The only thing better than imagining Dimitri carrying me in... - Richelle Mead, Vampire Academy

"Do you think I'm pretty?I think you're beautifulBeautiful?You are so beautiful, it hurts sometimes."

"You…you got rid of that dress fast,"I pointed out between heavy breaths. "I thought you liked it.""I do like it,"he said. His breathing was as heavy as mine. "I love it."And then he took me to the bed."

"If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you."

"A ghostly smile flickered across his face. "If you weren't so psychotic, you'd be fun to hang around.""Funny, I feel that way about you too."He didn't say anything else, but the smile grew, and he walked away."

"But I couldn't help myself, couldn't help the way I felt as I recalled the bliss and rush of a vampire's bite."
