Gaze Quote by Gena Showalter
““Did she imagine the fire that suddenly sparked in Lucien’s mismatched eyes? Did she imagine the way his nostrils flared in awareness? Now or never. Licking her lips, never removing her gaze from him, she eased into a sensual bump and grind and made her way toward his table. Halfway, she stopped and motioned for him to join her with a crook of her finger. He stood in front of her a moment later, as if he’d been pulled by an invisible chain, unable to resist. Up close, he was six-feet-six of muscle and danger. Pure temptation. Her lips edged into a slow smile. “We meet at last, Flowers.””
