Dirty Lying Sirens Quotes

“If the allure of me does not sway you, the call of the sea might.”

“Madeline wasn't human.
There were suspicions when I first heard her voice. A voice that could move mountains and shake the seas, if only she knew how to use it properly. Now that I'd had a full-fledged conversation with her, I knew it for sure.
Madeline was a siren.
Fuck, she looked the part too. Every part of her was soft curves; those big doe eyes coupled with her unchecked power had undoubtedly been the downfall of more than a few unwitting partners. The way her lips parted when she was surprised was too enticing, and I had to keep my hands in my pockets so I wouldn't reach out to touch them. What would she look like if I slipped my thumb between those lips?
The image of her sucking on it, looking up at me through those soft, dark lashes was too dangerous to dwell on. A siren will do that to you--- drive you mad with want, and I wasn't going to fall for that.
But I was going to get her back to Atlantis, where she deserved to be worshipped with her sisters.”

“But Caspian, he just said he'd heard others like me before, and he even had a name for it. It took me a minute, but I wanted to know more despite the flare of panic over discussing my voice.

“We live on the water, with the water," he continued. "The island has the most beautiful beaches you've ever seen. Almost everything on the island is built from white stone."
Fair enough. He looked like the island type, standing there barefoot in the sand with his sun-kissed complexion. He paused, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "And the sea, we crave it. We live it, we breathe it. We wouldn't leave it if we didn't have to.”

“I left the apartment to clear my head at the place that had drawn me all the way down here to begin with: the beach.
With every step that brought me closer to the sand, my heart lifted. The salt in my lungs, the boats on the horizon as they bobbed in and out of view, and the glistening waves beckoned me. If only I could just sail away from the shore and leave my problems behind.”

“Outside my window a pair of seagulls called. Probably looking for food to steal, the little bastards. Their cries made me think of the ocean, and in that split second, I was okay. I took a deep, calming breath. The ocean. It always evened out my mood. My own little magical place filled with peace.”

“Caspian was absolutely my type--- dark hair and broad shoulders, a clear olive-toned complexion, and a hint of a toned figure under the shirt that clung to him thanks to the spilled coffee.”

“He had a strange accent. It wasn't heavy, but it was definitely there, and I liked it. A bit husky, one of those naturally low, seductive voices that should be illegal to use on poor, unsuspecting girls in need of double-pump vanilla lattes.”
