Gaze Quote by Diane Alberts
““Oh my god." She threw her hands up. "It's a sex injury. You don't have to go all Dr. McDreamy on me, for the love of God." His lips quirked. "You can call me that while I fuck you if you want," he said, his voice heavy despite his amusement. "But we're not moving on until I treat you." She crossed her arms. "Maybe I should call you Dr. McStubborn. Or Dr. McAss." She pressed her lips together. "Or Dr. McCo-" He rubbed his jaw. "I think I get the point. I'm a stubborn ass. Now let me look at your back." "Yeah? Well..." She lifted her chin. "I'm refusing treatment." He stiffened. "I'm refusing your refusal." "I'm refusing your refusal of my refusal." "I'm refusing-" He broke off and shook his head, looking up at the sky. "You know what? We're wasting time. Sit down.””
