Teasing Quotes

“Kieran?'

He looked at me.

'Please... please try to be careful.'

He lifted his brows. 'Are you worried about me?'

Crossing my arms, I nodded.

'Don't be nice to me,' he replied, and I sensed amusement from him. 'It weirds me out.'

'Sorry.'

He smiled then as he walked to where I stood. 'You don't sound remotely sorry.'

I grinned at him.

'Do me a favour,' Kieran said, looking down at me. 'Protect your Prince, Poppy.”

“You're an absolutely stunning, murderous little creature,' he murmured.

'There'll be time for all the sweet whispers later,' Jasper said, and when Casteel pulled back, there was a fire in his eyes. 'You do look quite lovely, Penellaphe.'

'Thank you,' I said.

'What about me?' Casteel asked, and behind him, Naill sighed.

'You look passable.'

'That was rude,' he replied.

'Would you like to go sit in the shade and nurse your wounded feelings? Like you did when you were young and inevitably injured yourself doing something incredibly stupid?'

Casteel's brows lowered as he looked over at Jasper. 'This marriage ceremony is starting off in a really weird way.”

“I still have one question,' she said.

If the story curse had been capable of breathing, it might have held its breath just then.

It watched as the not-quite-human-boy raised an offended brow. 'You only have one?'

'No- I actually have far more.' She worried her lips between her white teeth.

Something shifted in the not-quite-human's eyes; he looked as if he wanted to take her lip between his teeth as well. 'You can ask me whatever you want, Little Fox.'

'Splendid!' Her mouth turned up into a sweet smile. 'Tell me about the apples.'

'Next question.'

'You said I could ask whatever I wanted.'

The not-quite-human-boy's eyes turned teasing, sparking with little flecks of silver. 'I didn't say that I would answer.

The girl's mouth fell into a pout.

The not-quite-human reached out with one finger and traced her lower lip. 'It doesn't matter,' he said softly. 'I don't need them anymore.”

“So you've decided to sacrifice me?' he asked.

'I would never do that!'

'I know.' His eyes turned teasing, sparking with tiny flecks of silver. 'I've seen what a mess you become when I'm not around.'

“You saw me but didn't say hello? I'm wounded, Miss Antonius.'

Synton's voice was like a deep rumble of thunder in her ear as he finally dropped his hands but didn't step back.

'Perhaps I was getting the lay of the land. A lady must know where it's safe to step,' she quipped.

'Yet you're stepping all over my ego.'

'Forgive me, my lord. I had no idea you'd be so easily damaged.”
― Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen

“[...] She made me this way. She made me special. She made me beautiful.'
'Why?'

“A woman in possession of a bomb is in want of a reason to use it."
"Oh god help us, she's been reading old shit again." Kuma said.
"Hanging up now," Naira said. "Tell me if anything blows up that's not supposed to."
She hung up before Cav could get out more than a mangled " but-"
Naira half sensed eyes on her, and half turned to arch a brow at Tarquin.
"Pride and Prejudges?" He grinned sheepishly and brushed the hair off his forehead. "I knew you read nonfiction, but somehow fiction didn't fit in with all the... shooting and bombing.”

“Gently, he pried my fingers from the dagger. 'I'm just putting this down. It's still within reach in case you want to stab me.'

I watched him lean over me, placing it on my other side. 'I don't want to stab you,' I croaked out.

'That would be a first,' he teased, and I hiccupped a shaky laugh. 'Try to remember you said that later when I'm sure I'll give you a reason to stab me.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

“What are you doing?' I demanded.

'Making sure you're comfortable.'

'And how will you accomplish that by lying on top of me?'

'I won't.' A shadowy grin appeared. 'I'm doing that because I like lying on top of you.'

'Well, I don't.' I bit out, pulse thundering.

His chest brushed against mine, sending a velvet shiver through me. 'That's a lie.'

'It's not.' I held the dagger to his neck. 'Truly.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

“You are...'

'Marvellous? Charming? Undeniable?'

“Don't cry.' He lifted my hand to his mouth and kissed the centre of my palm.

'I'm not crying. I'm not sad,' I told him, and he grinned. The stupid dimple in his right cheek appeared. 'I hate that stupid dimple.'

'You know what I think?' He kissed the tip of my finger.

'I don't care.'

The dimple in his left cheek appeared. 'I think you feel the exact opposite when it comes to my stupid dimples.”

“I... I, uh, have a headache.'

'Ah, I see.' Straight white teeth appeared as the Lord smiled more broadly. 'I'm guessing that headache is a rather large one? Perhaps if you had to describe it, you'd say that it came in a six-foot-and-seven-inch frame?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Fall of Ruin and Wrath

“Ce ne serait pas si étonnant pour un Olympien, ajouté-je. Ce sont tous des voleurs de culotte.

Il se met à bouillir d'agacement.

- Mais tu n'en portes même pas !

- Ben non ! Sinon tu les volerais !

C'est si absurde et drôle que je serre les dents.

- Et d'ailleurs, comment tu sais que je n'en porte pas ? relancé-je en croisant les bras.”

“What will you do, my lady?' Moonlight kissed the apple of his cheekbone as he tilted his head once more. 'You have no shadowstone dagger to threaten me with.'

'I don't need a dagger,' I said, my voice thready. 'And I'm not a lady.'

His head straightened. 'No, I imagine not, considering you're nude in a lake with an unfamiliar man, whose lip you bit upon meeting, and have seen the bare backs of many sailors. I was only being polite.'

My lip curled at the presumed insult. I knew I should let it go. Keep my mouth shut, but I didn't. I hadn't in three years, and my inability to do so had grown and festered into an incurable disease. The kind that provoked further, dangerous recklessness. 'What I am is a Princess who is nude in a lake with an unfamiliar man and has seen the bare backs of men,' I told him, speaking the forbidden. 'And you, with each passing moment, are getting closer to no longer having the ability to see anyone's unmentionable places ever again.”

“I sat back, crossing my arms. 'Why are you even here? You could've left once you realised I was okay.'

'I could've left, but like I said before, it would be incredibly rude to leave someone unconscious on the ground,' he returned.

'Well, aren't I lucky that you're a polite pervert?'

Ash laughed, low and smoky. 'Why haven't you left, liessa?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Shadow in the Ember

“I'm not sure why I'm still here talking to you.'

'Perhaps you feel indebted to me since I watched over you while you were unconscious.'

'I was unconscious for a few moments. It's not like you stood guard for endless hours.'

'I am quite important. Those moments felt like hours.'

'I do not like you,' I said.

He eyes shifted to mine, and that curve of his lips remained. 'But you see, you do. That's why you're still here and no longer threatening to claw my eyes out.'

I snapped my mouth shut.

Ash winked.

'The clawing of the eyes could still happen,' I warned him.

'I don't think so.' He bit down on that lower lip of his again, the act snagging my gaze once more. 'Besides the fact that you know you won't succeed, you said I was beautiful, and clawing my eyes out would ruin that, wouldn't it?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Shadow in the Ember

“But there's something I want to make clear. You didn't do anything wrong to cause me not to fulfil the deal.'

I opened my eyes. 'Because you changed your mind and simply had no need of a Consort?'

'Especially not one who stabs me,' he remarked.

I frowned at the hint of teasing in his voice. 'Are you going to bring that up continuously?'

'Every chance I get.'

'Great,' I muttered, rolling my eyes despite the rising curiosity. 'Now I wish I'd stabbed you harder.'

'That's rude.'

'Some would consider leaving your Consort to be abandoned on a throne for three years rude,' I retorted. 'But what do I know?”
