But I didn't put it back on after the Porters. It isn't a crisis of faith. I'm not sure I ever had faith, not the way Mom does. Mine is more like Dad's - I believe there is a God, and I believe in hon...
Brendan helped Rafe into the harness. It took a while, the process punctuated by Rafe’s questions. Then he stood at the base of the rock face, saying, You put your toes here, right? And you grab those...
Blast him, Ronan hissed as they surveyed the empty space behind the roadside shop. He may tell us not to treat him as a prince, but he cannot stop acting like one. He does as he pleases.Only when it's...
Bingo pup. It's a lesson best learned early. They're all afraid of us. He strolled over to Derek. You're trying to be a good kid, aren't you? You think that'll show them they're wrong. So how'd that w...
As they neared the spot from which the noise had come, Moria saw a hand lying on the pathway. It appeared to be attached to a body, which was a relief. Again, these days, one could not guarantee such...
As he drew up alongside me, he cocked one brow.You really that kiss don’t you? he said.No, I just want to see what you can really do.He smiled then, a blaze of a grin that made me forget I was hangin...
As I turned around, I felt another brushing sensation, this one not nearly as intense but even odder. My tail. It was off to the side and I couldn’t really get a good look at it. So how could I move--...
Are you mad because I didn’t take the kiss? It wasn’t an insult. I have every intention of cashing that check. Just not with all your friends watching.I appreciate that.Yeah? Another searching look. T...
Archangel or hound from hell . . . with Gabriel, it depends on the day.
And, having won thirty minutes of your time, I think I just gave you thirty minutes of reasons to run the other way as fast as you can.
And the bad guys love to pick on the defenseless necromancer. This time, though, I swear I won’t get kidnapped or possessed. ~Jaime Vegas
And now we can't, I said. Which sucks, but the main thing is that your dad's alive.He smiled, hesitant at first, then a blazing grin broke through that made my heart stop. I recovered and grinned back...
Absolutely alone in the dark. Every outside stimulus vanishes and there’s nothing except me in the darkness and the silence. I swear I can hear my thoughts. All my thoughts. And it’s horribly uncomfor...
A snarl, louder now, and I glanced over to see the dogs watching us. Two more came running from between the buildings.Holy hell, Corey whispered. Can we go now? Daniel said.Corey nodded and turned to...
A friend helps you move; a real friend helps you move a body.
You said there’s a road?I did. That part I’m sure of. And where there’s a road, there are people. In theory.The grin burst through. In theory.
You really think I’d let you go to school without me? I’d show up tomorrow and hear that I got pinned running from a cougar, only to be saved by you rushing in and staring him down.Um, yeah, that’s pr...
You really like that boy, he said. Rafael.Sure. I like him.A pause, as if that wasn’t the answer he wanted.I thought you didn’t date boys from school.I shrugged. There’s always a first time.More silen...
You like the chase, I said. But once you get a girl, you back off before you can collect the prize. Kind of missing the point, I think.Huh. You’re right. Tell you what, go out with me and you can show...
