“No,” he says, pointing at me as he shifts backward again. “Bad Juliette. You don’t like to kill people, remember? You're against that, remember? You like to talk about feelings and rainbows—”

Warner steps so close to me I’m actually afraid to move. "you once accused me of not knowing the meaning of love," he says. “But you were wrong. You fault me, perhaps, for loving you too much.” His eyes are so intense. So green. So cold. “But at least I do not deny my own heart.”

"If the last few weeks have shown you anything, it should be that I don’t run from truth, no matter how hard it is or what it costs.”

"Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures.

I have not forgotten. "I forge forward or die."

"Tears never did anyone any favours, but sometimes they just needed to fall."

“You can hate me all you want when you wake up. You can scream, hit, throw your fucking daggers at me for all I care, but you have to live. You can’t make me fall for you and then die. None of this is worth it without you.”

"There is no me without you."

"His eyes flare, then he kisses me like I'm the air he's been missing, like his life depends on it, and I think mine just might."

"Tell me to stop,” he whispers, his thumb skimming the hypersensitive skin of my inner thigh.

"There's nowhere in existence you could go that I wouldn't find you, Violence."

“I always fucking want you.” He groans as I squeeze. Then he lifts his head, seizes my gaze with his, and I recognize the wild need in those gold-flecked depths. It mirrors my own. “You walk into a room, and I can’t look away. I get anywhere near you, and this is what happens. Instantly hard. Fucking hell, I can barely think when you're around.”

"my world narrows to this kiss, this minute, this man. Mine. In this moment, Xaden Riorson is mine."

"I could live forever in this tiny slice of insanity if it means keeping his mouth on mine."

“What changed between Parapet and now?" Dain asks again, a wealth of emotions in his eyes that i can't begin to interpret. Well. except the feat. That doesn’t need any interpretation. “Me.”

“Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable, but you're really a violent little thing, aren’t you?”

"Damn it. I don’t want to find a single thing about Xaden Riorson admirable, and yet here he is, being all annoyingly admirable. Asshole."
