The Dark Calling Quotes

“By all the gods, I love you as my life. I’ve trusted you with my survival, and I’ve trusted you with my heart—which, for me, is far more vulnerable. I asked you to have a care with it.” He kissed me reverently, then leaned down to press his lips to my belly. “And you have.”

“I held his gaze. “My mother once told me that diamonds were born of pressure, but I never understood what she meant until I met you.” His brows drew together, and his voice roughened. “For true?” “Jack, your past—and how you handled it—is why we’re both still breathing.”

“He grasped my hand. “Let’s take this off.” He gently drew the ring from my finger, like a reverse engagement. A nullification. But I let him. He set it beside the pallet. “Be with me,” he said, his accent thickening. “Stay with me.” He nipped my bottom lip, as exciting and sexy as he’d ever been. “Let’s stop regretting and start living.” With a breathless nod, I allowed myself to fall under his spell. I gave myself up to it, to him.”

“He took my hand in his, and that easy compatibility flowed between us. God, how I’d missed this.

“He was here. But in this world, how long could we possibly have together? "Jack, I love you. I can't ever lose you again." Adrenaline and fear morphed into heat. Desire. I turned my head to nuzzle one of his palms, kissing the callused skin. He sucked in a breath, and his big body tensed against mine. Combustion ignited. When I faced him, his attention dropped to my lips, so I wetted them. His eyes met mine, his smoldering expression asking, Do you want this? Mine answered: Try to deny me. He bent down; I'd already gone to my toes. When our lips met, logic evaporated like a water drop on a sizzling skillet. I tasted cold and salt on his lips. Almost lost him. I deepened the kiss, tugging on his neck as he yanked off his heavy coat. The tension that have been building between us erupted. I drank in his raw passion, unable to get enough. Between kisses, he tore off his soaked shirt as I snatched at his belt. His strong chest heaved breaths. Tumbling to the pallet. More kissing. Tongues twirling. My God, he's a sinful kisser.”

“How come you can call him, but I can’t talk to Gabe?” Joules probably missed him as much as I missed Aric. Or, rather, the old Aric.
“Because you have a temper that Gabriel will know how to needle. He could get you to spill our plans.”
“I don’t have a bloody feckin’ temper!”

“Jack flipped off his rifle's safety and checked the chamber. "A suit of Minor Arcana wanted to kill her because of Tee."
"Tee?"
Jack rolled down the window. "P'tee garcon."
Aric turned to me with his brows drawn. "Little boy?" His gauntlets tightened on the wheel. "Our... son.”

“My soul mate, the father of my son, awaited me there. I had a relationship to repair, alliances to rebuild, and a home to defend.....As certain as I felt that I'd see Jack again, I was even more sure that the game was spinning to a bloody end....I'd be ready.”
