“Right, well, vampires are about as real as your boobs.” Sophie’s mouth formed the shape of an O as she clutched her chest. “How dare you insult my girls. They’re real.” “I drove you to the surgery.” “They’re enhanced, not fake.” She grinned. “Like vampires.”

“Rule number one: obey your sire. Your life is in his hands until you’re trained.” “Obey my what?” Gripping the edge of the mattress, she chose her words carefully. “Back up a minute, Christian Grey. I don’t know what kind of kink you’re into, but Jane Anderson obeys no one. Got it?”

“Fantastic. It’s just my luck to get turned into a vampire by an Edward Cullen wannabe who has Captain Jack Sparrow as his mentor.”

“Thank the l—lady next door. Every time he touched me, I wanted to rip his clothes off. That’ll go away now?” Surprise widened Ethan’s eyes, and a bit of a blush reddened his cheeks. How cute. Wait a minute. She wasn’t supposed to be feeling attraction to him anymore.

“I’m a master of words, Ethan, and they go a long way. But real emotional connections between people happen because of actions. You can’t change the past, but you can decide, right now, to change your future.”
