Should I be insulted that you’re so eager to enjoy another man’s pork? I leaned out of the bathroom, toothbrush mid-swipe, and grinned. Ethan Sullivan, did you just make a joke? He hadn’t, at least fr...

Not bad for a ‘common soldier,’ hmm? I quietly asked, then resheathed my katana and headed back toward the chapel. I could feel his gaze on my back as I walked away, so I decided to play it up. I paus...
My job is to ensure the sanctity of this House. Ensuring the sanity of its Master seemed like a good start.
Much to my dismay—and that rang clear in the irritably flat tone of his voice—I find I have a sudden taste for stubborn, lithe brunettes with horrible fashion sense.
Merit. Have you finally decided to ditch the zero and get with the hero? Ethan cleared his throat—loudly—while I bit back a smile. I didn’t see anything wrong with reminding Ethan that I had other opt...
Let’s get on with this. I am seriously in need of a beer and a Lifetime movie.
I’m an asset, I said remorsefully. If he gets pissed, it’s because you’ve endangered his weapon. Merit, if you really believe that, I have been giving you way too much credit. His expression was serio...
In case you’ve forgotten, Ethan Sullivan trained me. And in case you didn’t know, Catcher Bell schooled me in sword craft. I was raised on ‘difficult to work with.

I hated him at first, she said. And I think you did, too. He was overbearing, and he didn’t sympathize with your situation. And then you let yourself be vulnerable, and then he invited another girl to...
I called the Ops Room, hoping to get Luc, and possibly Ethan, on the phone. Jimmy’s House of Vampires, Luc answered, in a really poor Bronx accent.
I believe there’s something you’ll need, Sentinel. Ethan slid from his chair, dropped to one knee on the carpet. My mind had to race to keep up, but my heart pounded madly. Ethan looked up at me, grin...
I arched an eyebrow at her.She made an awful sound. God, you're already Mrs. Sullivan.
I am, apparently, Darth Sullivan, he said, lifting a corner of bread to stuff the tomato back in. I understand that building things, Death Stars or otherwise, isn't my particular strength.
