"...It’s not your Rosalyn you really want.” She swayed toward him, silver in the moonlight, like an idol of her heathen gods.

“It’s not you I want.”

Ashur laughed at him. “We want the same thing, Stone. Him.”

“You think so?”

“And he wants us. You know that. Can’t you see it in his eyes? I’ve watched him with you. He loves you, Stone. Loves you as only the damned can truly love, embracing the pain and betrayal along with the passion.”

“Really?”

“He loves you as he loved me. As he has loved no other, save for his spiteful God.”

And fragments from a WIP amnesty Day. I love the tit;e "Broken, in the place of dragons" (it's from Psalm 44:19)

Bitterness in the metallic voice as a large hand rested on her belly. “Too early. Too early to tell.” He withdrew and caught her chin between gloved fingers. “Little Empress, if that child within you is not my son’s, it will not be born. If your toy pirate has planted it, he has signed his own death warrAnt.”

She jerked her chin from his hand. “I would remind you exactly who is the Empress, Lord Vader, and who is merely a superannuated servant.”
