Ah, mistress, you__e an angel. Sure there__ not a drop left? I might have remembered one more person_.___p yours,_ I said rudely with another belch. __t__ empty. You should tell me the name anyway, after making me drink all that sewage.__inston gave me a devious smile. __ome back with a full bottle and I will.___elfish spook,_ I mumbled, and staggered away.I__ made it a few feet when I felt that distinct pins-and-needles sensation again, only this time it wasn__ in my throat.__ey!__ looked down in time to see Winston__ grinning, transparent form fly out of my pants. He was chuckling even as I smacked at myself and hopped up and down furiously.__runken filthy pig!_ I spat. __astard!___nd a good eve__n_ to you, too, mistress!_ he called out, his edges starting to blur and fade. __ome back soon!___ hope worms shit on your corpse!_ was my reply. A ghost had just gotten to third base with me. Could I sink any lower?

I don't lack for bed partners, so I don't need to scrounge for unwilling scraps.-Spade

There is no way I__ going out in public like this!__t seemed while I was being tormented at the salon, Bones had been out shopping. I didn__ ask where he got the money from, images of old folks with their necks bleeding and their wallets missing dancing in my head. There were boots, earrings, push-up bras, skirts, and something he swore to me were dresses but only looked like pieces of dresses.

You do that, and I take back every nasty thing I've ever said about you."He grinned, his mood changing from serious to wicked in an instant. "Why? I'm all those things and more."I shook my head. Ian was more proud of his depravity than anyone I'd met, but if he helped me pull Bones out from under four bespelled vampires and one demonically-enchanced vamp, I'd shower him with prostitutes and porn while swearing he was an angel.

You're a beautiful young woman walking without an escort at one in the morning. Why doesn't one of your staff at least see you to your car?""Because they're not sexist pigs who think women are incapable of taking care of themselves."Chance rolled his eyes. "This has nothing to do with feminism. I'm all for gender equality, but the fact remains that women are targeted for more specific crimes than men, and the perpetrators of those crimes often look for circumstances such as these to attack.""See this?" Isa pulled something dark and oblong out of her purse. Chance's mouth twitched."Turbo Vag

Flowers and jewelry worked for most girls as a romantic gesture, but here I was, misty-eyed at watching him show my mother how to stab the shit out of him.

How can you stand touching her?_ my sister blurted, staring at our clasped hands. __oesn__ that hurt?__ seized on the change of topic. __hese gloves are specialized rubber. They block the current.__retchen__ gaze traveled over Vlad, disbelief still stamped on her features. __eah, but how do you two do anything else, unless he has a special, currentrepellingglove for his____retchen!_ my father cut her off.My cheeks felt hot. Don__ say a word, I thought to Vlad, seeing his chest tremble with suppressed laughter.__e has a natural immunity,_ I gritted out.

Just because death would eventually separate us, that didn't mean it would destroy what we had. I am forever yours, in this life or the next. Some things could penetrate even the formidable barrier of death, and love was one of them.

I am offering you a real commitment_ a place in my life forever. Even if our relationship ended, our tie to each other never would. Let me make you a vampire, Leila, and watch decades slide by like days while you__e by my side.

You once told me you could stand many things._ My voice was raspy from all the emotions battering against those well-honed inner defenses.__o can I. I can stand whatever Apollyon dishes out, can take the bigotry from others over what I am, the freaky ghost juju from Marie, all thecraziness my mother can throw at me, and even the pain of my uncle dying. But the one thing that I would never, ever recover from would be losingyou. You made me promise before to go on if that happened, but Bones___ere my words broke and tears spilled down my cheeks___ wouldn__want to.__e__ been near the side of the bed when I started talking, but was in my arms before the first tear fell. Very softly, his lips brushed over those wetstreaks, coming back pink from the drops still shimmering on them.__o matter what happens, you will never lose me,_ he whispered. __ am forever yours, Kitten, in this life or the next.

I__e never been jealous before I met you, it burns, luv. Like silver through my veins. Some nights, watching you with other men on your jobs, I think it will drive me mad. (Bones)

Kitten, four hours of sleep while holding you is far more beneficial to me than eight hours of endless tossing and turning because you're not there. -Bones from This Side of the Grave

...But the one thing that I would never, ever recover from would be losing you. You made me promise before to go on if that happened, but Bones, I wouldn't want to. - Cat from This Side of the Grave

If you run from me, I will chase you, and I'll find you....

You call that begging? Oh, Kitten, you can do better than that...

Nathanial can show me how to better control the change, but even so, you never have to worry about me turning into a cat again. Didn't you know, I'm allergic to cats.

Christ girl, _ wasn't even going to bite you. Well, not the way you're thinking." "I'm flattered you want to fuck me as well as muder me. Really, Liam, that's sweet." He grinned. "Valentine's Day was just last month, after all.

Kitten, you still haven__ told her? Blimey, whatare you waiting for?___he Second Coming of Christ!_ I snapped.
