The Complete Kit Davenport Series

To harm the only Ban Dia with access to restorative magic would be... well, stupid doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what

that’d be.”

“He was one of the unfortunate ones born to a plagued family, already severed from the magical world despite being a pure-blooded Mage.

“It was a spell, and you just broke it. I didn’t know your kind could do that, but it’s certainly handy to know.”

“Hey, baby girl, stick with me. You just need a recharge, right?”

“You think I didn’t notice the smoking ring of fucking Mage runes that you just appeared in?”

Given my history with strangely prophetic dreams, seeing visions of things that were happening elsewhere wasn’t a total shock.

I’d never experienced anything like that while awake before,

A whimsical, almost watercolor image of a red fox danced up the front of my hip, her back paws starting dangerously close to the bend of my thigh. The fox was chasing what looked like butterflies, with a multitude of little butterflies extending up the side of my belly and six bigger, more distinct butterflies, that I knew without asking represented my six dianoch.

“Right here, the space between butterflies spells A-U-S-T-I-N. Babe, he tattooed his name on you.”

“Don’t worry about me, dragă,”

“I might like to push his buttons a little, but I know, as my dragon does, that he is the true leader of your dianoch.”

I think I will have a lot of fun with him over the next millennia by your side.”

He always seemed to know exactly what I needed, even before the whole dianoch bond.

Of course Austin has his dick pierced. I’m not even surprised… but good god I’m as wet as hell wondering what it’s going to feel like inside me.

seeing for the first time, an enormous fucking Bengal tiger sitting on its haunches beside Austin.

“That’s...”

“My familiar,”

“He’s not a real tiger. He’s a manifestation of my magic. Familiars are the stuff of legends; that’s why Cal is losing his shit right now. The last Mage who was ever said to have had one died around a thousand years ago.”

“Regina mea,”

“It means ‘my Queen’ in Romanian,”

I badly didn't want to lose my insight into Christina's feelings. So much so that I was waiting as long as possible before teaching her how to turn it off.

“Aus always did love tiger lilies.”

“I bet you can’t teach me everything I need to know in a week,”

“You’re on,”

“If you lose, you have to be my slave for a week.”

“Fine, but if you lose... I get to tattoo you with ...

I’d practically fallen in love with the minx the second she stepped out on that stage at Onyx Auction. I’d known instantly that she was who had broken the years of silence from my brother.

the law it was laughable. But what the fuck did I care? I considered this one of my last acts as Romanul, flouting the law, but deep down I knew I’d always do what was needed to protect my family. Because that was what I had now... with Kit and Cole... and all the other guys. We were a family now, whether they knew it or not. And I would do anything to keep them safe.

He clearly had so much more he wanted to do, and I couldn’t wait for the day we were no longer on the run and he could unleash the beast... so to speak.

The way he was post-sex, he was like a totally different person. Relaxed and content. Alpha was sexy as hell, but this River was who I was in love with.

“I love you, River. Knowing you better only serves to make me love you more.

“If it helps, I truly don’t think you will have many feelings to manage from Cole. Before meeting you, I could have sworn he had the emotional depth of a cucumber.”

Either way, he was my cucumber and I loved him.

“You’re the first of our kind to surface in the human realm for a very long time. The higher-ups are worried you’ll make a mess of things,

He didn’t move from the spot where he stood in front of me. Instead, he just cocked his head to the side, and his eyes unfocused from mine for the briefest second before refocusing.

“She’s on her way.”

“Did you just like... mind-speak o...

“You can’t do that? With your bonded guar...

“Besides,”

“I may have been slipping a little something into his tea to ensure he’d return each night.”

Everything can die if the right weapon is used. For us, it’s our dianoch. They’re the only things on this planet that can end our lives, just as we can extend theirs.”

so even without the bond, he would have had the power to kill you. If he’d gotten a whiff of your magic-soaked blood and not been able to control the magic, he’d have torn you into confetti then licked up the remains.”

I truly believe she was magic doping him to keep him compliant. That’s one of the things that has me most concerned. It’s a huge violation of magic to do that without someone’s knowledge...”

Don’t trust anyone outside your dianoch. Not even me.”

River’s careful control was a wild turn-on for me, but so was Vali’s blatant disregard for River’s rules.

If I hadn’t already been pretty positive Vali wasn’t the sharing kind of guy, I’d kill to get them both in bed at the same time.

Vali pointed up to a large tree overhanging the parking lot as we pulled out. It wasn’t far from where we’d been fucking, and sitting on a branch staring at us was a very intelligent-looking crow.

“Uh, so in all the confusion after we bonded, with your magic trying to tear you to pieces and then Vic showing up, we sort of didn’t notice my familiar had shown up.”

it turns out that because I’m scared of him... well, he’s scared of me too. Or all humans.”
