Expressing yourself Quote by Christine Feehan
““I love you, Francesca,” Gabriel told her solemnly. “I cannot express in words what you are to me.” She smiled up at him. “You do a fairly good job expressing yourself.” His eyebrow shot up. “Fairly good?” “I think your ego is already far too large. I am not about to call you the greatest lover in the world.” His hand cupped her soft breast, his thumb stroking small caresses over her taut nipple. “But you would if it were not for fear of my ego?””
