Briec Quote by G.A. Aiken
““Briec removed his clothes and slipped into bed with her, wrapping his arms around her waist and snuggling her from behind. “Izzy?” “That’s just ridiculous,” he growled. She glanced at him over her shoulder. “It could have been worse. I could have said Gwenvael.” “And forced me to kill my own brother.””
