Because when she's not happy, it makes me want to do really, really bad things to whatever and whoever has upset her.”

…
“Blindfolded training. Not nearly as sexy as I was thinking, but still vastly entertaining” came the comment from the one-man peanut gallery.
“That is a good idea.” Anticipation swirled in my chest. “Let’s go.”
“This should be fun to watch,” Roth declared.
“Can you not talk?” Zayne snapped as he walked to where I stood.
“I don’t think that is a promise I can make.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Rage and Ruin

"Sounds like if that happens, it's your fault," I retorted, but flattened my hands against his sides. "And if I get any closer, I'm going to be riding your back like a book bag."
"That's a sentence I never thought I'd hear." His voice crackled through the microphone.
"You're welcome.”
