He stepped back to let Rase in. Rase had been expecting something in keeping with the rest of the building. Instead, Gabriel's apartment was shabby but spotless. It was one main room with a niche for the kitchen and a tiny bathroom that Rase could see through a narrow door that stood ajar. He walked to the center of the room and found himself only feet from Gabriel's bed, a sizable bed with a heavy iron frame. That stopped him in his tracks, and he stood there, wondering what to do with himself. \"Beer?\" Gabriel was so close that Rase could feel Gabriel's breath on his hair. \"This isn't a social call,\" Rase said, not even trying to keep his voice steady. \"Then why are your clothes still on?”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Anah Crow" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/anah-crow/it-was-knock-or-go-home-and-die-rase-knocked-the-door-opened-with/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a2d/anah-crow-61695_bdsm_it-was-knock-or-go-home-and-die-rase-kno_1073028.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a2d/anah-crow-61695_bdsm_it-was-knock-or-go-home-and-die-rase-kno_1073028.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a2d/anah-crow-61695_bdsm_it-was-knock-or-go-home-and-die-rase-kno_1073028.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It was knock or go home and die.
