    "I gave up a world for you."
    He glared at me, not giving me anything.
    I kept right on going. "I thought, perhaps, when I learned I had powers, I might be able to use them to go home," his eyes flashed but that was all I got so I kept on going, "but not for good. My father isn't dead." Another flash. "He's alive and at home and living maybe with a fake Circe. He'll know the difference, though, I KNOW it. He's out of his mind with worry, I know that too. He's wondering where I am and if I'm okay and how to get me back. I also know that. I know that and I know that my life was good. I loved my life. I loved my home. I loved my job. I had a lot of people who loved me that loved me back." I sucked in a breath and then whispered, "But as much as your world scared me, as much as our practices repulsed me, I still chose you."
    His torso jerked, it was almost imperceptible, but I caught it.
    I kept at him. "I gave up my world for you, Lahn. I sat at your side through things people in my world would find loathsome and I did it with my head held high. I even felt 'pride' that I could endure, that I could be a good queen to you.......Everything I did in this fucking place, even before I fell in love with you, was for...fucking...YOU."

    “Moomah," Travis mumbled and Joker looked to the kid to see his eyes on the magazine, his fingers twiddling his lip.
    "Yeah, son, that's your momma."
    Travis looked to him. "Moomah."
    "Yeah, boy."
    Travis took his fingers from his lip and curled them around Joker's. "Joejoekah."
    "Yeah," Joker whispered. "I'm your Joker."
    The boy wobbled a second then dropped forward and landed a sloppy, open-mouthed kiss on his hand and Joker's mouth.
    He wobbled back.
    "Love you too, kid," Joker whispered.
    Travis giggled.”

    “Dragos angled his head and watched her leave. He still didn't like that image of her walking away. Someday you will trust me. Then you will tell me what more there was to the dream and why you were so shaken. You will not be afraid of me and you will tell me all your secrets. And then you will be mine.”

    “Outside my bike, never has anything important in my life been just mine."
    My body stilled, so did my heart, and my eyes locked with his.
    He started moving again, slowly, deeply and he kept talking. "Always castoffs, leftovers, used, sometimes even food from the dumpsters."
    My heart started beating again, only to trip over itself; my breath came fast, not only from what was happening to my body but what he was saying.
    "Vance-"
    His lips came to mine, his hands moved out of my hair and went to the side of my face and he stared in my eyes, pressing deep inside.
    "Mine," he muttered, his deep voice hoarse, that fierce undercurrent there.
    His tone caused a shiver to run through me, straight through to my soul.
    Then he kissed me.”

    “I thrust the picture at his chest. He takes it and squints at it in the softening light. Then his eyes widen. "Holy shit," he breathes. "Is this the girl that ate you?"

    "Ha, no. You're funny." I snatch my picture back. "So I was super fat. It's my father's fault. He never hugged me."

    "So, what, you ate him?”

    “Far be it from me to slow down two badass supermodels on a mission, but we have a problem," a male voice said wryly.
    I could see Christian out of the corner of my eye as we turned, his stance and movements almost synchronized to my own. We shared a look, our expressions almost identically similar, with arched brows and half-smiles.
    "What's the problem?" I called out, scanning the faces to see who had spoken.
    "You're a badass supermodel," Christian muttered under his breath at the same time, taking the mature approach, as usual.”

    “You are now Korwahk warriors. You serve me,” she said just after Lahn thumped his chest. “You serve your golden queen,” she said after Lahn, not looking back, swung a muscular arm and pointed my way before dropping it. “You know nothing now but horseflesh between your legs, steel in your grip, blood on your tongue, victory your only focus. There is no other path. You have no mother. You have no father. You have no brothers except those who wear the paint. You have only The Horde. You are The Horde. You serve me, your queen, your Horde. You will seize bounty; you will claim your bride. You will grunt and sweat and bury your seed to create warriors. You do not own your flesh; The Horde owns your flesh. You sink your blade into flesh; you do it for The Horde. You will wake up a warrior, you will sleep a warrior and you will die a warrior.”

    I’m sorry, the message said.
    The theft was a violation of privacy. It was an unbelievable act of impudence and disrespect. Not only that, it was—baffling. He was murderous, incandescent with fury. He was older than sin and could not remember when he had last been in such a rage.
    He looked at the paper again.
    I’m sorry I had to take your penny. Here’s another to replace it.
    Yep, that’s what it said.
    One corner of his mouth twitched. He gave himself a deep shock when he burst into an explosive guffaw.”

    “Sjofn is the Goddess of Love. And love,” her eyelids suddenly fluttered dreamily, “love,” she breathed then she focused on me with a strange intensity that made me, even me, squirm a little, “love is everything.”

    “Layne walked up to him and put both hands to his son’s neck, giving it a firm squeeze, he looked him in the eyes and whispered, “Fucked up with you, know it, but you’re a fuckin’ good kid despite that and, even though I didn’t have much to do with it, I’m proud of you.” He gave his son’s neck a gentle jerk and finished. “Love you, Bud.”

    “Then he noted softly, "You're pissed."
    Was he for real? "Uh...yeah," I verified. "Don't be pissed," he ordered.
    No, seriously, he couldn't be for real.”

    “there, “You already think I’m a dick.” I felt my heart beat faster and I whispered, “Joe –” Joe cut me off. “So, don’t matter tomorrow morning you still think I’m a dick, ‘cause now, even though you’re drunk, I’m gonna take you inside and fuck you ‘til you ache.”

    “Where on earth did you come from,
    baby?”
    Frey's brows drew together and he asked softly back, "Pardon?"
    My thumb stroked his jaw before I whispered, "My handsome husband is gentle, thoughtful and kind. He laughs and smiles easily and he makes me feel safe. I was with your folks for about five minutes and they were so far from any of that, it is not funny. So," I squeezed his neck, "where did you come from?”

    “Douglas ignored her look, determined to move to the next phase in his strategy and went on. “Julia, I intend to be your lover.” With Julia’s soft warmth pressed so close, he could smell her. Both the feel of her and her scent made his body begin to tighten in an intensely pleasant way so that, when he spoke, his voice deepened, became hungry, as he, again, made his intentions clear but this time, he made them clearer. “I intend to sleep in sheets that smell of tangerines and jasmine. I intend to have your naked body squirming under mine. I intend to touch you everywhere with my hands and my mouth. I intend to memorise the taste of you, to make you call my name while I’m moving inside you, to make you so excited you beg me to let you come…”

    “There had been very little in Douglas Ashton’s life that he ever wanted. Most of it he could obtain, the rest of it, a loving mother and father, his sister back from the dead, was unobtainable.
    At that moment, he found himself wanting something.
    And what he wanted was for Julia to lose herself with him.
    He wanted this stubborn, tempestuous Julia Fairfax to disappear and an acquiescent, but still tempestuous, Julia Ashton to take her place. He wanted to brand her with his name and shackle her with his ring.
    Did she not understand that was a good thing?”

    “He held up his hand and spread his fingers. "Today I stared at my hand for an hour. Then I turned into a dragon and stared at my claw. Do you know why?"
    "You have gone insane?"
    "Marina's fingers fit perfectly between the fingers of my hand when I am a man. When I was a dragon she would snuggle up to my talons, fit herself into my claw and kiss it sweetly, as if one wrong move wouldn't disembowel her." He smiled at Daniil when he rolled his eyes. "She is terrified of losing me. I didn't realize that until today.”

    Fuck him.”

    “Hey!"
    To his horror, the canvas started to move and a perfectly manicured hand appeared.
    Law rushed across the hall, his feet making not a single sound against the carpet.
    “Hafta getta way.” Kinley was trying to haul herself out of the laundry cart. One fist came up. “Won’t let you. Won’t.”
    Riley peered down at her. How did she make that look so fucking adorable? She was a mess of white tulle, and all he could think about was wrapping himself around her.
    “Baby, it’s all right.” Law reached for her hand, his voice softer than Riley could ever remember hearing it. Law was rough and tumble, but he got so tender around this one bit of blonde fluff. “What the hell. I thought I emptied the fucking syringe in her arm. We need the chloroform, Riley."
    Yes, it was their last resort. It wouldn’t keep Kinley out for very long, but they had to keep her out long enough to escape this damn hotel.
    “Don’t want to get married. Want the beach. Happy there.” They weren’t taking her to the beach, but at least Law seemed to be calming her down. Then she turned those kick-him-in-the-gonads brown eyes his way. "So pretty. Wanna get married?”

    “Uhm, what floor do you want?" That was polite, right?

    Adam snorted but Serena smiled, a wide grin on her face. "I think it's the fifteenth floor. But you're the one who works here, so you might know better than me."

    God, he was such a dumbass. He was so much better when he was just killing something.”

    “You taste injustice, even if it’s fictional, really taste it,it has a way of doing that. Sometimes, you can never put the shoe on the other foot. We can’t go back in time and know what it was like to be a black person then. Even today, when things are supposed to be so much better, not one of you can understand what it’s like to be black, to live with the knowledge of what happened to your ancestry and still face injustice. But that book makes us taste it and, reading it, we know how bitter that taste is and we know we don’t like it. But that bitter wakes you up, and when you wake up, you open your mind to things in this world, you make yourself think. Then you’ll decide you don’t like the taste of injustice, not for you and not for anyone, and you’ll understand that even though all the battles can’t be won, that doesn’t mean you won’t fight.”

    “It’s not fake is it?” Jasper asked softly and Layne studied his son thinking he had vastly underestimated Jasper too.
    “It was, Jas, it isn’t anymore.” Jasper nodded. Layne continued. “She doesn’t know that yet, though.”
    Jasper stared at him then his mouth twitched before, very slowly, it spread into a smile.”

    “Hawk ignored my glare and I knew he was doing this when he got close, hooked me around the neck, yanked me to his side and propelled me to the table, head bent to my ear where he murmured, "See you're stressy and in a bad mood."
    He lifted his head and I twisted my neck to look up at him and see he was grinning.
    "Just curious, but do you know how much contract killers cost and and, incidentally, would you have a recommendation?”

    “You comin’ or what?” Ryker returned.
    Layne glanced through Merry and Cal, nodded and followed Ryker. It would seem big, scary, badass, looking like a raving lunatic Ryker needed his BFF.
    Fuck.”

    “So, hoss. Have you actually told her you’re in love with her?”

    “She won’t let me. When I tried, she threw me down a flight of stairs.”

    “And you’re not concerned about that?”

    “There weren’t that many steps.”

    “...Were you in the military?"
    "Are you kidding me? I was in high school."
    "High school," he said quietly. "You’re American. And a civilian?"
    "Uh, yes. An American civilian."
    "Lovely. A straight answer. Keep it up. Did somebody train you?"
    "No, nobody trained me. Unless you count the Rhode Island child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Why?"
    Malachi held up his hand and ticked off the reasons with his fingers. "You stole a Guard's weapon. If I'm not mistaken, it belonged to a Gate Guard. Which means you managed to do it on your way into the city. You escaped Amid even after he had you in hand. You slashed his leg in just the right place, preventing him from chasing you. Under extreme duress, injured and cornered, you threw a knife and hit a target-"
    "It's not like I hit something vital.”

    I twisted my neck, looked up and there he was.
    I held my breath and he asked, “You comin’ or what?”
    That was it. That was his pickup line. “You comin’ or what?”
    I went.”
