“A touch brimming with mercy paired with eyes bereft of pity. Meeting his gaze felt like returning home.”
― Sebastian Nothwell, Oak King Holly King

“It was like comparing the cold unyielding beauty of the stars to the bloom of a flower, something impermanent and imperfect but all the more lovely for it.”
― Luna McNamara, Psyche and Eros

“The Greeks have three words for love. The first is philia, the kind of love that involves liking and grows up between two people who enjoy each other’s company very much. The second is agape, the selfless love of parents for children or between those who are like family to one another. The third is eros, which explains itself—connection, spark, the desire of the body to seek fulfillment in another.”
― Luna McNamara, Psyche and Eros

“I would obey his commands without question and eliminate anyone he wanted me to. His enemies were my enemies, and I would place myself in harm's way if it meant keeping him safe. Simon Alarie could cover me with bites and bruises, put me on a leash, and lock me in a cage. He could do absolutely anything he wanted to me and I would thank him for it.
Just forthe privilege of being his.
Swallowing hard, I bravely met his gaze. “I’m your dog,” I rasped, allowing the freedom of that statement to wash over me like fresh rain. “I’m yours.”
― C. Rochelle, Gentlemen Prefer Villains
