Awkward Quote by Christine Feehan
““Nicolas felt awkward. If she needed him to shoot someone for her, he was her man, but comforting her was something altogether different. He didn’t like feeling uncertain; it was foreign to his nature. Men didn’t pet women like dogs, did they? He put his arm around her, drew her closer to him.””
