yourself, do you understand?鈥�

She nodded her head and emitted a small whimper.

鈥淪ay yes or no so we鈥檙e on the same page,鈥� he said again.

鈥淵es, I understand,鈥� she whispered.

He grabbed her throat and squeezed until she coughed and whined at the pain. 鈥淚 told you to say yes or no. There is no reason to get fancy, do you understand?鈥�

He released her and let her take a few deep breaths before she replied, 鈥淵es.鈥� in a broken voice.”
― Jaden Wilkes, The Beast

“Mom was silent for a moment. 鈥淚鈥檓 sorry, Melissa, but can you blame me for worrying? In less than an hour I found out you鈥檙e being stalked by a killer, sleeping with a stranger, and hiding with him in an empty apartment. You have to admit that sounds鈥nsettling.”
― Robin DeJarnett, Whirlwind

“What really goes on behind the scenes at the Romance Book Club?”

― M.S. Watson, Frost

“I was scooped up against his chest, my legs dangling from the ground as though I was a child. 鈥淒o you ever wear clothes, doll?鈥�

I shrugged. 鈥淪iret always makes them so tight that it鈥檚 much more comfortable this way.鈥�

鈥淐lever Siret.鈥� I heard him murmur, but before I could say anything else, he did his flashing thing and everything went dark.”
― Jaymin Eve, Seduction

“So I鈥檓 there, surrounded by all these young and old girls who are obviously in season and I don鈥檛 know what to do.鈥�
The trained psychologist cleared his throat, his brows raised.
鈥淕irls鈥� in season?鈥� he questioned dubiously.
鈥淵eah鈥� and they鈥檙e all backing up to me and I just know that if I let them fall pregnant the boss鈥檒l kill me, but I鈥檓 stuck.鈥�
鈥淯mm鈥� what exactly are we talking about?鈥�
鈥淢y dream: me holding the teaser and all the clients鈥� expensive mares-鈥�
鈥淥h! So these are horses. Tell me, what鈥檚 a teaser?”

“I observed the sky darken gradually, slowly, from light blue to pitch black with only one constant factor 鈥搕he clouds. The road to Cairo wasn鈥檛 considered long 鈥揳round two and a half hours鈥攂ut it didn鈥檛 seem like that since I was longing to get as far as ever possible from the place where danger was present.

If it was only my life that was at stake, I wouldn鈥檛 have thrown much of a fit about the whole deal. But even if I had chosen to be some sort of a suicidal psych, I couldn鈥檛 put another soul into the equation. It wasn鈥檛 her fault I had failed her and was probably the reason we were in the situation we were in. Trying to fix what I had done by giving up to the danger we were surrounded by was yet another way to fail her, myself and most importantly, our parents.

One day, I, Damien Theophilus the Second, would avenge my family鈥檚 murder. And I couldn鈥檛 care less about the how鈥檚 or the when鈥檚; all I could care about was the final result.

This was more personal than a mere attack on our kingdom.”
― Mariam Maarouf, Rosie

“As she felt his fangs against her neck, she was in another world.

There was screaming. A woman was somewhere in agony. Everything was black, and the tormented scream was overwhelming, echoing through the emptiness. After the screaming subsided, there was panting, loud and steady, and it wasn鈥檛 as dark anymore. There was a room visible now, in a reddish light. A pale man with black hair hovered over a woman dressed in white. She lay on a bed, looking disheveled and sweaty. Her brown-black hair clung to her wet forehead and shoulders. She was covered in blood. The man sat next to her, and held her close to him. He stroked her hair as her chest heaved desperately.
鈥淚 love you, my dearest Katerina,鈥� he said, cradling her in his strong arms. 鈥淪oon, we鈥檒l be together forever.鈥� Everything faded to black once more, and the woman stopped breathing. All was silent and still.”
― Dawn Bonney-Heath, Crimson

“Lara's gaze met his. His dark eyes gleamed with amusement. Her breath caught as she accidentally touched the hard surface of his midriff, his heat filtering through the thin linen shirt. She snatched her hand back at once. "Excuse me, I-"
"No." He caught her wrist swiftly, enclosing it in a gentle grip.
They stared at each other, frozen in a quiet tableau. Hunter exerted only a light tension on her wrist. It would be so easy for him to pull her forward, bring her tumbling into his lap, but he held still. It seemed as if he were waiting for something, his expression arrested, his chest rising and falling in a rhythm much faster than normal. Lara sensed that if she took one step toward him, he would pull her into his arms... Her nerves clamored with excited alarm at the prospect. She looked at his mouth, remembered the warmth and taste of him... Yes, she wanted him to kiss her... but before she could move her leaden feet, Hunter released her with a crooked smile.”
