― Lark Taylor, Patience

“So you're not upset about the fact that I was...tracking you?"
He flashed his dimple at me. "Think we can call a spade a spade. You were stalking me."
I grunted, not agreeing but not denying it either.
"But no." Matty smiled shyly, toying with a button on my shirt. My cock twitched as his fingertip grazed my skin. "I'm not upset about that. Actually, I think it's quite...flattering. Like maybe you were thinking of me as much as I was thinking of you."
Fuck. I was on dangerous ground here. "You shouldn't look at it that way. It's toxic, red flag behaviour."
His teeth sank into his lower lip as he looked up at me from under his lashes.
"Did I ever tell you I'm colour blind?”

“It wasn’t as loud as the other half of me though—the half that knew I had to protect my heart. Because, as much as I told Nox we couldn’t be together, that we wouldn’t work, there was the buried side of me that I couldn’t ignore. That part of me hoped maybe he’d be different. That he’d be the one to see the real me, and still want me.
That maybe he’d want me enough to fight for me, even if his opponent was my own stubbornness.”
― Lark Taylor, Conflicted

“But when Nox spoke, not a drop of that existed. His voice was deathly quiet, but there was a tremble in it that hinted at a storm waiting to be unleashed. “Who did this to you, little angel?”
― Lark Taylor, Conflicted

“I surged forwards, catching his lips with mine. His apologies were undoing the fragile stitching holding me together. I didn't want them. I didn't need them,

I just needed him.”
― Lark Taylor, Green Light

“was laughing again, swiping at my eyes as I imagined Zeke staring at his dust-caked finger in horror. Well, what I imagined him to look like, anyway. Seeing as I had nothing to base it on, I’d used my own dream man. Sam Heughan, specifically playing Jamie Fraser in Outlander.”
― Lark Taylor, Devoted

“Dimitri was in love with another. Yet, when he’d called and asked for help, again, I hadn’t hesitated. I never could say no to him. So there I was, leading my unit straight into a deadly battle, all for a man I would never have.”
― Lark Taylor, Conflicted

“If fate knew what it was doing then Sam would be my mate.” I kicked at a rock. “And he might be,” Micah reminded me. “Look at the demons down in Southampton. Cal and Harlow both lived in the same city as their human mates for years before they met them. Maybe the pull isn’t as strong if one of you is human.”

“We have to tell someone,” Kai said desperately. “This is what social services are for, right?” I laughed bitterly. “You think they actually care about kids like us? Kai, I’ve had more social workers than hot dinners. Nothing ever changes. Dad lies about where the bruises come from and threatens me so I stay quiet. The one time I was honest with them, they went straight to him to corroborate my story.” I closed my eyes against the memory. “Trust me when I say it’s not worth it.”

“He turned his head so he could smile at me. “Was that okay?” “Okay?” I gave an incredulous laugh. My earlier fear of sharing with him was nowhere to be seen. With all my guards down, I couldn’t help the raw emotion leaking out. “Luca, you’ve ruined me for anyone else.” He said one word before catching my mouth with his. “Good.”

“Micah slipped back inside the office, giving us a few moments of privacy. “I’m sorry. I really do want to have this talk with you now.” “I know.” He smiled. “It’s alright, really. Whatever it is, I’m sure waiting a few more hours won’t hurt.”

“Opening my laptop, I held my breath as the game loaded. The graphics flickered across the screen before our current civilisation appeared. It was the fourth one we’d created together. The first three had turned to shit because we’d been too busy chatting to remember to actually do anything with the game. I hadn’t commented on this, and neither had Zeke. The first time it had happened, I’d been hit by a wave of disappointment, thinking that’d be it for our conversations. It had lasted less than a heartbeat as Zeke immediately invited me to another game.”

“I glanced at what Dagon was holding and sighed.
"Really? You ripped out his spine?"
Dagon looked down at it like he'd forgotten he was holding it before throwing it behind him. His eyes were returning to normal, the temperature lowering as he got his demon under control. "Well, he was being spineless, so I figured it was an apt way for him to die.”
― Lark Taylor, Luck of the Devil

“No, that’s not too much to ask,” Ollie said quietly. “Everyone deserves to be happy. To find that person who completes us. Who holds us up when we’re falling down. Who cheers us on and pushes us to do better. Who lets us care for them when we need it. Who we can trust without question.”
