I knew he would never leave me, never let me down-because the man had never abandoned anything in his long life. If I hadnโt taken the gold rope of our bond, I knew Adam would have sat on me and hog-tied me with it. I liked that. A lot.
Patricia BriggsI'm not threatening to kill myself. But you need to know this about me becauseโif you want to be my mateโI won't be like Leo. I won't let you sleep around with anyone else. I won't be forced either. I've had enough. If that makes me a dog in the manger, so be it. But if I am yours, then you damned well are going to be mine." - Anna to Charles
Patricia BriggsSee you tomorrow,โ he said, instead. โAll right.โ Then, impulsively, I asked, โDo you have a place to sleep tonight?โ โSure,โ he said with a smile, and started off as if he had somewhere to be. I could have bitten off my tongue because I pushed him into a lie. Once he started lying to me, it would be harder to get him to trust me with the truth. I donโt know why it works that way, but it doesโat least in my experience.
