“We’re going to be here all night,” he growled in my ear. “Fucking until the sun rises. I’m going to have you every way, every position. This is what you signed up for when you asked for my help, Ayla.”

“Then you never really feel comfortable around most people. Especially your family, who probably never seemed to understand you. But as you grow up you find others like yourself, people who support you, embrace your weirdness, and love for who you are - and they become your new family." - Tara” ― Elizabeth Briggs, More Than Comics
“Mrs. Fisher, her hands folded on her lap, was doing nothing, merely gazing fixedly into the fire. The lamp was arranged conveniently for reading, but she was not reading. Her great dead friends did not seem worth reading that night. They always said the same things now—over and over again they said the same things, and nothing new was to be got out of them any more for ever. No doubt they were greater than any one was now, but they had this immense disadvantage, that they were dead. Nothing further was to be expected of them; while of the living, what might one not still expect? She craved for the living, the developing—the crystallized and finished wearied her. She was thinking that if only she had had a son—a son like Mr. Briggs, a dear” ― Elizabeth von Arnim, The Elizabeth von Arnim Collection
“How unfortunate, how extremely unfortunate, the determination that seized people to get hold of and engulf other people. If only they could be induced to stand more on their own feet. Why couldn't Mr. Briggs be more like Lotty, who never wanted anything of anybody, but was complete in herself and respected other people's completeness? One loved being with Lotty. With her one was free, and yet befriended. Mr. Briggs looked so really nice, too. She thought she might like him if only he wouldn't so excessively like her.” ― Elizabeth von Arnim, The Enchanted April
“But Briggs, when he realized her intention, leapt to his feet, snatched chairs which were not in her way out of it, kicked a footstool which was not in her path on one side, hurried to the door, which stood wide open, in order to hold it open, and followed her through it, walking by her side along the hall.” ― Elizabeth von Arnim, The Enchanted April
“Parents always loved me. Too bad their daughters always left me for guys with tattoos and piercings. “This” ― Elizabeth Briggs, More than Once
“If you hadn’t screwed around with a human, maybe you’d have a daughter you could be proud of.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Moon Touched
“I’m done,” he said, looking me in the eyes, his gaze possessive. “I’m done pretending I don’t want you. I meant it last night. You’re mine. No one else can have you.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Star Cursed
“Give me books over diamonds any day, thanks.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Demon King
“Our lives were covered in gold foil, but if you scratched hard enough, you’d see the rust underneath.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, More than Music
“I’m going to claim you right here, under the stars and the moon for all the gods to see,” he said, his voice edging into a growl. “You’re mine, now and forever.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Star Cursed
“Have to? I don’t have to do anything. You’re so used to getting what you want that you’ve forgotten what the word ‘no’ sounds like. Let me remind you." I slowly raised my middle finger. "No.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Star Cursed
“I would very much like to see where you grew up, little wolf." I sighed, as the sea air whipped at my hair. "Don't get too excited. I didn't exactly have a happy childhood there." He took a wayward strand of hair and tucked it behind my ear. "I don't care. It's still a part of your past. I want to know about all of it—the good and the bad.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Star Cursed
“The stars can go fuck themselves, for all I care,” I said. “And you can too, for that matter.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Star Cursed
“You’re so used to getting what you want that you’ve forgotten what the word ‘no’ sounds like. Let me remind you." I slowly raised my middle finger. "No.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Star Cursed
“He turned his hypnotic eyes back on me. “I lost her.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Demon King
“Harper waggled her eyebrows at me. "From what I heard, you're the one charming snakes. Kaden's snake, anyway.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Moon Touched
“Is that why you make deals?” A nervous laugh bubbled out of me. “Are you going to steal my soul? Should I be afraid?” “Oh, Hannah. Your soul already belongs to me.” His eyes smoldered and a villainous smile spread across his lips. “And you should be very afraid.” ― Elizabeth Briggs, Demon King
