“Guard her like you're me.'
'You mean like I'm six inches taller and built like a bull?' Ridoc gives him a thumbs-up. 'Sure. I'll do my best. In the meantime, you'd better run.'
Liam's gaze finds mine. 'Stay alive.'
'Working on it, and not just for my sake.' I give him a smile. 'Thanks for being a great shadow.”

“His thumbs stroke over the soft skin under my ears, and his gaze drops before he suddenly lets go and retreats a full step. 'Damn it. Touching you was a bad idea.'
'The worst.' I agree, but my tongue skims my lower lip.
He groans and my core melts at the sound. 'Kissing you would be a cataclysmic mistake.'
'Calamitous.' What would it take to hear that groan again?
The inches between us feel like kindling, ready to burn at the first suggestion of hear, and I'm a living, breathing flame. This is everything I should run from, and yet denying the primal attraction I feel is completely, utterly impossible.
'We'll both regret it.' He shakes his head, but there's more than hunger in his eyes as he stares at my lips.
'Naturally,' I whisper. But knowing I'll regret it doesn't stop me from wanting it- wanting him. Regretting is a problem for future Violet.
'Fuck it.'
One second he's out of reach and the next his mouth is on mine, hot and insistent.
Gods, yes. This is exactly what I need.”

“Holy. Fucking. Hot.”

“Bet it would be even more awkward if I kissed you now, huh?'
Yes, please.
'The next time we kiss had better not be just to piss off Dain.' The next time had better only be because we want it.
'Next time, huh?' His gaze lowers to my mouth again.”

“Did you step in?' Dain demands.
'Did I what?' Xaden arches a dark brow and levels a look on Dain that would make a lesser person wither. 'Did I see her outnumbered and already wounded? Did I think her bravery was as admirable as it was fucking reckless?' He turns that stare on me, and I feel the impact all the way to my toes.
'And I would do it again.' I raise my chin.
'Well-the-fuck-aware,' Xaden roars, losing his temper for the first time since I met him on Parapet.
I pull in a quick breath, and Xaden does the same, as if he's just as shocked by his outburst as I am.
'Did I see her fight off three bigger cadets?' His gaze pivots to Dain. 'Because the answer to all of those is yes. But you're asking the wrong question, Aetos. What you should be asking is if Sgaeyl saw it, too.”
