“Please, you’re not listening.” I loosen my hold around Dane’s neck, and a snarl rips out of his mouth.

“Explain before your mate goes all fee-fi-fo-fum,” Valen drawls.

“Don’t compare me to that dumb motherfucker who thought legumes were a legit form of currency,” Dane snaps, turning from the door and glowering at Valen.

“Uh, teddy bear, that’s Jack. The giant is the one who says fee-fi-fo-fum.”

“There is no overtime, and I had to use the potion in the bathroom.” Valen’s cheeks begin to turn pink. Tisha hums. She already knows the story, but she’s not going to give up the details.

I round on Valen. “Did you get caught spanking the monkey?”

Dane snickers. “Valen squeezed his lemon at the airport?”

“I did not squeeze my lemon or spank a monkey.” He huffs and crosses his arms. “If you must know, I had an incident with a breakfast croissant.”

I pinch my eyebrows together. “You used your potion on someone who heard you take a crap?”

His eyes narrow. “It was a bad croissant.”

“I don’t think anyone’s ever shown Greer real love,” he says. “It may take some time to break down those walls, but when you do? I don’t think you’d find a more loyal wife.”

I crack open one eye and grin at him. “She just might have a shifter side piece.”

He laughs. “Maybe a fae too.”

“My web will keep me steady," he says before I can ask.

"With great power," I mumble, shifting in his arms. "Can you spidey web me so you don't have to hold me the whole way?”

― Rory Miles, Twilight Terrors

“What are you getting at?”

“You spied on me.”

Anakin sighs. “Can you blame him? You’re a wildcard.”

I glare at him. “This is an a and b conversation, c your way out of it.”

Beelzebub chuckles, sipping his tea while he watches us bicker.

“All I’m saying is, maybe he did order Betty to spy on you, but it was a smart move.”

Draven nods at Anakin. “Thanks, bro.”

“Is she trying to communicate?"

"Of course she is," I say and roll my eyes at Blanche. "Men, you'd think they'd never met a female capable of talking. Let me tell you something very important, Blanche. Most men won't understand you. Hang on to the ones who can."

"Are you talking about wraiths or about me and the guys?”

“If you stay in our pack, I’d prefer you stay with us. I will beg if I have to.” I lift an eyebrow. “Better?”

Her lips tip. “On your knees and everything?”

“You think I’m afraid of bruises?” I walk around the counter, preparing to drop down and beg. I’m not ashamed. Which is another red flag, but red seems to be my favorite color today.”

“The woman is a force of nature.”

Crash relaxes a bit but doesn’t move from where he’s positioned himself as a wall before me. “She sure as hell is, but she deals with enough from assholes like her coworker. Just because she’s a force of nature doesn’t mean she should have to put up with everyone’s shit.”

“Did you just feed off their sexual tension?" Micah asks with a laugh. "Keep it in your pants, Shera."

"Oh, come on. You're telling me you can't feel it? It's impossible not to feed off of that."

Anakin's mouth twitches. "Impossible?"

Narrowing my gaze, I say, "Fine, not impossible, but if they're not going to act on it, I should at least get a little snack out of it.”

“I won’t give them children though.”
― Rory Miles, Knot for Me

“On three," I say.

"One, two, three, go or one, two, three?" Anakin asks.

Micah huffs. "On go."

I begin counting, "One, two, three—"

Anakin steps away and Micah screeches, "Dude, we said on go!”

“Must you breathe so loud?” I glare at Valen over my shoulder. The corners of his mouth twitch. “I’d stop all together, but seeing as you’d be happy about my death, I’m breathing out of spite.” “British sarcasm is the worst.”
― Rory Miles, Shadow Slayer

“Nebraska. Seriously? What demon would choose to live in Nebraska of all places?"

"You've got to be kidding me," Micah mutters when he reads the address over my shoulder. "Don't they marry cousins there?"

Shaking my head, I say, "No, that's Kentucky. I don't know if they do anything in Nebraska.”

“Bah. They’ve never been good enough for you. Look at what they did to you. Stifled your magic because they didn’t know what it was. Tried to force you into a circle when you’re clearly a star.”
― Rory Miles, Twilight Terrors

“That’s the thing though, she’s so different it’s hard not to like her. She’s not a puppet. She’s full of resistance, and I want to be the reason she gives in.

I don’t want to force her though. No.

I want to be the reason she changes her mind. Not about the children part. I couldn’t give fuck all about kids. Only the mating part. I want her to choose us.”

“Taking a turn, he chances a glance in my direction. “Do you think I’m a horrible person now?”  “Bold of you to assume I didn’t already.” I keep my face serious for a few seconds, then sigh. “No, I don’t think you’re a bad person.”
― Rory Miles, Heat & Deceit

“You’re telling me a purple pecker is always a purple pecker? It doesn’t have other names?” Dane asks.

“Purple thunder,” Valen suggests.

“Purple pricks.” I bite my bottom lip to fight off a laugh.

“Purple dicks,” Dane says.

“Purple nurple.”

Rippley frowns. “Wait, that’s not right.”

“What the hell are you three doing?" I clutch my chest and try to calm my heart. I had asked for privacy.

"We felt your power flare." Oh, they felt me lust for Mother Faerie. Just great. Now I'll never hear the end of it. I couldn’t help myself, though, she’s so powerful.

"Tell me, how would Draven feel about you hooking up with his mommy?”

Honestly, can’t a woman rage in peace without the whole world smelling her fury?”

“I hate sushi.” And I hate him. What kind of monster hates sushi?

“I do a bit of mixed martial arts.” Meh. He’s not that bad.

“And I like tea.” Okay, I take it back. He probably drinks with his pinky up, and I refuse to corrupt this guy if he’s a pinky-upper. I mean, the pinky could come in handy . . . No. Nope. I cannot like him.”
― Rory Miles, Shadow Slayer

“He gives the customer an apologetic smile. “It’s my first day.”  She lifts an unimpressed eyebrow. “Cool.”  Rolling my lips together, I stop by his side. He leans into my space. “I feel so demeaned. I love it.” His whispered words are hot as they brush over the shell of my ear, and an involuntary shiver skates down my spine.”
