“I am tempted to incapacitate him with the hemlock and then castrate him.”Lena paled. “I don’t think that would be very wise,” she said. “And the only knife we own is what I use for the cooking. You’re not using that.”“I was planning on using a spoon,” Honoria replied.”

Bec McMaster,
Kiss of Steel
“You're staring.""Can't 'elp meself, he replied. You were made to be stared at.” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
“Easy, luv. Don't stir the devil, or you'll 'ave to pay the consequences." "I'm not sure I have any coin on me," she said leaning closer and kissing the stubbled roughness of his jaw. "Do you think he would accept my favors instead?" A sultry whisper in his ear. Blade groaned, "Bloody 'ell, Honor. Don't tease a man so." "But it's so very exciting.” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
“Looking up, he met her startled gaze. 'Let down your guard, Honor. Let me in. Let me love you.' He kissed her lips, tasted the sweetness of her breath. 'Trust me. I won't ever 'urt you.” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
“Aye, then.Come and dance with the Ech'lon. You can be me bloody retinue. King o' Fools and 'is merry band o' jesters. If they don't laugh us out o' the tower, it'll be a bleedin' miracle.” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
“Sweet dreams,luv."His smile suddenly blazed as though he knew what her dreams would be full of."I know mine will be.” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
“On a scale of one to burn-it-fucking-alive, my feelings about spiders are firmly on the flammable end of the scale.” ― Bec McMaster, Promise of Darkness
“the wound sharp words leave can often be far more lethal than any blade. They linger, fester. They’re never forgotten, even long after a flesh wound has healed.” ― Bec McMaster, Promise of Darkness
“Kidnapping you was the worst idea I ever had." - Luc Wade” ― Bec McMaster, Nobody's Hero
“I will give you my days... but, my dear sorceress, your nights are mine.” ― Bec McMaster, Shadowbound
“Honoria clung to him, her heart and mind racing. What did she want of this? A moment of tumbled passion, a few nights of escape from dreariness of her life? or more? Someone to love her. Someone to hold her on his arms, to tell her that she was the center of his world. Some one to trust. Someone to love back.” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
“Here, now. What have we here?" Blade whispered. "A little kitten, all of my own," he purred. "Far from home.” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
“the sharpest sting of betrayal is the fact it only ever comes from those you trust.” ― Bec McMaster, Promise of Darkness
“We all need a little bit of romance in our lives. A little bit of magic. You shouldn’t trust all of the stories, but you should believe some” ― Bec McMaster, Heart of Fire
“Riley, you're the Devil, and I'd gladly sell you my soul, if you didn't already own it..." - Luc Wade” ― Bec McMaster, Nobody's Hero
“Are you decent?” “Rarely,” he said, with an ironic drawl. “Are you clothed?” “Aye.” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
“I love you. I will always love you. But this kind of love does not demand anything from you, this kind of love is not a cage. If you cannot bring yourself to give your heart to me, then know this: You hold no blame for any of this. I loved you. And I made a dangerous, foolish bargain with your mother, because I was so certain of our destiny, that I could not see the trap around me. Your heart is a gift but if youcannot give it to me, it will never change how I feel about you. You bear no responsibility for any of this.” ― Bec McMaster, Promise of Darkness
“You know I love you,” he said. Her body quivered against his, but he pressed a finger to her lips, stalling her. “I would die for you,” he told her. “I’d kill for you. I faced down mechanical squid, rampagin’ humanists, and lessons in etiquette for you. I danced at a ball for you.” ― Bec McMaster, Heart of Iron
“Does a pistol murder a man? Or is it the man who pulls the trigger? Can we blame a rabid dog who tears apart a child? Or should we blame the one who kicked and starved and tortured it?” ― Bec McMaster, Kiss of Steel
