Quotes About Trust

Helaine Fairgrieve wasn't sure what to do when her rent was raised suddenly, until her long time acquaintance, Evan DuRosier, offered her a solution that would benefit the both of them. Helaine travels to his apartment in the less than reputable art district of the city to indulge his less than conventional desires, only to learn that he's keeping a dark secret. She's has never been in handcuffs before, much less bound and suspended from a man's ceiling while he pours hot wax on her sensitive skin. She isn't sure what's more frightening, the knife gliding across her skin, or the fact that she loves every pulse-pounding second of it. BDSM is normally based on a foundation of trust; lacking that, Evan and Helaine's relationship begins as something of a transactional nature, until she discovers that his lust for blood is more than just a fetish. What will she do when she discovers the truth about his Vampirism?

As I gazed into his eyes, I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, as if I had known him for years. "There's something about you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "Something that draws me to you." He smiled, revealing a set of perfect teeth. "I feel it too," he said, his voice low and melodic. "It's like we were meant to meet." I couldn't deny the electricity that coursed through me as he spoke, and I found myself leaning closer to him, wanting to feel his warmth. "Who are you?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me. He chuckled softly, his eyes crinkling with amusement. "I'm just a guy," he said. "But I've been told that I have a certain charm." I couldn't help but laugh at his modesty, knowing full well that he was more than just a guy. He had an aura about him, a sense of confidence and self-assurance that was both intimidating and alluring. As we continued to talk, I found myself opening up to him, sharing things that I had never told anyone before. It was like he was a confidant, someone that I could trust with my deepest secrets. And as we parted ways, I knew that I had met someone special. He was more than just a guy, he was a kindred spirit, a soulmate that I had been searching for all my life.

Elena thought she would never mate with anyone in her life because she didn't trust men: her pack's Alpha possessed her twin sister at a very young age of her, and her father ran a business selling other girls including her best friend. All the men in the world were dirty, cunning, selfish, violent bastards to her, until she met Alpha Archer. But just when she was finally able to trust, he cut off their mate bond.

On the one evening following her mating ceremony, Ada caught her supposed mate and his own sister in an incestuous relationship with each other.

But the Moon Goddess granted her another occasion. Born a year before death, Ada recalls everything. This time it is blood she wants.

He turns out to be her true destined mate who was marked by the Moon Goddess. It is now up to Ada to pursue a course of vengeance or to accept the relationship that she never realized she was destined to ever have. ______________________________________________ "I died believing in the wrong man," Ada sneered. He bent in, eyes aglow. "Then this time trust the right one. Trust me. Give me a chance." She squinted. "Do you want to take vengeance for what they did to you? Then I swear that I will give you their hearts and tender them to you myself." "I can deal with this, myself, she snapped. "I don't want you involve in this." "I know you are," he said, moving in closer, voice gruff. "But it is my duty to keep you safe, so I am getting involved." She was about to protest when he interrupted her-- “I have lost you before, Ada, to those monsters. I am not going to allow them to take you from me again."
