    “Thirty minutes later, Rowan was still staring up at the ceiling, teeth gritted as he calmed the roaring in
    his veins that was steadily shredding through his self-control.
    That gods-damned nightgown.
    Shit.
    He was in such deep, unending shit.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

    I'll be busy for the next eight weeks, so let's set this for November 15th.
    MENU
    I want lamb or venison steak. Baked potatoes with honey butter. Corn on the cob. Rolls. And apple pie, like the one you made before. I really liked it. I want it with ice cream.
    You owe me one naked dinner, but I'm not a complete beast, so you can wear a bra and panties if you so wish. The blue ones with the bow will do.

    Curran,
    Beast Lord of Atlanta

    “Curran shrugged and pulled me back to him. 'You don't pick the family you're born into. You pick the one you make. I already chose my mate and glued her ass to the chair to make sure she knew it.”
    Ilona Andrews, Magic Bleeds

    “Okay, pull me up."
    The rope didn't move.
    "Ascanio?" What was it now? Did he see a butterfly and get distracted?
    The rope slid up, as fast as if wound by a winch. I shot upward. What the...?
    I cleared the edge and found myself face to face with Curran.
    Oh boy.
    He held the rope with one hand, muscles bulging on his arm under his sweatshirt. No strain showed on Curran's face. It's good to be the baddest shapeshifter in the city. Behind him Ascanio stood very still, pretending to be invisible.
    Curran's gray eyes laughed at me. The Beast Lord reached out and touched my nose with his finger. "Boop.”

    “I ripped my left arm out of his hand and slammed my elbow into his solar plexus. He exhaled in a gasp. I lunged for the dagger and sat on top of him, my knees pinning his arms, my dagger on his throat.
    He lay still. “I give up,” he said and smiled. “Your move.”
    Er. I was sitting atop the Beast Lord in my underwear, holding a knife to his throat. What the hell was my next move?”

    “I just had to stay cool. Zen. No punching in the face. Punching would not be Zen.”

    “You want me to level, here it is: I need you. I need you because I love you. Three months without you will be hell. But even if we weren’t together, I would still need you. You’re a good fighter, you’ve worked as a bodyguard, and you know magic. We may not have many magic users, but we don’t know if those packs do, and if they hit us with magic, we have no way to counter.” He spread his arms. “But I love you and I don’t want you to be hurt. I’m not going to ask you to come with me. That would be like stepping in front of a moving train and saying, ‘Hey, honey, come stand next to me.’”

    I hopped off the wall and stood next to him. “Anytime.”

    He just looked at me.

    “I’ve never killed a train before. It might be fun to try.”

    “Are you sure?”

    “One time I was dying in a cage inside a palace that was flying over a magic jungle. And some idiot went in there, chased the palace down, fought his way through hundreds of rakshasas, and rescued me.”

    “I remember,” he said.

    “That’s when I realized you loved me,” I said. “I was in the cage and I heard you roar.”

    “You need a name.”
    I covered the receiver for a moment. “We need a team name.”
    “Hunters,” Raphael said.
    “Valiant Knights of the Fur,” Dali said.
    “Justice Group,” Jim said. “Since Justice League is taken.”
    “Fools.” Doolittle shook his head.
    “Fools,” I said into the receiver.”

    “What did you tell them?”
    “I don't recall. I think I mentioned your discipline and ability to follow orders. I may have said something about you being a team player.”
    Derek emitted a strangled cough.
    “Why?” I demanded.
    “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” Curran resumed hammering.
    “I'm sorry,” I said into the phone, sticking me finger into my other ear so I could hear. “His Majesty tends to exaggerate things. I'm not a team player. I'm undisciplined and I have a problem with authority. Also, the Beast Lord can't hammer for shit.”
    On the roof Derek was laughing his head off.”

    “Barabas placed a stack on the table and held the chair out for me. “For you.”
    “I’m hungry and I don’t have time for this.”
    Barabas’s eyes held no mercy. “Make time, Alpha. You have two hands. You can eat and sign simultaneously.”
    Curran grinned.
    “Enjoying my suffering?” I asked.
    “I find it hilarious that you’ll run into a gunfight with nothing but your sword, but paperwork makes you panic.”
    Barabas put a thicker stack in front of him.
    “This is yours, m’lord.”
    Curran swore.”

    “Bryce's face crumpled as she lurched to her feet, sprinting to the Gate.
    She didn't care how it was possible as Danika said again, "Light it up"
    Then Bryce was laughing and sobbing as she screamed, "LIGHT IT UP, DANIKA! LIGHT IT UP, LIGHT IT UP, LIGHT IT UP!"
    Bryce slammed her palm onto the bronze disk of the Gate.
    And soul to soul with the friend whom she had not forgotten, the friend who had not forgotten her, even in death, Bryce made the Drop.”

    “There are no gods left to watch, I’m afraid. And there are no gods left to help you now, Aelin Galathynius.'
    Aelin smiled, and Goldryn burned brighter. 'I am a god.”

    “I heard what you said.' Pump, pump, pump went his powerful arms. 'What you waiting to admit until I was almost dead, you fucking coward.' His lightening surged into her, sending her body arcing off the ground as he tried to jump-start her heart. He snarled in her ear, 'Now come say it to my face.”

    “Fury didn’t stop her prep. “Bryce was a ghost for a long while, Hunt. She pretended she wasn’t, but she was.” The helicopter finally pulled into the air. “You brought her back to life.”

    “I am Bryce Quinlan,” she said to the Gate, to the void, to all of Hel behind it. Her voice was serene—wise and laughing. “Heir to the Starborn Fae.”

    “I missed you,” he said quietly, his gaze darting between her mouth and eyes. “When I was in
    Wendlyn. I lied when I said I didn’t. From the moment you left, I missed you so much I went out of my
    mind. I was glad for the excuse to track Lorcan here, just to see you again. And tonight, when he had
    that knife at your throat …” The warmth of his callused finger bloomed through her as he traced a path
    over the cut on her neck. “I kept thinking about how you might never know that I missed you with only
    an ocean between us. But if it was death separating us … I would find you. I don’t care how many
    rules it would break. Even if I had to get all three keys myself and open a gate, I would find you
    again. Always.”

    “What are you doing?”
    “What?”
    Emrys didn’t raise his voice as he said, “To that girl. What are you doing that makes her come in here with such emptiness in her eyes?”
    “That’s none of your concern.”
    Emrys pressed his lips into a tight line. “What do you see when you look at her, Prince?”
    He didn’t know. These days, he didn’t know a damn thing. “That’s none of your concern, either.”
    Emrys ran a hand over his weathered face. “I see her slipping away, bit by bit, because you shove her down when she so desperately needs someone to help her back up.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire
