If Iโd known you were such a lush, Iโd have given you the cheap stuff. Going to go out with a bang, are you?
Jeaniene FrostHe gave the body a final kick and then turned to face me. โYou and I need to talk, Kitten.โ โNow?โ I asked in disbelief, gesturing to the dead vampire near his feet. โItโs not like heโs going anywhere, so yeah. Now.
Jeaniene FrostHe was also handsome in a too-pretty way that made me think with less muscles, a wig, and some makeup, he'd look great in a dress. Vlad's scowl vanished into a smile as the brunet's gaze swung in my direction as though he'd somehow heard that. "Looks as though she's put you in your place as well, Bones," Vlad drawled.
Jeaniene FrostRight, then, mate, terribly sorry for my unspeakable rudeness, and I do beg your pardon. I can only say that it was caused by my natural affront to the notion of her as my sister. Since I'll be shagging her tonight, you can imagine how I'd be distressed at the thought of rogering my sibling" "You shmuck! The only thing you'll be shagging tonight is yourself!" "You wanted sincerity, well, luv, I was sincere.
Jeaniene FrostNo matter what happens, you will never lose me, I am forever yours, Kitten, in this life or the next.
Jeaniene FrostHow could you be nervous about asking me to marry you, Bones? I'd die for you. Why wouldn't I want to live for you as well?
Jeaniene FrostAs if Spade's chivalry would allow him to do anything to a woman. The harshest punishment she could imagine him dishing out to Cat would be refusing to open a door for her.
Jeaniene FrostThe image I'd had of myself as a child was someone I'd never be, and it was only recently that I realized it was okay to be who I was. - Cat
Jeaniene FrostSweet bleedinโ Christ,โ Bones interrupted. โTry not to let this turn you into a Ghost Whisperer, hmm? Adopting Fabian is one thing, but weโre already turning away spooks by the dozen. If you want another pet, weโll get you more cats.
Jeaniene FrostHearing that I'd come so close to dying should've terrified me, but all I could muster up was a weary "This day sucks.
Jeaniene FrostThe Broken Destiny series will be a trilogy, with each book releasing about a year apart.
Jeaniene FrostA hint of a frown touched his mouth. โI told you that wasnโt about feeding.โ โNo, it was about you making your point.โ I skewered a bite and chewed. โNext time, maybe use something other than my jugular as your Exhibit A?
Jeaniene FrostSince this was a formal undead gathering, there would be foodโall kindsโdrinks, dancing, and festivities, while those in power pondered whether or not to slaughter half the people around them. In other words, like a high-school prom.
Jeaniene FrostI told you once before,โ I said, the words husky from remembrance. โEveryone holds their sins close to their skin.โ Fangs gleamed for an instant before Vlad bit into his wrist, pooling up two deep crimson holes. โThen come,โ he said, holding it out. โAnd taste mine.
Jeaniene FrostIf anyone other than you had me fly halfway around the world just to keep me waiting while you were obviously lingering in bed, Iโd have my driver run them over. Twice.
Jeaniene FrostBubbles. On a scale of one to ten, a bubble bath has to rank zero as far as things I'd expect an older-than-dirt-badass vampire to indulge in. The only thing that would surprise me more would be if you pulled out a rubber ducky. -Kira to Mencheres
Jeaniene FrostNow I am short on some props, and there isn't nearly enough time in one night to run through all the ways I've fantasized about taking you, but I promise you this..." His voice deepened, "You'll be scandalized in the morning when you can think again.
Jeaniene FrostCharlie whistled "Amazing Grace" as he drove. It was all I could do not to whip my head around and snap, Are you kidding me? Couldn't he pick something more appropriate, like "Shout at the Devil" or "Don't fear the Reaper"? Some people had no sense of the proper music for a kidnapping.
Jeaniene FrostNow that was informative" were her first words. "Catherine, you never told me that no matter how many times you sliced something off a vampire, it grew back" Charming, "Guess I don't have to ask if you had a nice time.
Jeaniene FrostYou 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.
Jeaniene FrostGretchen shrugged. "After seeing how he acted when she almost died, I'm starting to get why she's with him." Then her voice hardened. "And really, Leila. That's twice now.
Jeaniene FrostI wanted you to watch, so I stomped around the room to wake you before I got in the shower. Didn't you wonder why the light was on? It wasn't for me, I can see in the dark. And then I kept the water cold so the glass wouldn't fog.
Jeaniene FrostHave you met my boyfriend?โ There. That was a doozy. His eyes narrowed, and his lips thinned into a tight line. Yep, Noah was a mood kill for both of us.
Jeaniene FrostI dare because I want no misunderstanding between us. I am everything you think I am, but I love your daughter, and what I love, I protect with all of the violence in me, which, as you've guessed, is considerable.
Jeaniene FrostThen I went to the morgue and saw that those bones weren't yours, heard your voice again in my head" -his eyes closed- "and once more, nothing else mattered.
Jeaniene FrostWe are not helpless...Many times in our lives weโve been powerless, but not this night. Right now we have the power to choose the manner in which we die. If you have been a master of nothing else in all your days, you are now a master of this moment. And I for one am going to give such an answer to this insult that others will dearly regret not being by my side to see it!
Jeaniene FrostI just elbowed the pretty blonde he'd been speaking to aside and slapped my panties on his chest. "As soon as I saw you", I purred, "I knew I wouldn't be needing these"!
Jeaniene FrostIโve heard the expression climbing walls, but I never thought Iโd experience it, let alone like that,โ she murmured, her mouth curling into what was probably a dreamy smile.
Jeaniene FrostI canโt believe you bit me there,โ she finally said. โBut what I really canโt believe is how it felt.โ A smile curved his lips. โThere are perks to being a vampire. That is one of them. Iโll enjoy showing you the others.
Jeaniene FrostIt must be important or he wouldn't dare disturb me now,โ he muttered. Then he drew away to look at me. โIf it's not, I'll kill him and return to you directly.
Jeaniene FrostKilling your rival doesnโt guarantee happiness. Sometimes it ruins any chance you have of it instead. Memories of dead men hold far more power than the annoyances of living ones.
Jeaniene FrostMencheres. 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!
