Power Game Quotes

“Arguing with you is going to be a fucking waste of time, isn’t it?” She laughed, and the sound slid into his body, an arrow aimed right at his heart. “Yes. You may as well get used to it, honey.”

“We’re going to build a life together. Be a family. Have a family. At least that’s what I’m planning. I thought you were on the same page.” “I am on the same page, Ezekiel. I’m as committed as you are to trying a life with you. Because I don’t want to start off that life by killing two good men doesn’t make me less committed, it makes me sane”

“Even if you kill them, Whitney will send others.” “Maybe. Maybe not. Sometimes he backs off.” He rinsed off her shoulders and back. She sighed and reached out to capture water in her cupped hand and then watch it slowly fall into the tub. “I just want you to talk to them first, Ezekiel. I don’t think they’d endanger anyone else here . . .”

“Make no mistake, gentlemen, these men are Islamic radicals. They consider it a blessing to die for their cause. Let’s accommodate them. Number-one priority is the hostages. We want to get in and get out without detection if possible, so when you’re accommodating them, do it as quietly as possible.”

“Donny sighed and pushed the duffel bag at his feet closer to Bellisia. “There’s your belongings. These men hunting you disappear, you come home. And if Ezekiel really wants you, he can come talk to me.” Without another word he sauntered off in the direction of the side of the house where he knew they kept a ladder. “Wow,” Cayenne said, awed. “He’s so amazing. He’s already treating you like a daughter.” “What did that mean? About Ezekiel going to talk to him?” “It’s a tradition for a man to ask for her father’s permission when he wants to marry a woman,” Nonny explained”

“What’s with the firepower, chief?” “I came to straighten your spidery ass out, woman. Where’s that man of yours? He’s the only one that can keep you in line.” “Chief?” Bellisia echoed. “Chief cook and bottle washer,” Cayenne said. “He babysits for Pepper occasionally.” Donny bristled, puffing out his chest. “You’re going to be a world of hurt, woman, you keep that up. I don’t babysit.” He leaned over as if he might spit, looked at Nonny and changed his mind. “I instruct those little girls on plants and animals in the swamp. Just because they like my company more than they like yours, you don’t have to be so snarky.”

“Donny scowled. “And people think I’m crazy. Where’s Pepper? At least she’s got some sense in her, marrying a Fontenot. You married Trap. Got crazy hair and a crazy husband. What the hell are you doing with that man?” “He’s amazing in the sack, Donny. Ah. Mazing,” Cayenne taunted. Donny rolled his eyes. “Stop talking. In fact, go away. I’m going to take my supplies and go lie up on the roof until your men come home. I hope your ah-mazing man spends a lot of time on spanking your ass.” “Oh.” Cayenne fanned herself. “He does. Hurts so good.” “Cayenne.” Nonny said her name. A warning. “Sorry, Nonny.” Cayenne blew her a kiss. “I’ll behave myself. I just can’t help it, especially when he calls my man crazy.” “He is crazy,” Donny argued. “Like a fox,” Nonny said”

“That’s the rumor. If it’s true, it just goes to show Whitney can’t control our emotions. He might be able to make us lust after one another, but he can’t make me feel like this. Like I do about you.” “You don’t know me.” “I know you. I knew you the minute I looked at you and knew you were the one. When a man has searched as long as I have, believing he didn’t have a shot at finding anyone who would take him as he is, that man recognized the right woman, the only woman, and he isn’t willing to walk away.” “You’re crazy. Do you have any idea how lethal I am?” “Yes.” He sounded proud. “It turns me on, baby, knowing I’m always going to be living on the edge of danger.” “That just makes you crazier than I thought you were.” He laughed softly,”

“She didn’t know what had caused the difference, but even Gino was on board. They were clearly guarding the couple rather than guarding the compound against her. “Don’t get him in trouble with Nonny,” Rubin advised. “Cut through the bullshit,” Gino added. “You aren’t going to turn him down, because someone has to look after the lug. I don’t know what you know about him that we don’t, but it sounds like you’re meant for each other. Just get over there to Nonny before she decides to quit cooking for us.” Bellisia shook her head, a little bit stunned. The big, badass GhostWalkers were afraid of an eighty-year-old woman—or more precisely, their stomachs were.”

“Ezekiel. Bring that child to me,” Nonny persisted. The creak of her chair indicated she had stood up. Soft footfalls on the porch and the sound of her pipe hitting the bannister told Bellisia the woman stood at the top of the stairs. “She’s not a child, Nonny,” Ezekiel said. “And I’m working on convincing her.” There was a small silence. “Son, if you haven’t got her convinced by now, you’re not half the man I think you are. Bring your woman to me.” “Zeke, she means business,” Mordichai warned. He sounded a little nervous”

“kidding.” She pressed her body back into his. “Maybe you were, but that might be just what we need to do. We could recruit them. They don’t like Whitney any more than we do.” “Are you crazy? Even if they did decide to join us, how would we know if they were really committed to being part of us or playing the role to be a spy for Whitney?” “How did you know I was telling you the truth? Your people certainly interrogated me.” He ran his hands up the sides of her rib cage. She felt small and delicate, a woman’s softer body, so intriguing, so beautiful. He cupped her breasts and then touched his marks on the slight curves. She had a point. “Arguing with you is going to be a fucking waste of time, isn’t it?” She laughed, and the sound slid into his body, an arrow aimed right at his heart. “Yes. You may as well get used to it, honey.” 14 “You have to devein the shrimp. There is actually shrimp in the gumbo, Bella,” Nonny said. “We’re doing a shrimp gumbo so it’s necessary to use shrimp.” Pepper and”
