J.R. Ward Quote

Lassiter skidded in from the billiards room, the fallen angel glowing from his black-and-blond hair and white eyes, all the way down to his shitkickers. Then again, maybe the illumination wasn’t his nature, but that gold he insisted on wearing. He looked like a living, breathing jewelry tree. I’m here. Where’s my chauffeur hat? Here, use mine, Butch said, outing a B Sox cap and throwing it over. It’ll help that hair of yours. The angel caught the thing on the fly and stared at the red S. I’m sorry, I can’t. Do not tell me you’re a Yankees fan, V drawled. I’ll have to kill you, and frankly, tonight we need all the wingmen we’ve got. Lassiter tossed the cap back. Whistled. Looked casual. Are you serious? Butch said. Like the guy had maybe volunteered for a lobotomy. Or a limb amputation. Or a pedicure. No fucking way, V echoed. When and where did you become a friend of the enemy— The angel held up his palms. It’s not my fault you guys suck— Tohr actually stepped in front of Lassiter, like he was worried that something a lot more than smack talk was going to start flying. And the sad thing was, he was right to be concerned. Apart from their shellans, V and Butch loved the Sox above almost everything else—including sanity.
