Mari's Mistake (Icehome, #10)

by Ruby Dixon

"That is an excellent idea. You are clever, R'jaal." "I know," he says smugly. "You should listen to me more often."

"Jesus Christ, remind me that I can't choke her to death?" "You cannot choke her to death," Raahosh says in an equally flat voice.

Oh Liz 😆

"I still want what we have," T'chai tells me. "Even if it is broken. Even if it stays broken forever. Because half a mating with my lovely, determined Mari is better than a lifetime alone."

"I was trying to find a way to make it easier for you." "Easier. Bah. Who said I wished for easier?"

"You have faced down everything to protect me when I was helpless. So tell me again that you are not brave, and I will tell you once more that you lie."
