I've got libraries in my blood.
Charlaine Harris

There were definitely parts of my character I didn’t approve of, and maybe from time to time I had moments when I didn’t like myself much. But I got through each day as it came to me, and so far I’d survived every thing life had thrown at me. I could only hope that the survival was worth the price I’d paid.

I did what I have been told to do by my queen. In so doing, I fell into a trap I couldn't escape. I still can't. The trap of LUUUUVVVV, I thought sarcastically. But he was too serious, too calm, to mock.

I stroked Eric's hair, tucking some behind his ear. His eyes on mine were intent, and I knew he was waiting for me to speak. I wish, I said, I could save orgasms in a jar for when i need them, because I think I had a few extra. Eric's eyes widened, and all of a sudden he roared with laughter. (Dead to the World)

I felt like a car that had only been operated by one driver… a car its new prospective buyer was determined to take to the Daytona 500.

He pulled my coat off my shoulders, looked at it with distaste, hung it on the back of one of the chairs pushed in under the kitchen table. You are beautiful. No one had ever looked me in the eyes and said that. Eric to Sookie, Page 208.

I snuck a look to see how Eric was taking this, and he was staring at me the same way the Monroe vampires had. Thoughtful. Hungry. That's interesting, he said. I had a psychic once. It was incredible. Did the psychic think so?
