A shrug. “I wasn’t sent to you until now.” “Are you serious?” Incredulity sharpened my tone. “Is your boss in a bad mood, or does he suffer from time-delay up there?
Who was the real Adrian? The oddly charming man who’d asked me for a date right after he kidnapped me? The heroic one who’d saved my life two times in four days? Or the surly one who acted like I was a venereal disease he couldn’t wait to be cured of?
I decided it was the perfect place to be if you wanted to go crazy but had a limited amount of time to do it in.
No matter which side of the grave we’re on. I’ll haunt you, chase you all around eternity, whatever it takes, but it’s you and me until the stars burn out.
That face. That body. And you know he’s packing. Look at the angle on that dangle.
I couldn’t help shaking my head as I looked at him. Ian slept like a baby every morning – well, a baby who continually kept one hand down his pants.
We’re going to knock those demons out and slay them with the power of Jesus. Hallelujah, can I get an amen?- Timmie.
I was slumped next to him. He didn’t pay any attention to me, but kept snickering as he drove. It was annoying. I had PMS and a test this morning. Boy, had he picked the wrong girl.
When I heard the ghouls coming for you, all I cared about was reaching you in time. How often must I tell you that you mean more to me than vengeance? I can live without defeating my enemies, but I cannot live without you.
You’re the light I can never have and I’m the darkness you’ll never succumb to.
You can have all of me, I silently told him, but I’m taking all of you in return.
You see, you don’t want me to love you. You want the version you’ve made up. The knight, even though I’m the dragon and I always will be.
All the rest of the world could only kill or devastate my mind and body. Bones alone held the power to demolish my soul.
Maybe it was a good thing that Bones was putting Don’s remains away instead of me. With my current emotional state, I’d probably think the only safe place for his ashes was tucked inside my clothes next to the garlic and weed.
Mencheres. Bones co-ruler, grandsire, Master vampire of incredible power, and the ally who unnerved me the most, had telekinetically held me down so Bones could boink me into submission enroute to the vampire holding cell? Sweet holy Jesus, let me have hallucinated hearing that!
There were words for what he meant to me, but if I studied every language ever spoken for the next thousand years, I still wouldn’t find enough of them to describe it.
I’ve watched you barely escape death several times, and each instance killed me a little inside. They may be dormant now, but we have enemies both cunning and cruel. Knowing you possess the power to defeat most of them doesn’t threaten me, luv. It relieves me to my very core.
Will the real Red Reaper please stand up?
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I was going to squirt tears. How unprofessional.
Between the money and the illegal merchandise, Bones was getting millions. No wonder he laughed at my salary. -Cat.
