    “Oh, dear God and baby Jesus in the manger, my eyes!” Dee shrieked. “My eyes!”
    My own eyes snapped open. Daemon lifted his head, eyes luminous. Then I realized my hands were still up his shirt. I yanked them out.
    “Oh my God,” I whispered, mortified.
    Daemon said something that burned my ears. “Dee, you didn’t see anything.” And then he added much lower, “Because you have impeccable timing.”
    “You were on…her and your mouths were doing this.” I could just imagine her hand signals at that point. She went on. “And that’s more than I want to see. Like, ever.”
    Jennifer L. Armentrout, Opal

    Wendy Higgins
    “You told some human kid?”
    I coughed, buying time. “He's Neph, too.”
    Jonathan LaGrey went rigid and his ruddy cheeks paled. I squirmed as his eyes bored into mine.
    “Which one's his father?” he asked through clenched teeth.
    “Richard Rowe. I guess you'd know him as Pharzuph.” Oh, boy. He wasn't pale anymore.
    “You came across the country—”
    “Shhh!” I warned him as people looked over. He lowered his voice to a shouted whisper.
    “—with the son of the Duke of Lust?! Son of a—”
    Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil

    “You promised to be on your best behavior,” I reminded him, breathless.
    You kissed me,” he growled. His voice had gone very deep.
    “Well, but you started it by kissing my neck.”
    “True. I hadn't planned that.” His sultry voice, paired with those blazing eyes, told me I needed to get away from him. I hurried to the end of the bed, where I jumped off and began to pace back and forth, yanking out my loose hairband and pulling my hair back into a tight ponytail. I tried hard not to think about the taste of his lips. I'd had my first kiss, and I'd never be the same.
    “Why did you stop?” he asked.
    “Because you were moving on to other things.”
    He scratched his chin and cheek. “Hmm, moved too quickly. Rookie mistake.”
    I crossed my arms again, watching him speculate internally like a coach outlining a play that had gone wrong. Incredible. Then he sized me up in his sights again.
    “But I can see you still want me.”
    I gave him my meanest stare, but it was hard to look at him. Gosh, he was hot! And a total player. The kiss meant nothing to him.
    “Oh,” he said with mock sadness, “there it goes. Mad instead? Well, sort of. You can't seem to muster a really good anger—”
    “Stop it!”
    “Sorry, was I saying that out loud?”
    “I can read people, too, you know. Well, not you, but at least I have the decency to try not to notice, to give them some sort of emotional privacy!”
    “Yes, how very decent of you.” He hadn't moved from his languid position on my bed.
    I leaned forward, grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him.
    “Pillow fight?” He raised an eyebrow.
    “Get off my bed. Please. I'm ready to go to sleep.”
    Wendy Higgins, Sweet Evil

    Cassandra Clare
    “What's this?" he demanded, looking from Clary to his companions, as if they might know what she was doing there.

    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Cassandra Clare
    “Mom. I have something to tell you. I’m undead. Now, I know you may have some preconceived notions about the undead. I know you may not be comfortable with the idea of me being undead. But I’m here to tell you that undead are just like you and me … well, okay. Possibly more like me than you.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

    Cassandra Clare
    “I was thinking about the first time I ever saw you," he said, "and how after that I couldn't forget you. I wanted to, but I couldn't stop myself. I forced Hodge to let me be the one who came to find you and bring you back to the Institue. And even back then, in that stupid coffee shop, when I saw you sitting on that couch with Simon, even then that felt wrong to me-- I should have been the one sitting with you. The one who made you laugh like that. I couldn't get rid of that feeling. That it should have been me. And the more I knew you, the more I felt it--it had never been like that for me before. I'd always wanted a girl and then gotten to know her and not wanted her anymore, but with you the feeling just got stronger and stronger until that night when you showed up at Renwick's and I knew.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

    Kiera Cass
    “America Singer, you get back here." He ran in front of me, wrapping an arm around my waist as we stood, chest to chest. "Tell me," he whispered. I pinched my lips together. "Fine, then I shall have to rely on other means of communication." Without any warning, he kissed me.”
    Kiera Cass, The Elite

    “Do you ever stop being so serious and dull?"

    But Lucien grinned at me. "Much better.”

    “I fell in love with you, smartass, because you were one of us—because you weren’t afraid of me, and you decided to end your spectacular victory by throwing that piece of bone at Amarantha like a javelin. I felt Cassian’s spirit beside me in that moment, and could have sworn I heard him say, ‘If you don’t marry her, you stupid prick, I will.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “I missed you every hour. And you know what the worst part was? It caught me completely by surprise. I'd catch myself just walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because I'd seen something that I wanted to tell you about or because I wanted to hear your voice. And then I'd realize that you weren't there anymore, and every time, every single time, it was like having the wind knocked out of me. I've risked my life for you. I've walked half the length of Ravka for you, and I'd do it again and again and again just to be with you, just to starve with you and freeze with you and hear you complain about hard cheese every day. So don't tell me why we don't belong together," he said fiercely.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone

    “He looks up at me with his night-colored eyes, beautiful and terrible all at once. “For a moment,” he says, “I wondered if it wasn’t you shooting bolts at me.”

    I make a face at him. “And what made you decide it wasn’t?”

    He grins up at me. “They missed.”
    Holly Black, The Wicked King
