“Telling someone you’ll accept them as long as they pretend to be someone they’re not—that’s not real acceptance. And saying you’ll love someone as long as they lie about part of who they are—that’s not real love, pup.” Bayden tensed at the word love being uttered out loud for the first time.

Axel touched his cheek and made him turn to face him. "Pup?"

[...] That's okay,' Marcus whispered to him. 'One kiss doesn't need to be enough to let you know that the nightmare is really over.'

Liam swallowed rapidly, the world around him becoming embarrassingly misty.

'I'm not going anywhere,' Marcus promised. 'There'll be as many kisses as you need.'

Tilting Liam's head back, Marcus dipped his head and brought their lips together one more time. Liam sighed softly into the kiss and, very slowly, woke up just a little bit more.”

“Real submission isn’t about faking how you feel. It’s not about hiding things. It’s about offering up your every thought, your every emotion and trusting me to use them wisely. It’s one thing to pretend there’s nothing you want off me. Admitting everything you want and then accepting that I might not grant you any of it? That’s far harder.”
― Kim Dare, Axel's Pup

“« James snorted. “I should have guessed you wouldn’t mind having to share, so long as Rupert keeps picking up the tag—”
“I don’t share,” Leon said, very calmly, as he set his tray on the table and handed out the drinks.
“But I don’t give up without a fight either.”
Looking up, he turned all his attention to James.

“I mean...it’s no big deal. You’d have done exactly the same if it had been Ed working undercover with you, right?” Trent’s smile had little sign of real happiness in it.
“Like hell I would!” Kieran told him. Trent met his eyes. “Have you met his boyfriend? Derby’s bloody well psychotic. I can just imagine trying to
explain to him that I wasn’t screwing his sub—I was just screwing the guy his sub was pretending to be.” Kieran had heard Derby’s views on the matter several times over the past few months. That wasn’t a conversation that would ever go well for him or Ed.
“You’d tell Derby?” Trent asked.
Kieran made a disbelieving sound in the back of his throat. “I wouldn’t get the chance. Ed would blurt it out five seconds after he set eyes on him. Derby’s the only guy he can’t lie to.”

“Have you noticed how they’re all nicer to Evan than they are to you?”
“Because Evan’s human, sir.”
“No, because he finds them all as intimidating as hell. Giving him a hard time would be like kicking a kitten.” He chuckled. “It’s obvious where he’d fit into the group, but you confuse the hell out of them.”
― Kim Dare, Axel's Pup
