When an Alpha Purrs Quotes

“A meddling mother who pounded at the door and yelled, “Arik Theodore Antoine Castiglione, I know you’re in there.”
Kira shouted, “Hey, Norma, fancy you showing up,” before humming the theme to Psycho.
As his mother screamed in rage, Arik laughed. And laughed.”
― Eve Langlais, When an Alpha Purrs

“Please note that the hunk sitting across from you may cause heart palpitations, clammy hands, wet panties, and a hunger for things not meant to be eaten in public.”
― Eve Langlais, When An Alpha Purrs

“Don’t come crying to me when she makes you wear an ugly sweater at Christmas.” “I won’t cry because I’ll make sure you and I have matching ones, given to you publicly, so you can’t refuse.

“She backed away, one slow sliding step at a time.
“I won’t hurt you.”
“Says the man who turns into a freaking lion.”
“Hey, don’t act like you’re so surprised. I told you I did.”
“But I didn’t think you meant it,” she said with a fling of her hands.
“Well, now you know. So what?”
“What do you mean, ‘so what’? You turn into a lion. You know, big carnivore with giant teeth.”
Arik’s lips twisted in a wry grin. “Stop complimenting him. He’ll get an even fatter head.”
That caused her to stumble in her retreat. “You mean that lion you turn into… it’s like a separate entity? It hears me?”
“He”— his emphasis not hers—“ hears and understands just fine. And he’s being a furry pain in my ass right now.”
“Why?”
“Because he doesn’t like that you’re scared.”

“While she went through her mini epiphany, he yawned.
A big, jaw-cracking yawn of epic proportions.
She couldn’t stop a giggle.
“I’m glad you think this is funny. I need a nap, but I daren’t close my eyes because you’ll probably bolt at the first snore.”
“You snore?”
“Can I lie now and say I don’t?”
― Eve Langlais, When an Alpha Purrs

“He grinned as she rolled her eyes.
“Good grief. You won’t stop trying to seduce me until you get what you want, will you?”
“No.” Firmly stated.
She heaved a heavy sigh. “Fine.”
“What do you mean, fine?”
“We’ll eat dinner and then have sex. But don’t take too long would you with the humping and grunting. I’ve got to work in the morning, and I’ll need a shower.”
That didn’t sound exactly seductive. He frowned. “You make it sound like a chore.”
She angled her head sideways so she could smirk at him. “I guess that depends on who’s doing all the work. In this case, that would be you. So you’d better make it good, or no amount of begging and big, pleading eyes will get you seconds.”
Begging? Did she think he begged her? Fur ruffled, he slid back to his seat across from her so he could better read her expression.
She, of course, misunderstood his strategic move. “Did I prick someone’s ego?”
“We’ll see who gets pricked,” he muttered ominously.”

“You look way too serious for someone trying to choose an appetizer,” he murmured.
The soft purr of his voice should come with a warning label much like they showed on TV.
Please note that the hunk sitting across from you may cause heart palpitations, clammy hands, wet panties, and a hunger for things not meant to be eaten in public.
She steeled herself before she peeked up and caught his gaze over the edge of her menu. “Just debating on whether I want a salad to start or some stuffed mushrooms.”
“Or you could just nibble on me,” he said with a wink.”
― Eve Langlais, When an Alpha Purrs

“Are you seriously having to ask why I won’t date you?” She sounded so incredulous. “Would you like me to recite the list alphabetically?”
Actually, he did. “Let’s hear it.”
Not even a pause. “Asshat. Braggart. Cocky tied with chauvinist. Dumbass. Egotistical. Do I really need to go on?”
― Eve Langlais, When an Alpha Purrs

“Hayder whistled. “I’ll say. I wouldn’t mind letting her put her hands on me.” Arik clamped his lips before a growl could escape. What was wrong with his lion? “She’s pretty busy.” “So? I’m making an appointment. What’s the girl’s name?” Hayder asked. “Mine.” Who’d said that? Surely not him. Arik almost looked around to see who else was in his office, but judging by Hayder’s dropped jaw, there was only one culprit. His damned cat, who seemed to harbor a thing for the human girl.”
― Eve Langlais, When An Alpha Purrs

“That doesn’t explain this weird nudity thing.” “Well, it’s not like we change shapes fully clothed.” “That can get awkward,” Hayder added. “A lioness in a G-string is a dangerous sight to see.” “Dangerous how?” Kira dared asked. “Because the Instagram pic I took of it got me pounced on by a trio of them, and they waxed me from head to toe.” Hayder shook his head, in rueful remembrance. Kira snickered. “I would have used Nair. It lasts longer.”
