― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“You’ve got a fucking nerve,” Ryan snarls. “She almost died in the woods after you fucked off. After you led her into danger and then swanned off somewhere when things got a bit tricky.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“I blink and they’re gone.
It's as if they never existed, as if the vicious hatred and the nightmare they contained were nothing more than a figment of my imagination. A dream I dreamt in an illusion of reality. A catastrophe I imagined and a horror I never endured.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“I step forward, unsure but certain of my choice.
It’s binary.
To act or not. To run or not. To let others control my fate or to determine it myself. To show strength or choose weakness. To command and control or acquiesce and submit.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“Henry smirks as he leans against the doorway to the walk-in closet, showing me every goddamn muscle in his abdomen. Drops of water drip down his body and catch on his towel, which hides anything else I might be interested in.
His body’s perfect, and the asshole knows it. He isn’t tanned, but it doesn’t matter. His bright blue eyes still dazzle and his blond hair matches mine. He’s strong, muscular and lean. Fucking perfect—and a complete wanker.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

I won’t feel guilty.
I hate she’s making me regret this.”

“Fuck, she’s stunning.
More than that, she’s magnificent.
She’s brave and smart. Cunning and quick. She’s more beautiful inside than out, and I want to peel all her layers back. I want to know her in her bones, feel her every thought or emotion. I’m desperate to know every curve and line of her body and how every inch of her tastes.
I want her, and it’s dangerous.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“I can do this.” I stare up at my bedroom ceiling. “I will survive this.”

“Power that’s a quiet scream of determined rage that will not succumb and won’t surrender. It won’t bow or break, and it’s not going quietly into this or any other night. It's the cry of a thousand lost souls. It’s the anger of the masses and the rage of the oppressed. It’s the voice that speaks up, that stands up. The line drawn in the sand that only fools dare to step across. It’s the righteous silence that refuses to cower, and it’s as potent as any poison and as destructive as any weapon.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“There’s nothing left but hope and prayers, but both burn brightly and the light of faith is hard to extinguish. It’s the butterfly that breezes through a war zone, the birdsong after an earthquake. It’s the life raft keeping me afloat in the stormy seas threatening to drag me under, and I cling on, refusing to let go of the hope keeping me afloat.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“I said no.”

It's been a fucking long time since anyone's openly defied me. I'm not sure whether to admire her courage or rage against her stupidity. I'm confused. Unsure. It's a puzzling experience and I dislike my discomfort.

Her bottom lip trembles and my gaze is drawn to the flickering pulse in her neck. It's fluttering far too rapidly and the smell of her fear makes my cock rock hard.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“She’s a fucking weakness in every way and I adore her because of it. I’ve never wanted anyone or anything as much and it’s so damn tempting to leap over the desk between us and claim her.
I’d be gentle if she’d let me be.
I’d give her a moment to accept me. Then I’d fuck her until she screamed my name and lost her goddamn mind in the pleasure I’d give her.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“Gods, she’s fucking perfect. I hoped she wouldn’t be. I hoped I’d find salvation in some flaw. But there’s no escape and I hate that I can’t bear the thought of losing her. We met two minutes ago, we haven’t said a word and I’m devoted.

Inextricably devoted.

And it’s disgustingly nice.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness

“I want her.
I fucking need her.
I hate her but I can’t be
without her.

It’s been seconds and I’m resisting the urge to fuck her on my desk and damn the consequences.”
― C.J. Holmes, A Debt of Darkness
