“Love was a gift that should be given freely, and without the expectation of gaining anything in return. It was nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to be afraid of. It just was.”
― Lynsay Sands, Highland Treasure

“Get that son of a bitch to jail,” he said
through his teeth, “before I kill him!”
His eyes were testimony enough to the intent of the
statement. He’d forgotten law, duty, honor, everything, in

― Diana Palmer, Lawless

“What I feel? Like how I want to take your pain away and yet throttle you at the same moment? How your stupid dimples are infuriating, look for them every time you smile because I know that's a real smile. I don't know why I look forward to arguing with you, but I do. You're clever, and you are kinder than even you realise- even though I know you have earned the title of the Dark One. You are a puzzle I want to figure out, but at the same time, don't. And when I realised You have so many masks- so many layers, I kept wanting to peel them back, even though I fear it will only hurt more in the end.'

I shook my head as I curled my fingers around the collar of my tunic. 'I don't understand any of this. Like how do I want to stab you and kiss you at the same time? And I know you said that I deserve to be with someone who didn't kidnap me, or someone I don't want to stab-'

'Forget I said that,' he said, closer to me when I looked up. 'I have no idea what I was talking about. Maybe I didn't even say that.'

My lips twitched. 'You totally said that.'

'You're right. I did. Forget it.”

“Love cannot define what I feel for you. But I will settle for it with my words and show you what I truly feel with my actions.”
