Lauren's Barbarian Quotes

“Stranded alone with a brutal but delicious alien man that can’t speak English but has great…ahem…body language? Yup, handled.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“I’ve crossed galaxies while I slept, crossed an ocean and back again, but none of that matters. I know where my home is—right here in his arms. It’s where I’ll always want to be.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“There’s not a stitch of clothing on him…and I’m kind of bummed that I can’t see what his junk looks like. I’m only human, after all. If there’s a naked dude, I want to stare, too.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“W-where am I? Why am I naked?” The blonde bites down on her knuckle. “So. Many. Jokes. I can’t. I just can’t, though.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“But all of the other humans stranded here are blissfully happy and pregnant, so I’m guessing alien dick is big in the “yay” sort of way instead of the “oh crap” sort of way. And with that knob on top, I’m pretty sure he’s going to hit me in all the right spots. That’s…kind of exciting.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“Er, no, I’m not Liz.” I sigh, biting my lip. “I’m Lauren, but you can call me Lo.” I guess it’s time to break out the “You Tarzan, Me Jane” routine. I tap my chest. “Lo.”

“this ship originally came here looking for more slaves. They followed the records of the old crew, who had landed here earlier, and murdered them. If this ship goes back to Earth, someone’s going to take the flight paths and trace them back to this world and make everyone that lives here unsafe. I’m sorry to say that there are dozens of families living here that would be endangered. You guys are outvoted.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“Is not okay,” the alien growls. “Our people risk their lives to save them. Many scared. Many away from kits. Many risk themselves. For what?” He stabs a finger in the air and points off to the side, where Liz and the others are still working on taming the fighting male. “So that one can bite and try to hurt more?” He glares at all of us with angry, glowing blue eyes. “We all at risk. All. This not just you. This us.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“We risked a lot to come here.” I think of the sucker wounds on his chest and the scratches that cover his body, and shudder.

“I will always come back for you, my Llo. I will never leave your side.”

I squeeze against him tighter, holding him closer. “I love you. I love you so much.”

“Thank you, my mate.”

It’s not the answer I expect from a declaration of love, and I look up at him in surprise. “Er, thank you?”

“For giving my tribe new life. Here on this shore, and”—he touches my belly—“here, L’ren.”

Okay, now I’m going to cry again.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“Llo?” he whispers, caressing my cheek with his thumb.

“Hi there,” I whisper back to him, and then because I’ve wanted to say it for so long, “I love you.”

My alien breaks into a massive grin.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian

“I can help with Mari. Help with food. I’m strong.” I lift an arm, flex a muscle, and pat my bicep. “Strong.”

R’jaal’s lips twitch as if he’s doing his best not to laugh.

K’thar just looks proudly at me.”
― Ruby Dixon, Lauren's Barbarian
