Trent sighed, visibly bothered at my admittedly childish behavior, but I was hot, damn it, and needed money, and therefore I was vulnerable to his bribes and his air-conditioned car.
Trent looked me up and down. Is that all you’re going to do? My pulse quickened, and I gazed at the front of the basilica where the scratching was coming from. I might have a snack later if nothing co...
Trent dropped his head for an instant, then pulled it up to me. You aren’t a demon practitioner? he asked as we took the first steps up. I put a hand to my stomach, wondering if this day could get any...
To the guy who finishes my sentences and gets my jokes. Even the lame ones.
Tink's a Disney whore!- Jenks
Ticked, I looked across the street to the Starbucks catering to uptown snits who needed sixty different ways to brew a bean in order to not be happy with any of them.
The seraph looked up, and pain sliced through my head as our eyes met, almost blinding me. I honor you. You can do something I cannot, it said softly. For all I am and all I have been, you are human....
The quickest way to a woman's crotch is through her gullet. Can I make you a cake? Big Al to Pierce, then Rachel.
The former world leader snarled at me when he found his balance. My face went cold, and I wondered if I’d fare better in the circle with Al.

Sweet mother of chaos, he breathed. Rachel, you are indeed one of us. Have your time in the sun. You're worth the extra wait.
Such a pretty pair you make, like matched horses in my stables.
So that’s why Ivy always used canvas bags . It wasn’t because she was especially eco-minded. They were quiet.

Rachel, came a raspy voice from the upper level, and both Trent and I turned. It was Quen, wrapped in a blanket as if it was a death shroud, the black-haired intern at his side, supporting him. His ha...
Past him was Trent, a tired look on his face. Holding my borrowed shawl close, I watched Jonathan as I slid out. Why, thank you, Jon, I said brightly, you freaking bastard.Trent ducked his head, hidin...
Okay, I said, resettling myself and looking up.You need the thrill of danger flitted through my mind, and I quashed it.
