Night Play Quotes

“I think infatuation is like a garden. If tended and cared for, it grows into love. If neglected or abused it dies. The only way to have eternal love is to never let your heart forget what it's like to live without it.
-Vane”

“I'm human," he said in a tormented tone. "And I'm not." He dropped his hand to her shoulder. "I never knew softness," he breathed. "Not until the moment you touched me in your store. My life is violent and dangerous. Its dark and twisted and no place for someone like you. I have more people wanting me dead than I can count. They will stop at nothing, and you.." He ground his teeth before he spoke again. "You'll never want again for anything in your life. I swear it on what little bit of human soul I have left.”

“So what do wolves do to date?” Nick asked.
“We don’t date,” Vane said. “When a woman is in season, we fight for her and then she picks who mounts her.”

“So let me see if I got everything straight … This … means that we are somehow meant to be husband and wife. But if I refuse you, you spend the rest of your life impotent and alone? But I, on the other hand, am free to live my life however I see fit?”

“It really sucks to be you, doesn’t it?”

“I need dating advice. Fast.”
Ash arched a single brow at that. “I’m useless. I’ve never been on one.”
The three human men turned to gape at him.
“What?” Ash asked them defensively.
Nick started laughing. “Oh man, this is priceless. Don’t tell me the great Acheron is a virgin?”
Ash gave him a droll look. “Yeah, Nick. I’m lily-white.”

“Fury wagged his tail and smiled wickedly, then tried to look up Bride’s dress.
Vane caught him quickly by the neck. “Stop!” he snarled mentally to Fury. “Or I’ll rip your head off.”
Bride frowned at them. “Don’t you like my wolf?”
“Yeah,” Van said, patting him roughly on the head. “He’s my new best friend.”
“I’m your only friend, dickhead.”
Vane balled his fist in the wolf’s fur as a warning to him. “You know you have to be firm with wolves. Let them know who the alpha is.”
“Your father?”
Vane smacked Fury’s head.
“Ow!””

“How does someone know the difference between that and infatuation?"
He sat up between her legs, then pulled her into his lap to cuddle. "I don't think there is a difference. I
think infatuation is like a garden. If tended and cared for, it grows into love. If neglected or abused it
dies. The only way to have eternal love is to never let your heart forget what it's like to live without it.”

“It's settled, then," Grace said. She turned back to Nick. "Take the Jag to the car wash and for heaven's sake clean the McDonald's Happy Meal boxes out of it."

"Hey," Nick said, his face offended. "That's a low blow. Those boxes are collectibles.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Night Play

“Just that sometimes we let other people treat us wrongly because we want to be loved and accepted so
badly that we'd do anything for it. It hurts when you know that no matter how much you try, how much
you want it, they can't love or accept you as you are. Then you hate all that time you wasted trying to
please them and wonder what about you is so awful that they couldn't at least pretend to love you." - Bride”

“He beat back the Greeks and reclaimed Rome for our people. Indeed, he was the one who destroyed the Macedonian threat and who single-handedly annihilated the greatest Greek general who had ever lived. Kyrian of Thrace.” Real hatred gleamed in his eyes, but she wasn’t sure who it was meant for. His grandfather or Kyrian.
“You mean Kyrian Hunter?” she asked. “The guy with the minivan who lives a few blocks over?”
Valerius’s eyes sparked at that. “He’s driving a minivan?” There was no mistaking the humor in his tone.”

“What would they talk about?

Hi, my name's Vane and I howl at the moon late at night in the form of a wolf. I sleep with your daughter and don't think I could live without her. Mind if I have a beer? Oh and while we're at it, let me introduce my brothers. This one here is a deadly wolf known to kill for nothing more than looking at him cross-eyed, and the other one is comatose because some vampires sucked the life out of him after we'd both been sentenced to death by our jealous father.

Yeah, that would go over like a lead balloon.”

“I don't want you skinny, Bride. I like you as you are." His breath tickled her neck as he spoke and sent heat all over her.

"And when given a choice between ribs and steak, I go for top choice every time.”
