“I will find her.””And when you do?” Roger asked.”I will make her mine,” the warrior answered in a hard, determined voice. “She will be mine.”The vow was made.”

“Someday, my love, you’re going to understand just how much I care for you. You’re my light, my warmth, my other half. I only feel alive when I’m with you. I love you.” Caine”

“You’re bruised, as ugly as one of your Cyclops, and I can barely stand to look at you.” – Duncan to Madelyne.”

“You’re taller than I am, but I’m stronger, and meaner right this minute than you could ever imagine” – Lady Madelyne.”

“The man irritated her just like a rash.”

“You take my heart with you, my loving captor.” “Nay, Madelyne. I am your captive in body and soul.”

“I’ve just vowed my love for you. Have you nothing to say in return?” Duncan asked.”Thank you, husband.”

“Madelyne, we’re married now. ‘Tis a usual occurrence to bed one’s wife on the wedding night.”

“Damn, you’re good,’ he said and rolled onto his back. The man wasn’t much for flowery speech, Alesandra thought with a smile. It didn’t matter. She was arrogantly proud of herself because she’d pleased him. Perhaps she should give him a little praise too. She rolled onto her side to face him, put her hand on his chest directly over his pounded heart, and whispered. ‘You’re good, too. ‘Tis the truth, you’re the best I’ve ever had.’ He opened his eyes to look at her. ‘I’m the only one you’ve ever had, remember?’ His voice was gruff with affection. ‘I remember,’ she said. ‘No other man is ever going to touch you, Alesandra. You’re mine.”

“If you get yourself killed, I’ll find your grave and spit on it,” she threatened.”

“I am ever a gentle maiden,” she shouted. “Damn if I’m not.”

“A woman can’t do anything about her appearance. Either she’s pretty or she isn’t. But her character is quite another matter.”
