Gaze Quote by Diana Gabaldon
““You tell me exactly what happened, ye filthy wee pervert,” Fraser whispered, his breath hot on Grey’s face and smelling of ale. He shook Grey slightly. “Every word. Every motion. Everything.” Grey got just enough breath to answer. “No,” he said defiantly. “Go ahead and kill me.””
