“You wanted some space from me after last night?”
(…)
“No space between us, love.” His voice was soft, melodic, but his expression was fierce. Determined. Dominant. “Do you understand?”

“If someone had told me I’d let a guy teach me to drive after he’d once hit me with his car, I’d have told them they’d lost their damn mind.”

“I can’t do this.”
“You can.”
“I might wreck your car.”
“It’s insured.”
“I’m scared.”
“I’m here for you.”
I half-laughed, half-whined at that. “You’re insane.”

“Maybe we’re blood-mates.”

Annnnnnd there it is. Can’t forget the soulmate trope. We might get withdrawals.

“I was melting into a pool of lust and need and willing female.”

Hah. Ahahaha.
What.

“I didn’t understand why he needed to know if I was on the pill since we’d been protecting with condoms.”

oH, i WoNdeR
Jesus Christ, Cross. Laying it on a little thick there, aren’t we?

“The fact that she was possibly the most selfless woman I’d ever met amplified my obsession. She hid from the world, doing her good deeds without the need for notice or praise.”

Isa: displays basic human decency
Dev: “what a selfless, philanthropic angel”

“her slick cleft”

jail

“Maybe I need to try a vampire next on Zapp and see for myself.”

🎉🎉

“You have such bad taste in men, Charlie.”
“Oh, do I now?” He chuckled as if to a private joke. “Well, Patrick and I have gone out three times, and so far he hasn’t even tried to chop me up and put me in his trunk, so he might possibly be a keeper.”

Not the side characters being the best part of this experience

“He was so much older than me it was terrifying. Though I looked to be in my early twenties, I was thirty-seven.”

You mean to tell me that sis is coming up on 40 and still can’t talk about sex stuff without using euphemisms??

I reached a hand up and tugged on a strand framing her face. “All wild and chaotic.”
She laughed, the sound lassoing around my midsection and squeezing with delight. “That is so not like me.”
“No, it’s not,” I agreed. “Except in bed,” I couldn’t help murmuring close to her ear.

genteel lady in the streets, wild sex vixen in the sheets 🤭🤡

“I’d liked my other boyfriends. They were nice guys. But sex with them was none of the things I experienced last night. It was just another release. It didn’t make me feel vulnerable. It didn’t make me feel feelings. But Devraj—sigh—he so did.”

Did she just use “sigh” as an onomatopoeia in her internal dialogue-

“‘Isadora’
I was begging her, but I didn’t know what for. For more of this? To put me out of my misery? To kill me now so I’d die the happiest of men?”

“The sensation of skin sliding against hot skin urged me to get her inside me. Now!”

Say that again… but slowly

It should be a federal crime for anyone to say the phrase “that perfect penis”

“That won’t fit, love.”

Oh stfu and put on the condom

“I’d like to take you up on your offer,” I said with as much confidence as I could manage. “On a one-night stand. Well, not a whole night. Just one time. Or one sitting really.”

Ugh. Imma need a drink for this.

“I don’t mean to pry.”
“Yes, you do,” she said with a tilt of the head and a casual smile.

“Cars are dangerous.”

🤨 that’s it?? That’s what all the fuss is about?

“One smile, and I was devastated. Lost. Swimming in an ocean of what-the-fuck.”

“The thing was, I wasn’t the prettiest or the edgiest or the most glamorous of my sisters. I liked my green eyes, but I had blond lashes, which meant, because I chose not to wear makeup most the time, I didn’t dazzle the menfolk much with them. I liked my body, too, though I had smaller breasts than even Clara and not many curves to speak of at all. As the tallest, I was more legs than anything else.”

I-
… nvm

“Violet could be merciless with embarrassing things like our neighbor vamp receiving my vibrator by mistake.”

Cross def forgot that the postman is supposed to be tight with the Savoie’s

“Have dinner with me.” 
I blew out a sigh. “No. Give me back my package.”

If he was ugly, she’d have already filed for a restraining order by now

“If you must know, I don’t particularly like you.” 
“Everybody likes me.”

Said every douchebag ever

“Chuckling, I flipped it back over to read the vibrator’s name. Some lucky lady was obviously going to miss out on nine modes of vibration to take her to ecstasy. I lifted the brown box it was packaged in and read the name and address.
My smile fell.
Isadora Savoie.”

You mean to tell me that Miss “I Don’t Need No Man” didn’t already have a vibrator?

“She wore no masks of any kind and a no-nonsense attitude with pride. There was no artifice to her at all. Living in a world where everyone around me had mastered the art of deception, I couldn’t help but find her compelling. A strange creature I hadn’t met before. One whose forthright and honest outlook made me want to stop and take note. To look. And linger.”

…. is this mf fr rn? 💀💀

“Nice try, but glamour doesn’t work on me.”

Ok, #1… are we just gonna brush off the fact that he essentially tried to mind-control her into agreeing to a date after she refused?

#2
Not even 20% in and we’ve established that Isadora
- hates parties
- is shy
- introverted
- allegedly socially awkward
- mysteriously immune to vampire glamour??

Cross still hasn’t moved on from her Not Like Other Girls phase, I see

“Though I was particular about the make and model of my cars, I wasn’t attached to any of them. I’d sold my Maserati Alfieri in Paris and bought the Lamborghini from a seller in Boston and drove it down here.”

So far, Devraj is:
- charming
- filthy rich
- The Strongest Vampire to ever Vampire™️
- A former Bollywood legend
- A walking wet dream

Are we supposed to clap, or…?

“I finally, finally, lifted the stained part to my nose and inhaled deep.
Utterly. Divine.
Abort. Bad decision. Very bad decision.”

Ok, Edward

“The honor of taking Zosia apart was reserved solely for Marynka.”

*wink*

Sorry, this is ya. I’ll behave.
;)
