Handcuffs Quote by Abigail Roux
““Kelly pulled out a pair of handcuffs and thrust them at Park. “Why the hell do you have those?” Ty asked. Kelly shrugged and grinned. “They’re Nick’s.” “Oh God, no,” Ty blurted covering his eyes. Nick laughed. He rolled over and pushed himself to his hands and knees, but he remained there, either unable or unwilling to stand. He glanced up at Ty and Zane. “He likes the uniform, too.” “No no no!” Ty cried.””
