“It sounds awful when I say it out loud.” “True things often do.”
― Rachel Gillig, The Knight and the Moth

“Everard looked at me. “I want to be with you and just you. If you never told me another secret again, I would still want you. Nobody can take you away from me. Not Arvel, not Sauven, not the Archmage, not the entirety of the Crimson Empire. The only person who can come between us is you. And I promise you, from this point on, I will bring the full power of everything I am to win you over. You will put your hand in mine, Maggie, and you will do it gladly.”
― Ilona Andrews, This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

“Do you really need me to spell it out? Yes, I’m lusting after you like a hell-cursed fool. No, it’s not your problem or your fault. Blame the murderous fingers or the spiteful filthy mouth, or perhaps the first knife you pushed to my throat – because if you insist, the rather humbling truth is I haven’t been able to think straight about you since.”
― Lisette Marshall, The Death-Made Prince

“I’d rather you hate me than not think of me at all.”
― Brigitte Knightley, The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy
