“Then she gasped as he lunged for her. Only he didn’t pounce or bite. Instead, he snaked over to her and rubbed his snout against her side. “Whoa!” she said as the animal he turned into—still out of control, still driven entirely by elemental needs—communicated his concern and anger through physical touch that she’d put herself in danger. Something Brand had held himself back from doing when in human form, able to apply logic. “Um? What’s going on?” Clearly having a massive, horned creature snuggle Kasia up was a disconcerting experience.”

“A peculiar sense of…safety…slid through her. A treacherous idea to entertain. I shouldn’t trust this. Despite that logical thought, tense muscles she hadn’t even realized she was clenching released, loosening up, and she grinned. “Has anyone ever told you that you’re hot as a giant lizard?

― Abigail Owen, The Rogue King

With a sneer, she ran her gaze over him, sizing him up. Then she lifted a single eyebrow, obviously having found him wanting.
Ladon shoved aside the irritation that unusual reaction drew from him. "You're not going near her."
She crossed her arms, clearly unimpressed.
"You're not going to stop me."
"Who the hell are you?" He didn't like repeating himself.
Skylar smiled, those fantasy-inducing lips tipping up in a grim delight. "I'm Kasia's sister.”
― Abigail Owen, The Rogue King
