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
You knew she was the one. I mean, the moment you saw her.
Yeah. Kind of a cross between an 'I'm fucked' and a being struck by lightning sort of thing. -- Maya Banks

"Okay, so I decked him. At the time he deserved it. -- Maya Banks

to the head you didn't tell me about? -- Maya Banks
His gut told him this was a clusterfuck beyond all clusterfucks. -- Maya Banks
Just shooting you straight, Josie. -- Maya Banks
Trying to drown me woman?

I love how you look at me. -- Maya Banks
Sophie, honey, stop looking at me like that," Garrett said gruffly. "You'll have me convinced I'm going to die."
"You're not? -- Maya Banks
I want forever with you. -- Maya Banks
You were made for me, Eden. Just as I was made for you. We fit. We just fit. -- Maya Banks
No other man will have you -- Maya Banks
All thanks to an impish, golden-haired, blue-eyed angel and a Tupperware container of cupcakes. -- Maya Banks
He laughed against her, his chest rumbling with the effort. Well, right now we're going to go eat breakfast and afterward I'm taking you shopping for some clothes. And if that doesn't say I love you, I don't know what does. I don't go shopping for anyone. -- Maya Banks
If it helps you. I forgive you. But i have learned in recent weekd that seeking forgiveness from others is meaningless unless you can forgive yourself. -- Maya Banks
He found himself playing the love-sick fool vying for a crumb of attention or approval from Genevieve. Anything to make her smile. Make her happy. He'd give her the damn moon if that was what it took. -- Maya Banks
Pink is you. Definitely your color. -- Maya Banks
She very nearly reached for his hand, but curled her fingers into a fist instead. He wouldn't appreciate her pity, and how did you pity a man who'd survived hell? You didn't pity him. You admired him. -- Maya Banks
I looked at you and knew what was missing in my life. What I wanted in my life. I've never stopped loving you, Ren. I can't make it any simpler than that. -- Maya Banks
Medic, geek, badass ex-military guy? Is there anything you can't do? -- Maya Banks
Evil genius! I so admire that in a person. Usually I'm the evil bitch of the group -- Maya Banks
There will never be another woman that completes the other half of my soul. -- Maya Banks
Seeing you happy is the best gift I could ever ask for. -- Maya Banks
She absorbed too much of the world around her and it affected her. That wasn't something she could change, could she? -- Maya Banks

She smiled then, an adorable, sweet smile that took his breath away. He forgot all about trying to maintain an air of civility. His inner caveman came barreling out, grunting and pounding his chest and muttering unintelligible words. -- Maya Banks
We love you. We want you to marry us. -- Maya Banks
This stinks like a roadkill skunk. -- Maya Banks
No. You show her how very much you love her by not letting her go. -- Maya Banks
He shook his head. No games, Serena. That isn't what this is about. If you want games of cat and mouse, disobedient slave to punishing master, you're better off with someone else. As much as this is a fantasy and not your reality, in the time you're with me, it will be real. In all ways. -- Maya Banks
Here we are, a man and a woman, both wanting the same things, and yet, you aren't attracted to me. -- Maya Banks
The only way you could disappoint me is by giving up on us, because all I ever want you to be is mine. -- Maya Banks
My attitude is born out of necessity. I've made mistakes. I've made decisions I regretted. I know what it's like to live with regret. I live with it everyday. But if I let it take over, I'd never get out of bed in the morning. -- Maya Banks
I want babies too," he said huskily. "Daughters as beautiful as you are. -- Maya Banks
Don't push me away. I'm attracted to you. -- Maya Banks
When would he learn that women never stayed where you put them? -- Maya Banks
Have you ever been torn between two impossibilities and knew in your heart that no matter which way you went or which path you chose that you were doomed to unhappiness? -- Maya Banks
She was brilliant and that only brilliant people worried about not being brilliant any longer. -- Maya Banks
Never run out on me again. No matter what happens, you stay and fight. Yell at me, argue, throw something at me, whatever you want to do, but never walk away from me. Promise me that. -- Maya Banks
How do you know what I want? You've never asked. -- Maya Banks
Early one morning, before the sun had fully risen over the horizon, he sent two messengers on horseback, each to deliver the royal decree to Laird Armstrong and Laird Montgomery. He only hoped to hell that they didn't kill each other at the wedding. -- Maya Banks
Bastard had the bad manners to die before we were through talking to him. -- Maya Banks
My lady, I don't simply care for her. I love her. She is my entire life. Without her, I am nothing. I have nothing. -- Maya Banks
Wait just a goddamn minute, Josie. We're not finished. No way in fuck I'm giving up that easy. You're worth fighting for. -- Maya Banks
Want your obedience. I expect it - no, I demand it. I don't relish nor will I enjoy the idea of punishing you. So if you seek to bait me so that you enjoy the thrill of discipline, you're sure to be disappointed. -- Maya Banks
I like sleeping in the cold, with covers up to my ears. -- Maya Banks
Maybe I didn't always know what I was missing, but it was you. Always you. -- Maya Banks
You have five minutes or I decorate the tarmac with my brains. -- Maya Banks
Words of a man were meaningless. But actions spoke volumes, and it was always through deeds that the true measure of a man could be ascertained. -- Maya Banks
Ahh, you're a man used to getting his own way."
"Always," he said in a husky growl. -- Maya Banks
It's not ugly. It's a mark of courage. Of survival. I think you're beautiful. -- Maya Banks
Things are rarely as random as they appear -- Maya Banks
You know, Julie, someday a man's going to tame you. -- Maya Banks
You care for my daughter."
"My love for her is stronger than my hatred of you. 'Tis why I'll not raise arms against you today. Instead I ask your aid in the battle against the McHughs. -- Maya Banks
She had as much personality as a pit bull and the pit bull was probably friendlier -- Maya Banks
I won't lie to you, Josie. So becareful what you ask. -- Maya Banks
Gabe thinks I look sexy,' she announced when Jace stopped in front of them. 'And he totally said you'd fuck me in these shoes.' She stopped and frowned, her thoughts suddenly muddled. 'Or maybe it was Mia who said you'd fuck me. Either way, I wanna be fucked in these shoes. -- Maya Banks
I think you know I want you, Josie. I certainly haven't made it a secret. But you also need to think about all I would take. I take a lot. I give more, but I take everything. -- Maya Banks
Hell, yea, I want something. I want you to stop avoiding me. -- Maya Banks
Never said it would be easy. Nothing good ever is. -- Maya Banks
Nothing worth having is ever easy. And you don't get things without fighting for them. -- Maya Banks
Then it's too bad I don't belong to you. -- Maya Banks
Got one," P.J. called. "Motherfucker is ball-less and singing soprano."
"Jesus, that woman is vicious," Joe muttered.
"That's our girl," Renshaw called back smugly. -- Maya Banks
I've always wanted to be psychoanalyzed in a den of iniquity. -- Maya Banks
There was a multitude of sexual scenarios, from a
simple one-on-one couple fucking like bunnies to an
outright orgy with no less than eight people joined like
LEGOs. -- Maya Banks
You can't control my feelings, Hancock. You control my fate, yes. My ultimate destiny. My life even. But you can't control me. -- Maya Banks
It is simple. If you want to stay, then don't go. -- Maya Banks
She's mine. They're mine. And I protect what's mine. -- Maya Banks
Tell me, Serena. Do you want me?" he asked softly. "Do you ache for me? Do you want my possession? Do you lie awake at night wanting a man strong enough to harness your sexuality, stroke it until the fire rages and then unleash it, set you free? -- Maya Banks
And make no mistake, Julie. We are having a relationship. -- Maya Banks
You hold your head up. You submitting to me doesn't mean you're anything less ... the very last thing I want is for you to be some mindless puppet. -- Maya Banks
This is hard ... Never said it would be easy. Nothing good ever is.'
Josie & Ash -- Maya Banks
We're inevitable, Josie -- Maya Banks
He's no stranger to pretty words. -- Maya Banks
When I wake up, I'm going to kick your ass. -- Maya Banks
Her nipple rings as she held herself still on his cock. "We're going to take this slow and easy," Luke said. "I won't hurt you, Gracie, I swear it." "I trust you," she whispered. He eased more lubricant inside her, stretching her slightly with his fingers. After several -- Maya Banks
Yeah, it's you. It suits you. I wanted something to match your eyes, but I also wanted something that reflected your personality. Your vibrancy. -- Maya Banks
Recognizing your illness is the first step in your recovery -- Maya Banks
No matter what she heard, how could she think it? I love her, damnit. How could she not know? -- Maya Banks
Tell me what you need."
"You," she said simply, that one word tearing to the very heart of him. "Just you. -- Maya Banks
I want a woman completely devoted to me and my needs. In return, I would take care of her and provide for her every need. But I would be in control. -- Maya Banks
Twas such a useless thing. And so unnecessary. Many had suffered for the actions of a few. Wasn't that always the way of things? The collective suffered for the actions of an inept, ineffectual leader. -- Maya Banks
As if he conveyed by actions what he could never say in words. Would never say in words. -- Maya Banks
Don't take her from me, he whispered fiercely, hoping the words wrenched from the depths of his soul somehow made it to God's ears. -- Maya Banks
You want to be dominated. -- Maya Banks
Girlfriends' code. What's discussed with girlfriends stays with girlfriends. -- Maya Banks
Done and done," P.J. said curtly. "Both front towers are clear. Giddy up, cowboys. Let's rope the goat and get back home. -- Maya Banks
Inch by inch, they chipped away until soon there would be nothing left to salvage. -- Maya Banks
Callie was his. He'd made mistakes. Mistakes that had cost them both more than he could ever imagine. But she was his, and he had every intention of reasserting his claim on her. -- Maya Banks
I'll call you mine. -- Maya Banks
You don't want me. How could you? You know nothing about me. -- Maya Banks
Pull himself together? This was a man who looked permanently cemented together. -- Maya Banks
Sometimes it was better not to ever live the fantasy. Because when reality descended, it outlined in stark detail just how much the real world sucked. -- Maya Banks
Now tell me you love me again. Tell me you're not going to run from me ever again. -- Maya Banks
I can't let you go again. I won't let you go. -- Maya Banks
Come back to me so I can tell you I love you. So I can tell you I love you every single day of our lives from this point forward. -- Maya Banks
Holy shit,' Ash murmured.
'Oh, it gets worse.'
Ash lifted an eyebrow.
'Yeah, apparently when I decide to be an asshole, I go all the way. -- Maya Banks
I just want to hold you for a while. -- Maya Banks
I hope you find what you're looking for," Micah said. "I've already stopped looking," Damon said quietly. "It's kind of hard to look for something you've stopped believing in. -- Maya Banks
Amazing what happens when you just ask, isn't it? -- Maya Banks
If I interrupted violence, by all means I'll step back. Always nice to see bloodshed first thing in the a.m. -- Maya Banks
Don't hide from me, honey. You're so beautiful. You take my breath away. Never hide from me. You're too beautiful for that. -- Maya Banks
Guilt is bullshit. I don't want it. Don't need it. -- Maya Banks
Adam laughed. Son, in time you'll understand that every man has to have a girly conversation with his woman whether he wants to or not. His survival depends on his willingness to accept it with good grace. -- Maya Banks
When in doubt, call for back-up. -- Maya Banks
And I don't throw tantrums. I just voice my displeasure in a loud manner. -- Maya Banks
Yea, kinda hard to be mad when he says shit like that. -- Maya Banks
I don't want to disappoint you. I don't want to let you down. And I don't want to embarrass you in front of the people you love. -- Maya Banks
Right or not, you're pissing me the fuck off. -- Maya Banks
I need an alibi. -- Maya Banks
They won't really shoot us, will they?" Faith whispered as they started forward.
"I'll pretend I'm in labor if they do any funny stuff," Angelina said in a low voice. "Pregnant women always scare the shit out of men. -- Maya Banks
True friendship has no boundaries. No parameters. And certainly has no conditions. -- Maya Banks
She won't be alone. I'm not leaving her. -- Maya Banks
He hated being the object of scrutiny. -- Maya Banks
Alien to him, gripped him by the balls, freezing his insides. He rubbed at his chest in an effort to alleviate the discomfort and closed his eyes, trying to rid himself of the images the threat had invoked. -- Maya Banks
Some crushes just never went away. They built, instead, into something permanent, obsessive and all consuming. -- Maya Banks
There's always a choice. It's what you do with that choice that matters. -- Maya Banks
I'm not supposed to be afraid of anything, you know? I'm a confident woman. I own my own business. But he ... he makes me want things I've never wanted. -- Maya Banks
You can't control everything. You can't control how someone feels about you. Or what makes them tick. You can only control how you react, how you act, how you think and feel. -- Maya Banks
You are my girl. -- Maya Banks
Cut the sarcasm. It makes you sound like an even bigger asshole -- Maya Banks
Don't want to lose you. -- Maya Banks
It doesn't matter. I love you. That's it. That's all. I hope to hell it's enough. -- Maya Banks
Tis a well-known fact that a man is either skilled in matters of loving or matters of war. 'Tis obvious that fighting is your skill. -- Maya Banks
Like I'm beautiful. Like I'm the only woman who's ever affected you this way. Like in a room full of other women, you'd only see me. -- Maya Banks
And maybe that's was her biggest crime of all. Making him fall in love with her. -- Maya Banks
Only the memories. -- Maya Banks
Hope was such a gift and a curse all rolled into one. -- Maya Banks
There were worse things than death, as she'd discovered. Sometimes living took far more courage. Facing another day. Enduring. Those things took strength. Far more than dying. -- Maya Banks
Rose okay with closing tonight? -- Maya Banks
Jesus has to be crying up there somewhere. Or laughing hysterically. I can't figure out which one. -- Maya Banks
It's no way to live, in fear of living in case of pain -- Maya Banks
If there's something you want to say, say it. I'm not a mind reader. -- Maya Banks
Doesn't matter," he said solemnly. "Men as a species are wrong. We're better off admitting it up front, taking our punishment and then hoping for good makeup sex. -- Maya Banks
It was the problem with creating a web of lies and deceit. It spiraled out of control until it took on a life of its own, and she was helpless to correct it. In too deep. She'd been trapped by her own solution. -- Maya Banks
You were perfect. -- Maya Banks
If you think my hard-on has nothing to do with you, then you're deluded." Her mouth gaped open as he pushed past her and stalked from the room. "Ooo-kay," she murmured. Not what she'd expected him to say at all. -- Maya Banks
I cannot allow another man to take what I already consider mine. -- Maya Banks
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
Bully, she muttered.
When it comes to you, baby, I don't mind being labeled a bully. -- Maya Banks
If you're asking me if I have blood on my hands then yeah, no doubt. -- Maya Banks
I won't let it happen again. I protect what's mine. -- Maya Banks
If I have my way, you'll have her no longer. -- Maya Banks
I've made myself as vulnerable as a man can make himself to a woman. It's the same as if I just handed you a knife and offered you my balls, for God's sake. -- Maya Banks
One of these days, you're going to quit running every time we get close. -- Maya Banks
We understand each other, Jensen. Who else would ever understand us and love us as much as we do? -- Maya Banks
The only thing I'm sure of is that I've waited entirely too damn long to have you. -- Maya Banks
You think I hate you, but that's not true, Rusty, and if you ever actually lowered your hackles around me you'd realize that I only want to make sure you're safe. -- Maya Banks
If you ever wake up and see the light and decide you want me back? You're going to have to crawl. -- Maya Banks
Sometimes forgiveness is the
hardest thing to give, but the most cherished thing to receive. -- Maya Banks
He walked hesitantly toward her and then wrapped his arms around her in a gentle hug.
"You just looked like you needed one," he said. -- Maya Banks
I'm timid, apparently I look like hell and have as many issues as People magazine -- Maya Banks
I would not ever have her feel as though I needed more than what she could give me. -- Maya Banks
Right about now, he'd like to have a stamp that said "Mine, stay the hell away" to put right on her forehead. -- Maya Banks
My heart is in your hands. -- Maya Banks
Life works however the hell you make it work. -- Maya Banks
Okay, be serious. Aren't you ever afraid of anything?"
"Plenty of time," he said softly.
"Even when what you're afraid of defies all logic?"
"Especially then. It's been my experience that fear doesn't have a set of parameters. We can't turn it off just by realizing we shouldn't be afraid. -- Maya Banks
I can't be Pollyanna all the time. There is a certain risk in what we do. We have the power to make someone's dream come true, but we also have the power to crush it forever. -- Maya Banks
She was too well acquainted with the way things work in real life. Real life sucked. But it was real. It was unapologetic. It made no excuses. It just was. -- Maya Banks
Every day. I have to show you every day what you'll mean to me. That's on me. And we'll get there. This-- you-- are important to me. I'm going to make sure you know that at all times.' -- Ash -- Maya Banks
She figured if people were dumb enough to believe that crap, they didn't deserve the truth. They probably wouldn't believe it anyway -- Maya Banks
You're a hard-core cynic -- Maya Banks
I don't want you to leave me. -- Maya Banks
Words are just words. The evidence is in how you act, how you react. -- Maya Banks
Sometimes second chances are the very best chances," she whispered. "Because this time we'll get it right. -- Maya Banks
God, but she loved it. His tongue -- Maya Banks
She exists, Damon. There are women out there who crave what we can give them. Once you taste it, you can't ever let go of it, -- Maya Banks
And you'll go to bed knowing you are mine and that you belong, heart and soul, to me. -- Maya Banks
I resented you for inserting yourself so fully into my life, and then one day I realized I couldn't imagine my life without you ... -- Maya Banks
I love you, Faith. Lord knows I've tried not to. -- Maya Banks
You're what happened, Ash. You. -- Maya Banks
But love isn't about causing pain for the person you care about, -- Maya Banks
I'm not stubborn. My way is just better. -- Maya Banks
You mean everything to me. You mean more to me than I have the words to explain. Is it normal? Who gives a damn if it's normal? Fuck normal. You and I will never be normal people. If normal means I'm not with you, then I never want to be that man. -- Maya Banks
It's okay to expect more from the people around you. That doesn't make you unreasonable. It makes you smart. -- Maya Banks
Ask me again. Please. -- Maya Banks
I need your dominance, your strength. Your control. I need that structure. It centers me. It reminds me that I have a place in this world. With you. -- Maya Banks
Caelen?" "Aye, lass?" "You were right." "What was I right about?" "Kissing. 'Tis a most wondrous thing." She could sense his smile. -- Maya Banks
You're adorable when you blush, and you do it so easily. -- Maya Banks
Attraction doesn't follow a set of rules, you know. But I know that I don't look at the others like I look at you. -- Maya Banks
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
I love you, Eveline," he whispered, though he knew she could not hear him. "Somehow, I'll make you hear me and you'll know that I love you as fiercely as it's possible for a man to love a woman. -- Maya Banks
I know I'm asking a lot, but I need for you to be able to ignore me when I'm pissed and saying shit that hurts you. I'll try like hell not to do it, but I know me. -- Maya Banks
A woman who's survived all you've survived doesn't cry. She holds her head up and dares the world around her to fuck with her. -- Maya Banks
I can't let her go. Not when I've finally found her. -- Maya Banks
Flattery will get you everywhere -- Maya Banks
Gray, I love you. -- Maya Banks
He was better than any drug, any remedy for her illness. -- Maya Banks
Decide what makes you happy and damn what anyone else thinks or says -- Maya Banks
I love you, Serena. Stay. -- Maya Banks
But if I lost you, it would devastate me as nothing else has or ever could. You have so much power over me and that's frightening. -- Maya Banks
Graeme leaned down and pressed his lips to Eveline's cool forehead. "Come back to me," he whispered. "I'm waiting, Eveline. -- Maya Banks
She's the one, Pop. -- Maya Banks
I want you. God, I want you. But only if it's real. -- Maya Banks
You're a wonderful man, Steele. And behind that tough-as-nails exterior lies a heart of gold." "Yeah, well, don't feel the need to tell everybody that," he said gruffly. "You're the only one who needs to know that kind of information." She grinned. -- Maya Banks
Wasn't that the way of the world, though? Only the strong survived, and the weak perished. -- Maya Banks
A good friend will bail you out when you land in jail, but a very good friend will be sitting beside you in that jail cell. -- Maya Banks
She touched a part of him he'd thought was inaccessible. A part that had been jealously guarded for years. And she'd gotten there with no effort whatsoever. She'd walked into his life and heart like she belonged. -- Maya Banks
My love for her is stronger than my hatred of you. -- Maya Banks
As what-the-fuck moments went, this one was one of the bigger ones. -- Maya Banks
He wanted to tie her to him in ways she'd never escape. But they'd be the most loving, silken ties in the world. -- Maya Banks
I know when I've been given my marching orders. -- Maya Banks
Tell me, warrior, how soon can we do this again? -- Maya Banks
She was tattooed on every part of his body. Deeper, in his heart, his very soul. A permanent brand that would never wear off. -- Maya Banks
Fantasies were safe. It was a break from reality. A chance to act on desires for a short period of time. -- Maya Banks
Because they weren't you. -- Maya Banks
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
I am a good bitch on wheels when given the right motivation. -- Maya Banks
