“When would he learn that women never stayed where you put them?”
―
Maya Banks,
Hidden Away
“Women were supposed to be the enigmas, but men? Moody, brooding bastards, the lot of them. A woman with PMS had nothing on a man. Where women might get hormonal once a month, men suffered their own brand of PMS on a daily basis. - Faith” ― Maya Banks, Sweet Surrender
“When a woman submits to a man, it's the most precious gift she can give. Herself. Unreservedly. The man has to respect and honor that gift above all else. Even if he respects nothing else in the world, he must respect the woman in his care. It's his sworn duty to protect, honor and cherish his submissive. To take care of her and provide a safe haven. Someone who would put his own needs above his woman's is no man.” ― Maya Banks, Sweet Addiction
“Sometimes forgiveness is thehardest thing to give, but the most cherished thing to receive.” ― Maya Banks, Love Me Still
“I'm not stubborn. My way is just better.” ― Maya Banks, Rush
“It doesn’t matter. I love you. That’s it. That’s all. I hope to hell it’s enough.” ― Maya Banks, No Place to Run
“I'm tempted to shove one of my romance novels up your ass"- P.J. said sharply"But I love my books too much to desecrate them like that. I'll settle for my boot.” ― Maya Banks, Whispers in the Dark
“She laid her head against his collarbone, and he kissed her temple. To her shock, she felt a shudder roll through his body about the same time she registered wetness against her skin. Tears. His tears.She started to turn around, but he tightened his grip.“Stay,” he said in a choked voice. “Just let me hold you, baby. Just let me hold you.” ― Maya Banks, The Darkest Hour
“I know this woman.”“Who the hell is she?”He stared both his brothers down. “She’s mine.” ― Maya Banks, No Place to Run
“I'm getting the impression that women, in any form, scare you."He shrugged. "They're the more violent species. And unpredictable. I'd rather take on a wild boar. You can't shoot women.” ― Maya Banks, Hidden Away
“You'll call me Damon. I see no need for dramatic titles. I, on the other hand will call you beautiful, lover, mine. I'll call you mine." (Damon to Serena)” ― Maya Banks, Sweet Persuasion
“Some crushes just never went away. They built, instead, into something permanent, obsessive and all consuming.” ― Maya Banks, Rush
“Men love a submissive woman, Damon said simply. Even when they say the don't. There's just something about a beautiful, soft woman looking to them to protect and take care of them that inspires a man to greatness.” ― Maya Banks, Sweet Surrender
“Words are just words. The evidence is in how you act, how you react.” ― Maya Banks, Fever
“Some lessons you learned by the book. Others you learned from cold hard experience. The latter may not be the best way to learn, but it damn well stuck.” ― Maya Banks, No Place to Run
“Never be afraid to tell me anything,” he whispered against her hair. “No matter how ashamed you might feel. I’ll never judge you, Rachel. I love you.” ― Maya Banks, The Darkest Hour
“I love you,” he said fiercely. “ ’Tis not true that I kept a part of my heart locked away from you. You own all of it, lass. You’ve always owned it. I didn’t give it to you. You took it from the very start.” ― Maya Banks, Never Love a Highlander
“Oh no. Hell no. I'm not asking Ma for one of her bras. That's just...wrong."... "Your woman. You do it."..." You go. We'll pay for your therapy later.” ― Maya Banks, No Place to Run
“Tell me what you need.""You," she said simply, that one word tearing to the very heart of him. "Just you.” ― Maya Banks, Rush
