I'm working on copy edits for ASHES OF ANGELS today, and I just love this little exchange...
"Hi, honey, I'm home," the angel said. "What took you so long?" Cassandra spit. The vampire still held her by a shoulder, but if he twisted farther to look at the angel… "Sorry. I had to shake a car off my wings." "Your wings?" the vampire asked. "What, are you some kind of faery?" The angel straightened his shoulders and narrowed his eyes. "I say wings, and your first guess is faery?" He shook his head and made a come-and-get-me gesture with the fingers wrapped around the Taser. The vampire released Cassandra and turned to the angel in time to catch the Taser's copper hooks with his thighs. Sam preened over the powerful device and nodded. "This is nice. I gotta get one of these for myself." The vampire ripped out the hooks from his legs and growled. "Try again, you bloody faery." "You shouldn't use foul language in front of a lady." Tucking the Taser into a back pocket, the Fallen then held up a palm, fingers tight together, and pointed them toward the vampire. "You ready for this?" "Ready for—" The angel shoved his spaded fingers through the vampire's chest, pulled him forward, and slapped his spasming body onto the ground.
