“He shrugged. “I do not assign duties.”
She nodded. “Oh.”
“Tiger does.”
Shit.
“Tiger is head of security.”
Double shit. She’d molested the damn head of security of the NSO at Reservation. Just bitchin’.”
“Her angel's pants were molded to a nice, beefy ass”
“You two are well matched. Both stubborn and irrational when it comes to each other.”
“Species tend to bite sometimes during the sharing of sex but we never break the skin. There are only two ways this usually happens. I had to bite you to assert my control if we fought for dominance during sex or because I wanted to mark you to show other males you belonged to me.” He blinked. “I am sorry. I lost control and I wanted to completely own you in that moment. I wanted all of you.”
“If I were ever interested in taking a mate, you would be her, Zandy. That’s what makes you dangerous because you make me consider it.”
“I could stay inside you forever.”
“I wouldn’t complain.”
“I could mount you until I die.”
“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” she admitted to him softly. “I may as well do what I want to most right now since I’m going to hell anyway, right?” His”
“The only things more pathetic than a moron are the ones who follow him.” She”
“It seemed that angels carried a cherry flavor in their mouths and it was her favorite.”
“You could say she was having difficulty breathing but I doubt they will believe that is CPR.” Her”
“I don’t need to own a super nose to feel addicted to you. My heart already is.” His”
“I can carry you. You won’t need to walk. It will give me an excuse to keep you flat on your back.” Damn.”
“I never thought I’d see the day when a little female would take you down. This is what they call priceless.” Anger”
“I never thought I’d see the day when a little female would take you down. This is what they call priceless.”
“He was magnificent—a god. Not a god, a small voice of consciousness stated. He’s got to be an angel.”
“She looks a little small though and would probably be frightened of us.” Tiger remembered her pulling his hair at the base of his neck to jerk his face down to meet her lips after she’d demanded he kiss her.”
“You are so beautiful right now. Your lips are swollen from my kisses and your eyes are such a pretty shade of green. They remind me of a beautiful meadow when I look into them.” She grinned. “You’re the beautiful one. Trust me. You’re the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. You’re like a living sculpture of the perfect man.” He grinned. “You mean an angel?”
“I love it. This is the best surprise ever, Tiger. No one has ever done something for me like this before.” She blinked back more tears. “Thank you.” His features smoothed out. “You are worth all the time I spent setting this up.” He carried her to the edge of the picnic spread and put her on her feet.”
“Amnesia may well be the highest sacrament in the great gray ritual of existence.”
“I pushed until I felt his [Donovan's] body grow still, the tendons in his neck relaxing. I pushed until I felt the mouth beneath the pillow droop, one last dull groan fading into silence. And I kept pushing, because I couldn't bear to pull the pillow away to see what I'd done.
"You're free," I said. I closed my eyes, saw Donovan as he had been. One last smile, then he faded.”
“Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears.
We are blessed.
Let them all go.
The sound of a bird flying low across the garden. Then nothing. Nothing. A cloud passes. Nothing again. Light falls through the window, falls onto me, into me.
Moments.
All gathering towards this one.”
“You can be in Downward Dog, hating every second of it. Or you can be in this pose, peaceful and nonreactive, breathing calmly. Either way, you’re in this pose. You decide the quality of your experience. Be the thermostat, not the temperature.”
“When did this story morph? When did it change from a tale of two to a tragedy of three?”
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.
