Lips Parted Quote by C.D. Reiss
““God, I shouldn't have said anything. Because Dash's eyes had gone wide and his lips parted a little, then a lot, and his tongue was fidgeting with his teeth. "Stop looking at me like that." "I'm stuck," he said. "Stuck? What does that mean?" "Between wanting to punch him and wanting to eat you out until you scream. I don't think I can do both at the same time.””
