“Yelena, you've driven me crazy. You've caused me considerable trouble and I've contemplated ending your life twice since I've known you...but you slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart.”
Maria V. Snyder, Poison Study“Flea stared at us, "I can't decide what's worse. Losing family members or not having a family member to lose.”
Maria V. Snyder, Touch of Power“But you've slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart.”
Maria V. Snyder, Poison Study“Valek was liquid in motion. As i watched him, one word came to mind: beautiful.”
Maria V. Snyder“Is there anything else you haven't told me?"My head spun. So much had happened and we still needed to stop a powerful magician. Death was a real possibility. I needed Valek to know how I felt."I love you"Valek wrapped me in his arms. "My love has been yours since the fire festival. If those goons had killed you, I knew then that I would never be the same. I didn't want or expect this. But I couldn't resist you.”
Maria V. Snyder“He pulled back on the bridle, stopping in disbelief. “Your love for him has damaged your senses.”“And your hunger for power has affected you intelligence”
Maria V. Snyder“How did you-"Fool your guards? They're not very good, the forgot to check the ceiling for spiders."Valek grinned. His angular face softened.”
Maria V. Snyder“Valek coalesced from the shadows and wrapped me in his long lean arms. I soaked in his musky smell, listening to his heart beat. Strong and steady. No indication that he had been sneaking around.”
Maria V. Snyder, Ice Study“Hasn’t stopped us before. And besides, if they wanted to kill us, we’d be dead by now and would be having an entirely different conversation. I wonder if I’d still be mad at you, or if we would talk in words or pictures. Maybe in smells. That would be cool.” -Janco”
Maria V. Snyder, Power Study“We don't take orders from you, Sergeant." Quain said. "Your man tried to assassi”
