Desire Quote by Christina Lauren

“I love to taste you, do you notice?” I curl my hands into fists around the pillowcase. “I think this sweetness is just for me. I pretend your desire has never been like this.” He dips a finger inside and brings it up to my lips. “For everyone else it was never so silky and sweet. Tell me it’s true.” quote by Christina Lauren
