Quotes from Drop Dead Demons

“Mom, this isn’t what it looks like.”
Mom put her hand on her hip. “It looks like a group of boys wrestling on the floor of your bedroom while you watch. Wearing a towel.”
“Okay,” I admitted, “it is what it looks like, but it’s not—”
“Sexual?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Mom!”
Luna stuck her head under Mom’s arm and sucked in a breath. “She’s gone from a love triangle to a kinky sex pentagon.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Rose stood in the last faint beams of sunset.
“Whoa!”
“Is he wearing a leather cat suit?”
“Holy Mother!"
“Dude!”
The guys all quickly averted their eyes and raised their hands to further block any chance of catching a view. Anything to not see Rose in his painted-on leather one-piece that left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
“Stunning, right?” Rose spread his palms as far as the cuffs would allow.
“Oh, I’m stunned.” Ayden looked ill.
Rose looked down at himself with admiration. “Not many males can pull off this look.”
“No male can pull off that look.”
"Actually, his finely sculptured physique would be considered the perfect complement for this type of anatomically revealing attire which accentuates his—”
“Bloody hell, Jayden, shut it!”
“Dude, this is so not right.”
“I feel like it’s looking at me.”
“Feel like what’s looking at—? Oh. Oh! Ugh, now I feel like it’s looking at me too.”
“How can it be looking at both of us?” “Are you serious?”
“I’m gonna be sick.”
“Someone please gouge out my eyes.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Oh, my God! Why are you in a towel?” Ayden sprang forward and ripped off his leather jacket. He led us both in an awkward sidestep to my closet. “Take your time. Get clothes on. Lots of them.”
He shoved me inside and closed the door. In the pitch, dark I reached for the light switch, but the door opened again. “Sorry.” Ayden’s hand slid in, groping for the switch, found it, and flipped it on. “Don’t come out until… lots and lots of clothes.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“I require your assistance,” a male voice whispered.
My mouth fell open.
“Ahhgaluhg!” I gagged — near drowned — on a slew of water and lost my balance. The pink shower curtain proved no leverage whatsoever, and I ripped it down with me, rod and all, slopping into the tub with a splash, irritated squeal, and shuddering thud.
“Jay—!” I stifled a scream and hissed the second syllable through clenched teeth, “—den!”
“Have you sustained injury?” Jayden’s face hovered over the tub.
“Not until you showed up!”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Taking awfully long to deliver a package!” Dad said.
“Because you make him nervous!” I motioned for him to go inside.
“That should make him faster,” Dad pointed out. “What is it anyway?”
“Uh.”
Rose whispered, “Tell him it’s the Kama Sutra book you ordered.”
I yelled over my shoulder, “It’s the Kama Su—” I turned to Rose. “Wait. Isn’t that the—”
“Ancient text of sexual pleasure?” he nodded. “Yes. Quite riveting. I’d be happy demonstrate. My skills are legendary.”
“Oh, thanks very much.”
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
“No!”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“You know, maybe I meant more that you
seemed...uninterested. In, ah, in ahhh,” I moved my palm in circles in the air in front of me.
He lifted one brow. “Uninterested in your…chest?”
“What?” I realized my hand had been circling right over my boobs. Nice move, Aurora. I rolled my eyes. “No! Not…that!”
“Good.” His dark eyes glittered with amusement. “Because I can assure you I find your chest very interesting. At times, downright mesmerizing.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Aurora,” Mom sharpened her
tone, “I thought you were having
dinner. Why are you in the parking
lot?”
A new voice on the phone
snorted, “Parking, obviously... Sorry. This pregnancy is
frying my motherboard. And
speaking of babies—”
Here it comes.
“—that’s what parking with your
boyfriend leads to, Aurora. Save
yourself the agony. My bladder will
never be the same.”
“I’m not parking with my
boyfriend!” I screeched.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Murder might do wonders to relieve my stress.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Mrs. Grant glanced at her
husband. “She’s always so fidgety.
Like a canary.” She narrowed her
eyes at me. “I hate canaries.”
I squeaked again. But not like a
canary. I hoped.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“I know what I’m doing.” “Nothing good ever comes after that statement.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“I looked down at my chest, figuring there had to be a bullet hole. Or an arrow sticking out. Something to explain the pain. But then I realized it was just my heart. Breaking.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Aurora,” Mom sharpened her tone, “I thought you were having dinner. Why are you in the parking lot?”
A new voice on the phone snorted, “Parking, obviously... Sorry. This pregnancy is frying my motherboard. And speaking of babies—”
Here it comes.
“—that’s what parking with your boyfriend leads to, Aurora. Save yourself the agony. My bladder will never be the same.
“I’m not parking with my boyfriend!” I screeched.”

― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“The front door slammed and Dad said, “Aurora, sure you aren’t expecting a package?”
I leaned back to find him army-crawling under the window in the living room. Like all dads do. “Already told you no, Rambo.”
“The new mailman is back.” Dad reached up and pulled the curtains closed before standing up and peeking out. “Won’t come to the door.”
“M shot a tranquillizer dart at the last guy.” Mom gave a tired look at M who shrugged unapologetically. “The fact that there’s a new one willing to be on our sidewalk is a miracle. Don’t scare him off, Clyde.”
Dad tried to block me when I went for the curtains. “He won’t let me sign for your package. Demanded you come out in person.”
“I’ll get my tranq gun!” M made for her room.
“Don’t you dare!” Mom chased her.
I swished back the curtains to get a look at the petrifying postman.
“I find his interest in my teenage daughter creepy,” Dad grumbled.
Oh, he had no idea.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Nothing good ever comes after that statement.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“The drenched fabric clung to every sculptured line of Ayden’s torso and revealed in detail how his muscles flexed to hold the weight. It was glorious. If you were into that sort of thing. And based how my breath caught at the sight, I was.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“You’re right,” Ayden said. “Course I am.” Blake folded his arms. “About what?”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“I’ve got a plan!” “Not interested.” Both whips wrapped around a demon’s neck and the head popped off. “It puts me in mortal danger.”  Matthias’s eyes slid my way. “I’m listening.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“There was a scream. From Logan. He stood just inside my open window. At the sight of me — and after the scream — he spun around and tried to duck out. In his panic, he miscalculated and slammed his forehead into the edge of the frame. The impact reeled him back. He stumbled and landed on his backside, holding his hand to his head, moaning.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Before I could retrieve the bullet off the floor, Helsing jumped down, grabbed it in his mouth, and raced to tuck it under the purple pillow in his bed, where he also kept Gloria’s feathers. Then he crouched, glowering, as if daring any of us to take it away. Great. My cat was a hoarder.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“Yeah, I do. Matthias is right.” Wow. That tasted like battery acid, mixed with jalapeno cyanide and shoved down my throat with a spiked spoon.”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“I scrambled for cover. Saw my backpack on the ground. Had a hand on it. Was going to use it to block the attack—because nylon was so robust against steel—”
― A.E. Kirk, quote from Drop Dead Demons

“There is something in man that loves a wall, but what wall menders and fence builders do not get is that when they fence something out, they are also fencing themselves in. Not one but two prisons are made by one wall.”
― quote from Holy Cow

“I want to feel both the beauty and the pain of the age we are living in. I want to survive my life without becoming numb. I want to speak and comprehend word of wounding without having these words becomg the landscape where I dwell. I want to possess a light touch that can elevate darkness to the realm of stars.”
― Terry Tempest Williams, quote from When Women Were Birds: Fifty-Four Variations on Voice

“Rosy’s mummy hands Franny a clear plastic bag full of reject biscuits, then Rosy holds her cheek out for Franny’s wet kiss. Rosy wipes the slime from her face and Franny cackles, then shows them both into the lounge.
There on Franny’s coffee table is a biscuit tin with a Christmas picture on the lid. Proper shop-bought biscuits, not factory rejects.
“Please, may I have a biscuit?” Rosy says.
“Oh, there are no biscuits in that my darling,” Franny says, and pulls the tin from Rosy’s prying fingers. Franny holds open the bag of crumb-speckled chocolate digestives. “Help yourself, my wee hen.”
Rosy settles for a reject.
Franny puts the Christmas tin up high, way up high, way out of reach.”
― R.G. Manse, quote from Screw Friendship

“Six days. The man had been gone six days, and that was all he had to say about it?”
― Charlie N. Holmberg, quote from The Paper Magician

“Then we were both lectured by our guruji. He told us clearly what was expected of us: never again to use a vehicle, to take food only once a day, not to use Western medicine, to abstain from emotion, never to hurt any living creature. He told us we must not react to attacks, must not beg, must not cry, must not complain, must not demand, must not feel superiority, must learn not to be disturbed by illusory things.”
― William Dalrymple, quote from Nine Lives
