    J.D. Robb
    “She stepped forward as if to pick up the fur she'd tossed over a chair. Smoothly, she turned to hand it to him. And with perfect timing, flung herself into his arms.

    The sable fell as he took her shoulders to shove her back.

    Eve stepped to the doorway to see Magdelana with her arms locked around Roarke's neck, his hands on her bare shoulders--one of the ivory straps sliding to her elbow.

    "Son of a bitch," she said.

    On cue, Magdelana spun around, her face full of passion and shock. "Oh, God. Oh...it's not what it looks like."

    "Bet." Eve strode in.

    Actually, Roarke thought, it was more of a swagger. He had a moment to admire it, before Eve rammed her fist in his face.

    "Fuck me." His head snapped back, and he tasted blood.

    Magdelana cried out, but even the deaf would have caught the suppressed laughter in the sound. "Roarke! Oh, my God, you're bleeding. Please, let me just--"

    "Don't look now," Eve said cheerfully. "But he's not the only one." She decked Magdelana with a straight-armed jab. "Bitch," Eve added as Magdelana's eyes rolled back and she fell, unconscious, to the floor.

    Roarke looked down. "Well, now, fuck us all.”
    J.D. Robb, Innocent in Death

    J.D. Robb
    “You had no right. No right to stand in front of me.” He turned back now, his eyes vividly blue with temper that had gone from frigid to blaze. “No fucking right to risk yourself on my behalf”

    “Oh really. Is that so?” She stalked forward until they were toe to toe. “Okay, you tell me. You keep looking me dead in the eye and you tell me you wouldn’t have done the same if it was me in jeopardy.”

    “That’s entirely different.”

    “Why?” Her chin came up and her finger jabbed hard into his chest. “Because you have a penis?”
    J.D. Robb, Vengeance in Death

  • #12
    J.D. Robb
    “Then we'd better stop her." Coating the hammering fear with calming ice, Roarke worked precisely. "I'm not losing my wife today. I need more shagging light here.”
    J.D. Robb, Obsession in Death

  • #13
    J.D. Robb
    “Problem is, it’ll be like looking for the crazy needle in a stack of needles. And nobody say ‘haystack,’” she warned. “Because that’s just stupid.”
    J.D. Robb, Obsession in Death

  • #14
    J.D. Robb
    “Roarke glanced over at the monitor briefly, saw Eve on screen facing a woman who'd tried to make herself her twin. The hair, the eyes.
    She didn't come close, he thought, then forced himself to look away from the beat of his heart, and work to save her.
    Roarke tuned it out, all of it. Just the sound of Eve's voice - not the words, just the sound of her voice - was all he let in as he worked to lift the most important lock of his life.”
    J.D. Robb, Obsession in Death

  • #16
    Patricia Briggs
    “For Adam, screwed-up bonding thing or not, I’d wait forever.
    “Really?” he asked in a tone I’d never heard from him before. Softer. Vulnerable. Adam didn’t do vulnerable.

    “Really what?” I asked.
    “Despite the way our bond scares you, despite the way someone in the pack played you, you’d still have me?”
    He'd been listening to my thoughts. This time it didn't bother me.

    “Adam,” I told him, “I’d walk barefoot over hot coals for you.”
    Patricia Briggs, Silver Borne

    Patricia Briggs
    “Why is it that all cars are women?" he asked.

    "Because they're fussy and demanding," answered Zee.

    "Because if they were men, they'd sit around and complain instead of getting the job done," I told him.”
    Patricia Briggs, Silver Borne

    Patricia Briggs
    “Adam has always had . . . heroic tendencies.”
    I touched Adam’s arm. “He’s my hero.”
    There was another pause. . .
    “That is the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard you say,” Bran said. “Be careful, Adam, or you’ll turn her into a real girl.”
    Adam looked at me. “I like her just the way she is, Bran.” And he meant it, greasy overalls, broken fingernails, and all.”
    Patricia Briggs, Silver Borne

    Patricia Briggs
    “Heart turned to me, his face thought­ful. “Yes­ter­day morn­ing. Yes, that means that Daphne hadn’t been home for two days be­fore that.” He smiled at me. “You were sup­posed to be the Al­pha’s eye can­dy.”
    Adam laughed.
    “What?” I asked him. “You don’t think I’d be good eye can­dy?” I looked down at my over­alls and grease-​stained hands. I’d torn an­oth­er nail to the quick.
    “Hon­ey is eye can­dy,” said Ben apolo­get­ical­ly. “You’re . . . just you.”
    “Mine,” said Adam, edg­ing be­tween Heart and me. “Mine is what she is.”
    Patricia Briggs, Silver Borne

    Stupid. As if I'd die without taking you with me.”

    Patricia Briggs
    “It's only fair to warn you that you sealed your fate tonight. When you knew you were in trouble, you came to me. That makes twice, Mercy, and twice is almost as good as a declaration. You are mine now.... Ben says you might run. If you do, I will find you and bring you back. Every time you run, Mercy. I won't force you, but. .. No more excuses, Mercy. You are mine, and I am keeping you.”
    Patricia Briggs, Iron Kissed

  • #23
    Patricia Briggs
    “Thank you, Adam,” I told him. “Thank you for tearing Tim into small Tim bits. Thank you for forcing me to drink one last cup of fairy bug-juice so I could have use of both of my arms. Thank you for being there, for putting up with me.” By that point I wasn’t laughing anymore. “Thank you for keeping me from being another of Stefan’s sheep—I’ll take pack over that any day. Thank you for making the tough calls, for giving me time.” I stood up and walked to him, leaning against him and pressing my face against his shoulder.

    “Thank you for loving me.”

    His arms closed around me, pressing flesh painfully hard against bone. Love hurts like that sometimes.”
    Patricia Briggs, Bone Crossed

  • #24
    Patricia Briggs
    “He stepped back with exaggerated courtesy. But when I walked past him, he swatted my rump. Hard enough to sting.
    “You need to be more careful,” he growled. “Keep interfering in my business and you might get hurt.”
    I said sweetly as I continued to Jesse's room, “The last man who swatted me like that is rotting in his grave.”
    “I have no doubt about it.” His voice was more satisfied then contrite.”
    Patricia Briggs, Iron Kissed

    Patricia Briggs
    “Yes,” I told him. “I think the guy playing the Pirate King was awesome.”

    He stopped where he was.

    “What?” I asked, frowning at the big smile on his face.

    “I didn’t say I liked the Pirate King,” he told me.

    “Oh.” I closed my eyes—and there he was. A warm, edgy presence right on the edge of my perception. When I opened my eyes, he was standing right in front of me.
    “Cool,” I told him. “You’re back.”

    He kissed me leisurely. When he was finished, I was more than ready to head home. Fast.

    “You make me laugh,” he told me seriously.”
    Patricia Briggs, Bone Crossed

    Patricia Briggs
    “Zack shook his head. "I am glad you aren't mine. You're going to be dead before you're forty."
    "No," rumbled my husband's soft deep voice from the hallway. "I'm going to be dead before she's forty.”
    Patricia Briggs, Shifting Shadows

    Patricia Briggs
    “So,” he said, shaking his head. “I’m too much for you. You should have said something. We might be married, Mercy, but no still means no.”

    I widened my eyes at him. “I just haven’t wanted to hurt your feelings.”

    “When I give you that little nudge, hmm?” His voice took on a considering air. “Come to think of it, I’m feeling a little nudge coming on right now.”

    “Now?” I whispered in horrified tones. I looked up toward Jesse’s room. “Think of the children.”

    He tilted his head as if to listen, then shook it. “They won’t hear anything from there.” He started slowly down the stairs.

    “Think of Darryl, Zack, Lucia, and Joel,” I said earnestly. “They’ll be scarred for life.”

    “You know what they say about werewolves,” he told me gravely, stepping down to the ground.

    I broke and ran—and he was right on my tail. Figuratively speaking, of course. I don’t have a tail unless I’m in my coyote shape.”
    Patricia Briggs, Fire Touched

    Patricia Briggs
    “What?” he asked, finishing the second of his nine-ounce steaks, medium rare. “Why are you looking at me that way?”

    [...]

    I sighed theatrically, resting my chin on my cupped hands and bracing my elbows on the table. “You are too gorgeous, you know?”

    I said it just loud enough that the people who’d been watching us surreptitiously could hear me.

    Unholy laughter lit his eyes—telling me he’d been noticing the looks we’d been getting. But his face was completely serious, as he purred, “So. Am I worth what you paid for me, baby?”

    I loved it when he played along with me.
    I sighed again, a sound that I drew up from my toes, a contented, happy sound. I’d get him back for that “baby.” Just see if I didn’t.

    “Oh, yes,” I told our audience. “I’ll tell Jesse that she was right. Go for the sexy beast, she told me. If you’re going to shell out the money, don’t settle.”

    He threw back his head and laughed until he had to wipe tears of hilarity off his face. “Jeez, Mercy,” he said. “The things you say.” Then he leaned across the table and kissed me.

    A while later he pulled back, grinned at me, and sat back in his chair.

    I had to catch my breath before I spoke. “Best five bucks I ever spent,” I told him fervently.”
    Patricia Briggs, River Marked

    Patricia Briggs
    “My love," he said, his voice intent, "you are welcome to all that I am, all that I have. I would destroy the planet for you. I was even diplomatic for you, which was a bigger sacrifice. A little power drain is nothing.”
    Patricia Briggs, Silence Fallen

  • #30
    Chloe Neill
    “I had a sense of your passion when we met, Merit. When you first stormed into my House with fire in your eyes.” “That wasn’t fire. That was sheer, unmitigated fury.”
    Chloe Neill, Biting Bad
