“Trust. Such an easy word. Such an impossible quality.”

“I am not going to say you are right because I could not take it if you smirked."
"I do not smirk," Vikirnoff claimed.
"Yes, you do. And I detest that after all these centuries, you are making sense. Frankly, its scary."
"It is only that you are not making sense sunce you acquired a lifemate. I hope that does not happen to all men. It would be a shame."
"Your sense of humor is not improving," Nicolae pointed out dryly.
"I do not have a sense of humor." Vikirnoff answered.
"I had not noticed," Nicolae teased.”

“My heart is very much alive and in your hands. Do your best not to destroy it.
You are very lucky it isn't it my hands... The only thing I know to do with hearts is incinerate them!
Ouch!”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“There was a certain feminine satisfaction in having the last word, delivering her line smartly, and breaking the connection between them quickly and decisively.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Her heart was so full, she was afraid it might burst. She had never dared to dream she would have a home and a family. She had never conceived of having friends. Life might never be perfect, but she had Nicolae, and he would always understand those terrible moments when the memories crept out from behind the doors in her mind. He would be there to hold her and help her.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Gregori's eyebrows lifted as if he were reading her mind and he glanced firefly at his lifemate. I do not think my considerable charm has worked on her.
Savannah looked at him lovingly, her fingers sliding through his hair. "I know you can do this, Gregori." She spoke aloud to encourage Destiny. Gregori didn't need her encouragement. You forgot to smile, she told him. I have mentioned on more than one occasion that smiling is considered important in public relations. I fear I'll never manage to get that through your head.”

“Did you think I came to watch the movie?" He sounded amused.
"Well . . . yes.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“His hands went to the front of her blouse and her heart began to pound. "Nicolae, this really is a good movie."
"Is it?" he murmured, clearly distracted.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“You're very good-looking," she said judiciously, tilting her head to study his magnificent physique. "Are all Carpathians as good-looking as you?"
His black eyebrows arched. "I do not think that is a safe subject for you.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“He looks at me." She lifted her chin belligerently, silently daring MaryAnn to laugh.
If MaryAnn's eyebrow could have risen any higher it would have reached her hairline. Her mouth twitched, and she hastily bit the end of her pen. "Oh, my. The bastard.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“I think this might feel like my first one-night stand."
"One-night stand? I am offended. You planned to use me and throw me away after one night, did you? I am not that kind of man, Destiny. I am in for the long term. Eternity. You slept with me. It would be wrong of you to toss me out.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Destiny knew exactly where she was. Home. And home lay beside her, his body curved protectively around hers. Her bottom fit snugly into the cradle of his hips, and she could feel him, already awake, already aware, his body hard and aggressive, even as he lay so quietly. His hand cupped her breast possessively, yet he was still, savoring just waking up and holding her. Nikolae. Her everything.
He moved then. His mouth on her shoulder, his lips soft as he feathered kisses over her skin. I thought you would never wake up.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“You're crazy, you know that?" She gave an exaggerated sigh as she shoved him toward Gregori. Her heart was pounding like crazy, but she would not allow him to suffer because she was a coward.
"In case you are wondering what that meant," Nikolae explained to the others, "Destiny is showing me her affection and complete devotion."
"It sounds familiar to me," Savannah laughed. "Don't worry, Destiny, he's in good hands. Gregori goes around looking intimidating and mean because in the old country the mothers scared their children by telling them stories of the dark one. He liked the image and cultivated it."
Gregori flexed his broad shoulders, and muscles rippled impressively across his body. His expression didn't change. "It always helps when I wish to intimidate Savannah's father.”

“Go out the same way you came in," Father Mulligan pleaded. "Just one more time, for me."
Destiny glanced at Nicolae, who raised an eyebrow at her. His lips twitched with suppressed laughter. Together they melted into vapor, then rushed out beneath the small crack in the door while the priest laughed delightedly.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Nikolae. It always came back to him. His thoughtfulness. His attention to detail. For some reason, the thought made Destiny blush wildly and she had to duck her head to conceal her thoughts from the priest. There was no concealing them from Nikolae.
Details are important, he agreed in his black velvet voice, implying all sorts of things.
Lightning is going to strike you if you keep that up in front of a holy man.
Let us go where I am much safer, then.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Father Mulligan sat up with a start, clutched dramatically at his heart as he glared at them. "Do you go through walls? You nearly killed me coming in like that."
Destiny looked instantly repentant. "I'm so sorry, Father. I thought you were really asleep. I should have been more careful."
"His heart rate did not even rise," Nikolae pointed out. "He should be an actor, not a priest."
Father Mulligan grinned mischievously, looking for all the world like a small boy. "I did rather well in the school plays when I was a young lad, much to my father's chagrin. He thought acting a perfect sin. I was expecting you two this evening."
"We would have come earlier but we have been looking into the strange, unnatural behavior of your parishioners. Are you certain the wine you are serving is not a bad one?" Nicolae inquired with a straight face. "All of them do attend this church."
"I hadn't thought of that," Destiny agreed, glaring accusingly at the priest.
"You two are treading quite close to blasphemy," Father Mulligan warned, attempting to look severe. His eyes were twinkling merrily, ruining his credibility as an actor.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Have you been hanging out with Father Mulligan again? He's always handing out that two-cent advice of his."
"He only charged you two cents? He made me fill his poor box," Nicolae said, straight-faced. "And he didn't offer a single word on marriage. He just said to have courage, whatever that meant."
Destiny burst out laughing. "The old fraud, he probably said that on purpose just to make me crazy.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Is something romantic playing at the theater? I will take you there. We could have an interesting time in the back row in a dark corner.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Let's just say robbing a bank is beginning to look like a way out."
Destiny leaned onto the desk with both elbows and propped up her chin in her palm. "I could do that for you," she offered, straight-faced. "It's rather a speciality of mine. Walk in, sight unseen, collect what I need and get out. No one's the wiser. And doors don't stop me; neither can a safe. Where do you think the money I've donated came from?" She widened her eyes to look as innocent and sweet as possible.
There was a moment of silence. The smile faded from MaryAnn's face and she looked horrified. "Destiny, surely you didn't steal that money? I used money from a bank robbery for my sanctuary?" There was a squeak of alarm in her voice.
Destiny blinked rapidly. MaryAnn wadded up paper lying on the desk and threw it at her. "You're awful! Why do I think I like you? You also gave me a heart attack."
"Shame on you for even thinking such a thing. Although, now that you mention it, the possibilities are endless."
"Don't even joke about it.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“What happens to you happens to me. We stay together.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“I have come courting," he announced, devilishly sharing the conversation with Destiny. "The beautiful woman you were speaking with the other evening. Destiny. I am doing my best to make her my wife, but she is attempting to resist my charm. I do not suppose either of you would have any suggestions to further my cause?" he added hopefully.
The women made cooing noises and Destiny hissed at him. Nicolas scooted back to enjoy himself. Turning the tables on Destiny was no easy task, and he was determined to make the most of the opportunity. Go attend to your business, little one, and leave me to mine. I think these women might have invaluable insight into the female psyche.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“You have the most fascinating mouth I have ever seen.
What's so fascinating? It's a mouth just like any other.
I think it is your pouty lower lip.
Now I know you're crazy. I never pout and neither does my lip.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“Have to do what?"
"One-upmanship. I kill one, you have to kill two. The big bad hunter flexing his muscles. It's annoying."
"You are not going to whine simply because I have superior hunting skills, are you?" He rubbed her knuckles along his jaw, wanting the contact. Needing to show her what he felt too deeply to say. "It did not occur to me you would whine.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“My heart is very much alive and in your hands. Do your best not to destroy it.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny

“I would have found you. There was complete confidence in his infuriating, beautiful voice. You know I would have found you.
Then there will be a battle between us.
Now there was a smoky edge to his laughter. There has never been a war to fight between us, there never will be. We are two halves of the same whole.”
― Christine Feehan, Dark Destiny
