Blake Quote by Debra Anastasia
““I’d prefer to stand when ladies are standing,” he said quietly to Livia. She longed to smooth a balm on all his wounds. “Blake, I’m exhausted. What I really need is a nice, strong lap to sit on to get me out to the car.” He reached up and stroked her hair. “I could be a lap for you, my tired angel.””
