Mikhail. Her voice was hesitant, as she chose her words carefully. I belong to myself. I’m a person, not something you can own. In any case, I live in the United States. I’m going back there soon and...
Mikhail, you can’t put me in a box or keep me on a shelf. She spoke as gently as she could.I will not argue over your safety. Earlier, you were alone with a man who thought of forcibly taking you. Any...
Mikhail would be going into a dangerous situation, and a part of her knew he needed most of the night to complete his tasks, but there was no sign of impatience in him. He appeared relaxed and enjoyin...
Mikhail watched as she snapped off her light, lay on the bed. He felt the stirring in his mind, the searching. Her question was tentative.At first he refused to answer, not liking that he needed this...
Listen, Sebastian, he whispered. That beautiful sound belongs to us for the rest for our lives. That's your mother. She's sunshine. No matter what happens in our lives, we have that.
Listen to me, my love, Raven murmured. Having a few friends and feeling affection for certain individuals of a race does not remove prejudice. You have lived with your abilities for so long you take t...
Lexi frowned again, a little distracted, trying to follow what they were all saying. She knew they were trying to divert her attention. She tried to remember who Uri Sorbacov was. He was the son of th...
Keep her still, Mikhail, Jacques encouraged. The wounds are closing, but she is still losing blood. Not much, and we can give her more blood in a couple of hours.Mikhail rested his cheek against her s...
Just when he knew he would walk into the sun without hesitation, he had been sent an angel. A slow smile softened his mouth. His angel refused to do anything he told her. She responded far better when...
Joley likes to be scared, and she can't watch them alone.I don't know how you can make that sound perfectly logical.
I’m glad someone besides myself gives him a hard time. He needs it, you know. All those people bowing and scraping. It’s not good for him. Her hands were freezing, so she shoved them into her pockets....
It took some time before he became aware of a faint shifting in power, a ripple of awareness, like a searching crystal, an eye opening in the earth beside them. They were not alone. The presence touch...
It is true. I did fall asleep at the wheel. We nearly went right off a cliff down into a gorge. But there were extenuating circumstances.Ian snickered. Are you going to pull out the cry-baby card? He...
It is not reasonable to presume an eighty-year-old mortal could survive an attack, Mikhail answered grimly.It is not logical to presume anything, Gregori reminded as he glided up onto the porch.
It burst out of him. Crude. But still. He couldn’t think with his blood thundering in his ears and roaring through his shaft. Her hands were doing wicked, sinful things
Is the rain getting the mud off of me?She tilted her head. A hint of laughter crept into her eyes. Actually it’s running down your face in a rather dramatic fashion. I think you’d even manage to scare...
In the eyes of my people, in the eyes of God, we are. There was an implacable resolve, a my-word-is-law, in his voice that set her teeth on edge.What about in my eyes, Mikhail? My beliefs? Do they cou...
In the chamber below the earth, Gregori roused himself several times, always on guard, always aware, asleep or awake, of those around him and the region surrounding them. In his mind he sought the chi...
