“The union of a dedicated Dom and a confident submissive is a harmonious marriage of souls. There is no other experience like it.”
“It is not a case of you being inferior when you bow at your Dom’s feet. The reality is your Dom only has the illusion of power. You are the one in control. You decide how far the scene will go. It is your gift to him or her.”
“he gazed down at her with a possessive smirk that melted her heart. “Mine.” “All yours, Sir.”
“but I think it is possible to be the perfect sub for one person… Maybe even more than one person. However, it’s impossible to be everything to everyone and still be true to yourself.”
“Brie leaned her torso fully against the stool, exposing her defenseless ass to him. A hairbrush sounded more cruel than fun.”
“Sold to Master Cox for five hundred dollars.”
“Fuck! You’re like a drug to me.” She whispered into the dark, “Consume me.” He rushed upon her then. Sir found her wrists in the dark and pulled them above her head. He held onto them with one hand while the other fumbled with his zipper, then guided his shaft into her. She cried out at the force of his entry. He covered her mouth to keep her quiet as he began thrusting hard,”
“Can you explain how a supposed novice employs advanced cunnilingus techniques?” She looked up at him and said simply, “I googled it, Sir.”
“Faelan grabbed the back of her head with one hand and her chin with the other. He kissed her, then, like she had never been kissed before. The possessiveness behind his embrace instantly made her wet and desperate for him.”
“Any reason you didn’t tell me Myst married a general in the Forbearer army, more specifically a vampire?”
“Lookit, I didn’t want to distract you from your job,” Regin said. “This Hie is your Big Thing. And I know when I first found out, I was seriously, fucking, shrieking, distracted. I mean, I knew you would never get freaked out—well, at least, you wouldn’t used to—but I thought it would be prudent to just hold off a few days. It was my idea, not Myst’s.”
“This connection might have been nice to know in certain situations, Regin. For instance, that vampire in Antarctica that you almost killed is now our brother-in-law!”

“The nauseating liquid choked the dog’s breathing and his head began to spin, then his legs collapsed and he seemed to be moving sideways. This is it, he thought dreamily as he collapsed on to the sharp slivers of glass. Goodbye, Moscow! I shan’t see Chichkin or the proletarians or Cracow sausages again. I’m going to the heaven for long-suffering dogs. You butchers – why did you have to do this to me? With that he finally collapsed on to his back and passed out.” Chapter 2”

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
