	    <![CDATA["Pressing my head to his heart, I listened hard, straining to hear any gurgle or murmur of life. Hearing nothing, I felt the shock settle into my mind, slowing it down and then turning it off.
&quot;Don't leave me, Noah. Please, don't go,&quot; I whispered into the darkness as the light spray of rain touched my face.
If only I could turn back time.
I would tell him yes." -- Karen Ann Hopkins]]>

	    <![CDATA["I get to keep you,” he said, staring at me with an
intensity that made me shiver.
“Keep me?” I asked, reaching up to kiss his chin and trail
kisses down his perfect neck.
“Not here. I can’t take much more, Pagan. I’m only so
strong,” he said in a husky voice as he pulled me against his
chest. “You’re mine now. While you walk the Earth you
belong to me. Nothing can hurt you.” I heard a touch of
humor in his voice. “It’s pretty impossible to hurt what Death
protects." -- Abbi Glines]]>

	    <![CDATA["Yelena, you've driven me crazy. You've caused me considerable trouble and I've contemplated ending your life twice since I've known you.&quot; Valek's warm breath in my ear sent a shiver down my spine.

&quot;But you’ve slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart.”

“That sounds more like a poison than a person,” was all I could say. His confession had both shocked and thrilled me.

“Exactly,” Valek replied. “You have poisoned me." -- Maria V. Snyder]]>

She didn't try to tell him that he wasn't God, that he couldn't protect everyone. He knew that. 

But knowing and believing were two different things. What she did say succeeded in stopping his heart. &quot;I wish you'd love me.&quot;

&quot;Why?&quot;

&quot;Because then maybe you could protect me, too.&quot; Haunting sorrow whispered through her tone." -- Nalini Singh]]>

Illium's lips curved in a wicked smile that did little to hide the intensity of his emotions. &lt;i&gt;I would not watch you die again, Sire.&lt;/i&gt; His veins stood out against his skin as he gripped the wrist of one hand with the other.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Raphael met those eyes of gold that had stood beside him for centuries. &lt;i&gt;If I had done so, I would have gone knowing you would keep my heart safe.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Illium's gaze went to Elena. &lt;i&gt;Always.&lt;/i&gt;" -- Nalini Singh]]>
