“He ran his finger along my jawline and down my neck. "The wait will be fun, but it's not going to be easy.”

“I have to warn you that my bedroom isn't the best place to stage an assault on me. It's where I'm at my weakest, with my bed a mere twenty feet away.”
― Amy Plum, Die for Me

“Ah, Evie,â€� she heard him say softly, “I must have a heart, after all…because right now it aches like the devil.â€�

“Only your heart?� she asked ingenuously, making him laugh.

He lowered her to the bed, his eyes sparkling wickedly. “Also a few other things,â€� he conceded. “And as my wife, it’s your duty to ease all my aches.”

“I had no desire to hear another woman tell my boyfriend how hot he was. If I wanted him to know, I'd damn well tell him myself. ”
― Rachel Vincent, Rogue

“Kate, I admit that we aren’t in the easiest of situations. But are you always this . . . complicated?â€�
I opened my mouth to say something, but Vincent shook his head, grinning. “Actually, don’t answer that. Of course you are. I wouldn’t be so totally into you if you weren’t.”
― Amy Plum, Until I Die

“Walking around nude in front of humans was not a good way to keep a low profile with the community. It was an excellent way to make new friends, though.”
― Rachel Vincent , Rogue

“Still in one piece?â€� Vincent teased, pulling me close & planting a soft kiss on my lips. “After dirty-dancing with Jules, I’m not sure.”

“The day I stop seeing you as one of the strongest people I know is the day I wake up human.”

“Kate: “Oh, please, Vincent. We’re in the middle of a major tourist site. Père Lachaise cemetary is practically Disneyland for the Dead. It’s not some Buffy soundstage with vampires rising out of the ground every time someone turns around.”
― Amy Plum, Until I Die

“Natural talent!" crowed Vincent, sweeping my sweaty self up into his arms and pacing across the room, holding me like a trophy. "Of course my girlfriend's got it. In truckloads! How else could she have slain a giant evil zombie, single-handedly saving my undead body?”
― Amy Plum, Until I Die

“You know, honey, Natalie's expecting her second."
I arched my eyebrows at my mother, not following the change of subject. "Second what? Mortgage? Conviction? Chance at life?"
"Baby of course. Her second baby. The doctor says this one's a girl."
I laughed, genuinely amused that my mother thought it should have been so obvious. "Yeah. Well, I bet Natalie can't drop a Stray with a Powerhouse Right Hook. ”

“Careful, Abbey," Caspian warned. "Don't get too close."
"He killed her, Caspian! He was the reason she was at the bridge that night."
"I know but--"
Vincent suddenly turned to face Caspian. "Could you just shut up? All this back and forht is really confusing. I'll get to you in a minute."
Caspian's jaw dropped.
So did mine.
"You can see him?" I asked. "Who are you?"
"Not who," Vincent said, a tone of sheer entitlement in his voice. "What.”

“My life is better with you in it.”

“The desire to succeed had left Vincent. He worked because he had to, because it kept him from suffering too much mentally, because it distracted his mind. He could do without a wife, a home, and children; he could do without love and friendship and health; he could do without security, comfort, and food; he could even do without God. But he could not do without something which was greater than himself, which was his life—the power and ability to create.”
― Irving Stone, Lust for Life

“Let me be frank even though I'm Vincent and prefer to be called V.”

“He nodded. “That would work. It’s a date. So . . . I’m meeting the grandparents? What should I wear?â€� he teased me. “As long as you’re not wearing a body bag, I should think you’ll do just fine,â€� I laughed, turning back to his collection of portraits.”

“Es bueno amar tanto como se pueda, porque ahí radica la verdadera fuerza. Y el que mucho ama realiza grandes cosas y se siente capaz, y lo que hace por amor está bien hecho”

“My pulse sped up as I opened our front door and stood in the hallway waiting for him. He was up the three flights of stairs in no time, carrying a huge bouquet of flowers in one hand and a bag in the other. “These are for your Mamie,â€� he said, leaning over to give me a quick, soft kiss on the lips. The pounding of my heart went into overdrive. Vincent lifted his eyebrows suggestively. “Are you going to ask me in, or were you testing to see if I could cross your threshold without the invitation?â€� Then he whispered , “I’m a revenant , not a vampire, chérie.”

“You cannot accomplish anything in this world without power,' he said. 'And power requires sacrifice, focus, and ruthlessness.”

“I can't take credit for everything that you've become, Oraya. Even if sometimes I wish I could. But if I'm responsible for just one small piece of that, it will have been the greatest accomplishment of my life.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night

“VIncent believed that you always had a choice, and if you found yourself in a position where you didn't, you'd made a very poor one earlier that put you there. EIther way, you had no one to blame but yourself.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night

“They had not been lied to. The men were gentle; when one leaned, moved, spoke, the other mirrored. She sensed it in the energy between them, their calm failure to react on any visceral level to her smile, the swell of her breasts, the curve of her lips-or to the more youthful charms of her security detail. She knew it as surely as she would have known fear or hunger. Not only were they gentle, they were together.”
― Elizabeth Bear, Carnival

“She wondered how old they were, with their strange smooth faces and silken skin, and the muscled hands that didn’t match their educated voices.”
― Elizabeth Bear, Carnival

“All right, they were cute. But she couldn’t afford to start thinking of them as human.”
― Elizabeth Bear, Carnival

“I just thought, I don't know, that you wouldn't want it from me? I'm kind of pathetic, as vampires go. I don't make for a dramatic, mysterious predator. I'm like the grimy sewer variety of a vampire that you shoo off your lawn with a broom.”
― D.N. Bryn, How to Bite Your Neighbor and Win a Wager

“The others will underestimate you,' he went on. 'Use that. It's a powerful weapon.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Serpent and the Wings of Night

“Good. You are not safe. Not in this castle. Not in this room. You are prey in a world of predators.'

He leaned closer.

'I will never hurt you,' he said softly. 'But I am the only one who will make that promise, and keep it. I will never give you false safety or kind lies. But I will teach you how to wield those teeth of yours.' He smiled, revealing for the first time the full length of his sharp canines- the death blow, surely, of hundreds.

The girl should have found the sight terrifying. And yet, for the first time in a month, she felt... safe.

'Perhaps they are not as sharp as mine,' he went on, 'but they can still kill, with the right bite.”

“Never be ashamed of exceeding expectations,' he said. 'Even mine.”
