Jasper Contou Quotes

“I was a little angry.'

Casteel arched a brow as he glanced at me. 'A little?'

I narrowed my eyes. 'Okay, I was very angry.'

'I didn't know that,' Alastir said from behind the rim of his cup.

'Obviously, Casteel takes after his father when it comes to women with sharp objects,' Jasper commented with a snort. 'I feel like I'm missing some vital information that Delano conveniently left out when he met me halfway.'

I frowned, but at least I knew where Delano had been.

'You stabbed Casteel?' Jasper repeated. 'In the heart? With bloodstone? And you thought it would kill him?'

'In my defence, I felt bad afterward.'

'She did cry,' Casteel remarked.

I was going to stab him again.”

“You're an absolutely stunning, murderous little creature,' he murmured.

'There'll be time for all the sweet whispers later,' Jasper said, and when Casteel pulled back, there was a fire in his eyes. 'You do look quite lovely, Penellaphe.'

'Thank you,' I said.

'What about me?' Casteel asked, and behind him, Naill sighed.

'You look passable.'

'That was rude,' he replied.

'Would you like to go sit in the shade and nurse your wounded feelings? Like you did when you were young and inevitably injured yourself doing something incredibly stupid?'

Casteel's brows lowered as he looked over at Jasper. 'This marriage ceremony is starting off in a really weird way.”

“I haven't spun any tales.' He paused. 'Yet.'

Casteel's eyes narrowed as he stood beside me. 'How about you keep spinning tales to a minimum?'

'But I've interested in spun tales,' I remarked.”

“I should be here with you,' Kieran stepped closer to Casteel. 'My duty is to defend your life with mine. That is what I'm bonded to do, the oath I took. How can I do that running away from the battle?' His voice lowered. 'Don't do this, Cas.'
...
'You took an oath to protect me, and you will,' Casteel said. 'You're not running away from the battle. You will be keeping safe what is most important to me, and that is Poppy.'

I jolted. 'Wait. What?'

'You will leave with them. It will be hard,' he said, still holding Kieran's gaze. 'There will be no breaks, and you will need to listen to everything Kieran tells you, especially when it's night in the mountains, but-'

'I'm not leaving,' I cut him off.

'You can't be here,' Casteel replied. 'Not when they come. This is not up for discussion.'

I shot to my feet. 'Let me make one thing clear. I don't know if you realise this or not, Casteel, but I'm not duty-bound to obey a single thing you say.'

Casteel stiffened.

'And maybe you should actually look at me when you try to order me to do things,' I tacked on.

He turned to me, his head cocked. 'I'm looking at you now.'

'But are you listening?'

'Oh, man,' Delano murmured under his breath as the rest of the room went dead silent. 'Someone is getting stabbed again.'

Someone, I think it was Jasper, snorted.

'Oh, I'm listening,' Casteel replied. 'Maybe you should try that. Along with this thing called common sense.'

'Definitely getting stabbed,' Kieran confirmed.”

“No one wants to hear about how many times I've made you bleed,' I snapped.

'I do,' Jasper remarked.

Emil raised his hand. 'So do I.”
