   • 2007, Christie Ridgway, His Forbidden Fiancee:

     "I want to bottle up this feeling," she told him, awed by its strength. Sexual chemistry, who knew? "We could market it and make a kabillion dollars."
     "A kabillion is a lot," he murmured, then turned his attention to her left ear. Goose bumps sprinted across every inch of her skin as his tongue feathered over the rim to tickle the lobe. "A kabillion-ten," she corrected herself. "In the first year."

   • 2022, Wiley Backlash, The Last Gold Ring: A Saga-Initial Offering A Beginning:

     Now, remember we are one in a kabillion frequencies times a kabillion more. God can see them all at once and causes it to move at will. By the way, I made up the word "kabillion." It just sounds really big and should be a word anyway. You can make up how many zeros that should be.
