I have the feeling we just made a deal with the devil, and he's going to come back and want our first-born child or something."
Daemon waggled his brows. "You want kids? Because you know, practice makes--"
"Shut up." I shook my head and started walking.

Kitten..." "Don't Kitten me." I scowled, on a roll now. "You left around five or so and didn't get back till when? Past two in the morning? What were you guys doing? And get that stupid smile off your face. This isn't funny." Daemon tried to get rid of the smile but failed. "I love when your claws come out.

Honestly, as much as I love my brother, Iβm not sure how I feel about him hanging out in your bedroom.β He reached out with a muscular arm and used his fingers to brush a few strands of hair off my cheek, tucking them behind my ear. I shivered, and he smiled. βI feel like I need to mark my territory.β βShut up.β βOh, I love it when you get all bossy-pants. Itβs sexy.

I shot him a look. "That bouncer was really big."
His lips quirked. "Oh, Kitten, see, I try not to say bad things."
"What?"
The grin spread. "I would say size doesn't matter but it does. I would know." he winked, and I let out a disgusted groan. He laughed.

It's a game box. They were invented so teenagers wouldn't have to talk to grownups.

Well, she made it okay in her mind, but full-blown sex with someone she barely knew, half-trusted, and who had some questionable tendencies was worrisome.

Caffeine. Lots of it. And still I looked as if I'd been dragged across most of Texas and then dumped (unhappily) in a pile of prickly pear. It's funny how Texas comes out in you when you're in Texas. Poor Opal was curious but determined not to ask what had happened after I'd gone to my room the night before.
"What are we looking for?" I asked. I'd probably asked that already, but forgot that I'd asked. That's what kind of day it was.

I Never Knew What They Meant by Flyover Country
until the first time someone put me on a plane, windowed me
into the congregation looking down on our fields stretched out
endless in orderly blanks, redactions in the transcripts of the trial
of man versus nature. All this holy squinting at scrimshaw country
roads draped with power lines - trip wires lying in wait for the giants
we just sort of mice around. I watched the others look down on
our Fridays racing Opal Road to hit the tiny hill that drops stomachs
like a roller coaster, headlights off for cops. Eighty; Ninety. Ninety-five
in a fifty-five, how Kyle's brother talked about defusing IEDs on tour -
snip whichever wire you want, you'll only find out if you're a hero.
We learned a word for this, its reckless in court, predestination
in church. Funny how a thing gets a different name there. Robe becomes
vestment. Bench becomes pew. Truth grows a capital letter. Anything
to help believe, Mom says, though when it comes to theology we are
Presbyterian in casseroles only. This is the word of God, says the pastor
into the microphone. See you at the picnic after. See you at the finish,
says Kyle's Honda Civic. See you never says his brother's IED.

It was funny how a dream really just contained the absolute best and absolute worst parts of the animal world. Sheβd been so afraid of the absolute worst that sheβd forgotten how she missed the absolute best.
