Right, then, mate, terribly sorry for my unspeakable rudeness, and I do beg your pardon. I can only say that it was caused by my natural affront to the notion of her as my sister.

Jeaniene Frost (Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1))
Tr...ooooo...luv...' Fezzik grabbed onto Inigo in panic and they both pivoted, staring at the man in black, who was silent again. '"True love," he said,' Inigo cried. 'You heard him - true love is what he wants to come back for. That's certainly worthwhile.' 'Sonny, don't you tell me what's worthwhile - true love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops. Everybody knows that.

My gaze flew to him once more,noting the cigarette he set down even as he exhaled a long plume of white."Why are you lying there smoking while I'm chained to a wall?"I demanded.The look he gave me was a mixture of relief and cynicism."Since it seems you don't remember anything about the past two days,let me assure you,luv-I earned that smoke.
Jeaniene Frost (This Side of the Grave (Night Huntress, #5))

Kelly Moran (Ghost of a Promise (Phantoms, #1))
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 (London Steampunk, #1))
I am in no doubt that if you use the term 'luv' in a letter or text message then you are incapable of truly understanding the emotion. Artists have not pored over heartache and unrequited sentimentality for years so that our generation could decide that four letters is simply one too many to express how we feel.
Jon Richardson (It's Not Me, It's You)
Sweet dreams,luv."His smile suddenly blazed as though he knew what her dreams would be full of."I know mine will be.

Once he’d even reprogrammed the electronic billboards in Times Square to read: ALL DA LADIES LUV LEO…accidentally, of course.
Rick Riordan (The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, #3))
Oxytocin, the luv hormone, makes us more prosocial to Us and worse to everyone else. That’s not generic prosociality. That’s ethnocentrism and xenophobia. In other words, the actions of these neuropeptides depend dramatically on context—who you are, your environment, and who that person is.
Robert M. Sapolsky (Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst)
Like this?" she whispers, sultriness underlying her voice. She goes slow, and it's pure torture. Though I suppose it's only fair play after what I put her through. I shut my eyes and flex every muscle. "Yes, luv. Bloody hell. Just like that." Heaven.
Wendy Higgins (Sweet Temptation (Sweet, #4))
You’re a woman without a voice, Briony,” he whispers against my lips. “Let me be the throat through which you scream.

Rick Riordan (The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, #5))
He muttered something foul and then climbed the stairs, rapping twice on Timmie’s door. “Right, then, mate, terribly sorry for my unspeakable rudeness, and I do beg your pardon,” he said with admirable humbleness when Timmie cracked it open. Only I could pick up the slight edge to his voice as he went on. “I can only say that it was caused by my natural affront to the notion of her as my sister. Since I’ll be shagging her tonight, you can imagine how I’d be distressed at the thought of rogering my sibling.” “You schmuck!” I burst as Timmie’s jaw dropped. “The only thing you’ll be shagging tonight is yourself!” “You wanted sincerity,” he countered. “Well, luv, I was sincere.
Jeaniene Frost
I love you with every echoed beat of my dark and hollowed heart, the hole in which contains my shattered ghost of a soul. I love you with all the fractured tears inside my tortured mind. With every agonizing breath I breathe.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
«He grins and straightens, wings high and regal behind him. I glare at his costume. It’s so typical him. A mix of medieval and rock star: brown leather forearm guards with studs over a ruffle-cuffed white shirt, and a cavalier doublet in burgundy with a gold lace overlay. The hem hits above his muscled thighs, so the skintight burgundy hose taper smoothly into knee-high brown boots, leaving nothing to the imagination. Worst of all, he has a crown. He dressed as a fairy king. The irony doesn’t escape me. I scowl. “Problem, luv?” He looks down on me from behind a gold lace half mask while adjusting the ruby-jeweled crown over his blue hair with velvet-clad hands. Tiny moth corpses are suspended in the rubies, like stained-glass fossils. I shake my head. “I’m pretty sure you’ll be the only one wearing anything tight enough to need a codpiece. Always have to be the showstopper, don’t you?” “Oh, I assure you, what I chose to show is only the start.»
A.G. Howard (Unhinged (Splintered, #2))
When it is time for me to visit Brigid, I find her awake in her little room. "That's awl righ', luv. I don' care to forget, if it's all the same," she says, and there are no rowan leaves at her window anymore.
Libba Bray (The Sweet Far Thing (Gemma Doyle, #3))
She’s my obsession, but more so, she’s my fucking existence. The only point of destruction I crave.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
Jangan menikah hanya karena didesak umur. Menikahlah kalau kamu sudah yakin dengan calon pasanganmu dan yakin bahwa pernikahan adalah jalan terbaik (Luvi)
Dian Nafi (Luv: Untuk Cinta Yang Selalu Menunggu)
designing a secret passage, where would I put it? He could sometimes figure out how a machine worked by putting his hand on it. He’d learned to fly a helicopter that way. He’d fixed Festus the dragon that way (before Festus crashed and burned). Once he’d even reprogrammed the electronic billboards in Times Square to read: ALL DA LADIES LUV LEO…accidentally, of course.
Rick Riordan (The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, #3))
That sick love is the kind I now inevitably crave.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)

That’s right, luv. If you run from me, I’ll chase you. And I’ll find you.
Jeaniene Frost (Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1))
He’s stronger than you are.” My voice was barely above a whisper. Bones snorted. “I know that, luv, but he won’t be the first bloke I’ve shriveled who exceeded me in power. All I need is one mistake from Gregor, and he’s mine.
Jeaniene Frost (Destined for an Early Grave (Night Huntress, #4))
It’s better to end something and start another than to imprison yourself in hoping for the impossible. Life can never promise to always be happy but life gets better after you accept things you just can’t change. For you Jelle, from me.. with luv. He-he!
Marione Ashley (Your Love Is The Only Exception (Tennis Knights, #4))
But I’m the eyes through which you’ll finally realize your worth.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
Recognize Briony, that I’m the air to your fire. All you need to do is fan the flame.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
That’s my good...sweet...obedient girl.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
kini dia berusaha menerjemahkan cinta ke arah yang berbeda. Cinta yang mendahulukan kebahagiaan orang yang dikasihi, bukan cinta yang semata ingin memiliki. Sekalipun untuk itu, dia harus membayarnya dengan kesepian dan rasa kehilangan sepanjang hidupnya.
Dian Nafi (Luv: Untuk Cinta Yang Selalu Menunggu)
What we have together isn’t definable by a word created by another man. No combination of letters or formulated language can encompass the magnitude of our tragedies. Our pain. Our euphoria.” His eyes find mine, searching deep through me as his fingers softly stroke my hair behind my ear. “Love is beneath us,” he states confidently.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
Some would call me broken. But I've never known anything other than the comfort of my pieces.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
“I believe I’ll keep that one to myself, luv. If I told you all my secrets, there would be no more mystery in our relationship.” “I’m not a big fan of mysteries.” That roguish smile I once hated curls his lips and curls my insides. “Rubbish. You adore them.”
A.G. Howard (Ensnared (Splintered, #3))
She raised her cup and poured acid over her face. Then she turned and marched face-first into the nearest wall. The snake reared up and slammed its head repeatedly into the floor. "Okay," Jason said. "I think we have achieved idiot mode." "Hello! Die!" Hygeia backed away from the wall and face-slammed it again. (...) Another gust of wind levitated him upward. Leo went to work with his pliers, reprogramming the signs until the top one flashed: THE DOCTOR IS: IN DA HOUSE. The bottom sign changed to read: NOW SERVING: ALL DA LADIES LUV LEO!
Rick Riordan (The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, #5))
You play the hand you're dealt just like everyone else in this bloody world. You have gifts people would kill for, no matter that you scorn them. You have a mum who loves you and a nice house to go home to. Sod your backwoods neighbors who look down their ignorant noses at you for your lack of a father. This world is a big place and you've got an important role to play in it. Think everyone goes around whistling about the life they lead? Think everyone is given the power to choose the way their fate goes? Sorry, luv, it doesn't work that way. You hold the ones you love close and fight the battles you can win, and that, Kitten, is how it is.
Jeaniene Frost (Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1))
Heal your harm.

I’ll fucking kill Briony if she ever tries to leave me, then end my miserable fucking life right alongside her. It’s as easy as that.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
Jika sebuah pernikahan hanya menjelma menjadi neraka, lalu untuk apa sebenarnya mempertautkan cinta dalam sebuah ikatan seperti itu? Di hadapan Tuhan pula.

Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
Violence is my love language, and she speaks my native tongue.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
I know you loved him, and he’s Brendan’s father, but he didn’t deserve you. People don’t deserve to have things they don’t respect. He didn’t fucking deserve you, Bridget.” Tears streamed down her face. “How can you sound so sure?” “Because I am, luv. I’ve been insecure about having a relationship my whole life—meeting you changed that. You’ve made me better, more secure than ever, not the opposite. Love makes you stronger, not weaker.
Penelope Ward (Dear Bridget, I Want You)
I smile at the phone, wishing Reggie could see me. 'You're alright then, luv? No dramas?' 'Not a one.' I reach the kitchen. 'Thanks for thinking about me.' 'Gotta look after my girl. Only one I got.' My smile gets even bigger.
Bill Condon (A Straight Line to My Heart)
Not until she begs.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)

sorry, luv, all is far in war/
Jennifer L. Armentrout (Deity (Covenant, #3))
Was the pie good, luv?" she asked. I'd forgotten the pie until that moment. I took a leaf from Dr. Darby's notebook. "Um," I said.
Alan Bradley (The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce, #1))
Sinjin was sitting bare-chested with Petra’s blue feather boa wrapped around his neck and draped over his shoulder. His long dark curls had been teased and sprayed into a sexy mane. Heavy black eyeliner rimmed his eyes. “Am I not gorgeous? I want to snog myself. I’m like a postmodern Lord Byron.” “You put the ironic in Byronic,” Petra quipped. “Well said, luv.
Libba Bray (Beauty Queens)
The worse thing that a man can do is to take his woman for granted; especially a good woman. When God wants to favor a man he gives him a righteous wife. The least he could do was appreciate her.
Sa'id Salaam (Luv In The Club 2)
Sometimes I feel like I’m falling apart slowly, then all at once.” “You are not falling apart, luv,” I tell her, speaking so that my lips touch hers. “You are just falling into place.” “Is that place with you?” she asks, her mouth moving against mine, barely a kiss at all. “What do you think?
Karina Halle (A Ship of Bones & Teeth)
tak setiap kenangan pertama layak terlontar, apalagi di depan seseorang yang telah resmi disatukan dalam pernikahan. Seharusnya kenangan itu tetap menjadi rahasia diri, dipendam dalam relung benak terdalam, ditutup dengan kunci berlapis, dan hanya dibuka jika sedang sendiri.
Dian Nafi (Luv: Untuk Cinta Yang Selalu Menunggu)
So good to see you again, little luv. How I've missed you." Gasping, I fall to my knees. The Caterpillar and the moth and the winged guy. They are all one and the same. They have been all along... "I've seen that bug," Jeb says. "In your car. On the mirror." He drops the backpack and grips my shoulders, trying to drag me to my feet. My legs won't cooperate. "Tut-tut. You are never to bow to me, lovely Alyssa." The voice drifts from the moth's proboscis on gray puffs of smoke. His attention shifts to Jeb. "You, on the other hand, will bow to her.
A.G. Howard (Splintered (Splintered, #1))
Sejak itu dia paham bagaimana rasanya memiliki rahasia dalam pernikahan. Rahasia yang menimbulkan rasa bersalah dalam dirinya, sekaligus candu yang tak mudah dia tinggalkan.
Dian Nafi (Luv: Untuk Cinta Yang Selalu Menunggu)
Aku percaya pada cinta. Aku hanya tidak ingin pernikahan justru menjadi batu sandungan.
Dian Nafi (Luv: Untuk Cinta Yang Selalu Menunggu)
Hidup karena cinta, bukan demi memenuhi tuntutan orang lain.
Dian Nafi (Luv: Untuk Cinta Yang Selalu Menunggu)
Destroy my purity, Aero. Dirty me with your demons.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
She’ll never leave me. I won’t give her that option. Either she chooses me back or we both leave this earth in two dark cavities, dug out next to one another.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
Be my good girl and kiss your prince tonight with my cum still clinging to your lips.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
Touch it and get familiar. It’ll be your favorite new toy, little doll. I promise you.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
We’re toxic. My blood, infected with the same sick love he owns for me. We crave this illness. The pain, the torture, the obsession, the taunting, the teasing, the domination, the submission.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
But you know you're sounding like a jealous wife? Are you jealous, luv? I find that rather amusing, all things considered." "Don't start laughing too soon, because I'm nothing of the sort." "No?" He was still grinning, prompting her to snap, "Your unexpected presence here smacks of jealousy as well, as in checking up on your wife, but you don't hear me accusing you of it." "I believe you just did.
Johanna Lindsey (A Rogue of My Own (Reid Family, #3))
To live for the hope of something isn’t really living at all, and so, like a child putting away its toys and picking up a tool, he marched to Lyca’s bathroom, to shower off the stench of failure, soap up the death of hope, then wash away the ashes of his love for Daphne.
Mark A. Rayner (The Fridgularity)
If it makes some of you so uncomfortable you want to start shit with me about it, step right up and see if I don’t eat the hell out of you next!” I’d meant that last part as a threat, but somewhere in my impassioned declaration of independence from hiding what I was, I’d neglected to think through my phrasing. I saw Bones raise a brow, a muffled snicker broke out from Ian, and then Vlad laughed loud and hearty. “With that sort of invitation, Reaper, you might want to suggest the line form to your right.” “That’s not . . . I meant eat them in a bad way,” I sputtered. “I think you made your point, luv,” Bones responded, his face carefully blank even thought I caught a faint twitch to his mouth.
Jeaniene Frost (This Side of the Grave (Night Huntress, #5))
Jeb presses my knuckles to his chest. “No. I’ll go. You fly back with bug snot.” “Of course,” Morpheus interrupts, his voice edged with something between sarcasm and suggestiveness. “I’ll be happy to take Alyssa back with me. We can pick up where we left off in my bedroom, right, luv?
A.G. Howard (Splintered (Splintered, #1))
You are the fire that burns stagnant, the coals and ash yearning for the chance to ignite, ready to burn cities to the ground in your fierceness. A force more powerful than any man that came before you. You are my fucking existence, Briony. I live and breathe for you alone. I am yours eternally, entirely at your mercy.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
Begini ternyata rasanya berada dalam sebuah ikatan pernikahan. Terasa lebih sakral, suci, dan agung. Garwa. Sigaraning nyawa. Belahan jiwa. Belahan jiwa yang tak hanya disatukan oleh cinta, namun juga disatukan dengan janji suci atas nama Tuhan.
Dian Nafi (Luv: Untuk Cinta Yang Selalu Menunggu)
Ah, mengapa ia justru ingin melihat Armand terluka? Mengapa cinta bisa membuatnya seperti ini? Menjadi pendendam dan perencah jiwa orang yang dikasihinya?
Dian Nafi (Luv: Untuk Cinta Yang Selalu Menunggu)
It's not a bit strange,' I tell her. 'Davey's thinking of taking up shooting as a hobby, so he wants to go check out the rifle range and he asked me if I'd like to go with him.' Kayla snorts. 'Are you kidding me? He should be checking you out - not the rifle range! No way is that a date.' I go to the one person I know I can depend on. 'It is a date, isn't it, Reggie?' 'S'pose it all depends on how it goes,' he says. 'If you have a good time, come home happy, then it's a date.' 'Okay.' 'But if he shoots yer, it wasn't a date - it was an ambush.' 'Reggie! That's mean!' 'You know I'm only kiddin', Tiffy. He puts his arms out and I gladly fall into them. 'Don't worry about what anyone says, luv. It's a date.
Bill Condon (A Straight Line to My Heart)
I pretend to reach for them, but before he can guess my intentions, I catch one of his wings instead. He flutters, trying to break loose, his one free wing batting my hand. I draw out the decanter and stuff him into it, careful to fold his wings. I don’t want to hurt him. I just want to better him. Once he’s settled inside, I shove a paper towel into the bottle’s neck. No need to worry that he’ll smother. After all, he spent that night in a bug trap last year and survived. “Looks like you’re going to have some turbulence on your flight,” I tell him through the glass. His voice fills my head, an angry, scolding growl. When I don’t respond, he yells Chessie’s name. Chessie flits over to the car and sits on the side mirror, licking his paw, amused and uninterested in taking sides. I hold the decanter up to get a closer look at Morpheus. “Game, set, match, luv. You do realize that my human side defeated you, right? No magic required.” Unlike a real moth that would beat itself against the glass walls until exhausted, he hangs under the curved neck, dignified, glaring with his bulbous eyes. If he had a mouth instead of a proboscis, I’d be able to tell if he’s snarling or beaming with pride. Knowing him, it could be either. Most likely, it’s both.
A.G. Howard (Unhinged (Splintered, #2))
He only has two rules for me; give myself over to my hidden desires, and never find out who he is. What he doesn’t realize is he’s creating a monster. One with the same insatiable hunger for the sickest form of toxic love.
Jescie Hall (That Sik Luv)
When I am alive and I am empress. When you have everything I've vowed to you and Ahiranya..." Silence, as Malini cupped Priya's waist with a hand; as she stretched her fingers wide, as if she could encompass it, hold Priya and keep her. "I've dreamt of garlanding you," Malini confessed. A small, secret thing. "Flowers around your throat, and you garlanding me in return. The two of us making our own promises to each other. I've dreamt of naming you my own. My heart. My wife.
Tasha Suri (The Oleander Sword (The Burning Kingdoms, #2))
I swear, that woman’s got a mouth on her worse than you do,” Tyler commented, following in after Bones. “Ian gave her the tiniest smack on the rear when she walked by, and she told him to—” “Ian smacked my mother on the ass?” I cut him off. At Tyler’s nod, I stopped lighting sage and grabbed a silver knife, feeling my fangs pop out of their own accord. “Wait here, I’ll be right back.” Bones blocked my path to the door. “I have it sorted, luv. He won’t do anything like that again, promise.” I stood there for a moment, debating whether to push past Bones so I could slice and dice Ian before stringing him up by the silver rings he had pierced through his parts, when Bones raised his brow. “Don’t you trust me?” “I trust you, not him,” I muttered. He grasped my shoulders. “Then if you trust me, believe that it’s sorted. If he proves me wrong, I vow I’ll hold him down and let you stab him as many times as you please.” That image brought a smile to my face. Talk about looking on the bright side!
Jeaniene Frost (One Grave at a Time (Night Huntress, #6))
Love? Yes. Gideon chuckled. Why did you say yes like that? Oh, I thought you were asking me a question. I see. Then he truly did see what she meant, and his heart flipped over in his chest. Darling? Gideon smiled at the warmth the endearment flooded him with. Yes, Neliss? Oh, nothing. Just fulfilling my end of the deal. The deal? Yes. You made me a deal. You lost me, he sighed. Legna lifted her head, propped an elbow up against the pillow of his chest, and settled her chin in her palm so she could look down at him. “You said that I would get something very special if I called you that.” “Did I?” he asked, his eyes brightening with speculation as he thought back on it. “Actually, I think you have that confused with the deal about saying my name.” “I like your name,” she said with a smile. “I always thought mine was awful snobbish. But yours has me beat hands down.” “My name is one of the finest and oldest names in all of our history.” “That’s only because you have lived to be such an older tosser.” “Tosser?” “British vernacular, luv.” “What are you, my dialect coach all of a sudden? Is this your idea of postcoital pillow talk?” Legna giggled, apologizing with a clinging kiss on his lips. It clearly calmed him, making him smile in a very cat-versus-canary way. “Is there something you would prefer I say?” she asked compliantly. “That yes a few sentences back was great. Short, sweet, to the point.” “Yes,” she agreed. “Yes?” he asked, arching a brow. “Oh, yes,” she assured him, her own brows doing a little lecherous dance. “Mmm, yes,” he murmured as her mouth lowered to his. Yes. Yes. Yes. Legna? Yes? Do not talk with your mouth full. No? No.
Jacquelyn Frank (Gideon (Nightwalkers, #2))
Is this kind of . . . boring for you?” I asked him, feeling self-conscious. “What?” His hand that was resting on my hip tensed. He almost looked offended. I brushed imaginary lint from his shoulder. “I mean, you know, just kissing.” “This is better than anything I’ve ever done.” His voice was soft and sincere. He pushed the long bangs from my eyes. “Besides, have you ever snogged yourself, luv? It’s brilliant.” I laughed, hiding my face in his neck, and he chuckled, too. “Why?” he asked, playing with my hair. “Are you bored? Seeing as how you’ve kissed so many lads now and all?” I whipped my head up. “Ew, I don’t even want to talk about that. Those were gross and sloppy and—” “No details please.” “All right. How about this . . . I could kiss you all night, Kaidan Rowe.” “That’s my plan,” he said. We leaned in and stopped an inch away, interrupted by a persistent beeping coming from down the hall. My heart jumped before I placed the sound. “Brownies in bed?” I asked. He actually stiffened and looked pained. “What’s wrong? Do you have a no-food-in-bed policy?” “No. You’re just . . . turning me on with the whole Betty Crocker bit.” His eyes blurred as he seemed to be imagining something. I couldn’t picture anything sexy about me cooking. I hit him with a pillow and he held up his palms in surrender. “Maybe I’ll bring a glass of ice water in case I need to douse you,” I said, standing to go. “Hurry back,” he called. “I’ll just be here . . . dreaming of you in an apron and oven mitt.” I giggled at the absurdity of it. “You’re so easy,” I muttered. His laughter followed me down the hall, and I basked in it.
