Christian Quote by E.L. James

“Jack has been cracking the whip. Er . . . I mean . . .” I flush and fall silent. Christian says nothing for a moment. “Cracking the whip, eh? Well, there was a time when I would have called him a lucky man.” His voice is full of dry humor. “Don’t let him get on top of you, baby.” “Christian!” quote by E.L. James
