Exhibitionist Quote by Abigail Roux
““Nick was still looking at him sideways, but a flush began to appear on his cheeks. Kelly swallowed hard, growing warmer. “You remember that night?” “Yeah, I do.” “You . . . you were, um . . . impressive.” “I knew you were watching,” Nick murmured. “Exhibitionist.” “Voyeur.””
