    This wasn't happening.
    "I worry about you." He dipped his head and looked into my eyes. "I worry something stupid will happen and I won't be there and you'll be gone. I worry we won't ever get a chance and it's driving me out of my skull."
    No, no, no, no.........
    We stared at each other. The tiny space between us felt too hot. Muscles bulged on his naked frame. He looked feral.
    Mad gold eyes stared into mine. "Do you miss me, Kate?"
    I closed my eyes trying to shut him out. I could lie then we would be back to square one. Nothing would be resolved. I'd still be alone, hating him and wanting him.
    He grabbed my shoulders and shook me once. "Do you miss me?"
    I took the plunge. "Yes.”
    Ilona Andrews, Magic Bleeds

    The shit’s gonna splatter, start buggin’, yo,” Mencheres responded instantly.
     
    I stared at him, then burst out laughing, which was highly inappropriate considering the very grave warning he’d just conveyed.”
