A-man-above-reproach Quote by Evelyn Pryce

“Elias was so close that she could not even draw a breath before his lips were on hers. ... She could not deny that she wanted him with all her heart, in wanton ways and practical ways, day and night. Almost losing him was far scarier than the life-threatening situations she had faced on her own.” quote by Evelyn Pryce
