Gaze Quote by Heather Graham
““David turned to Alex suddenly. “You all right?” he asked softly. “Of course I’m all right,” she said. He was studying her gravely. Then a slight smile curved his lips. “Why?” she asked cautiously. His head moved closer. His lips were nearly against her ear. When he spoke, it seemed that his voice and the moisture of his breath touched her almost like a caress. “You’ve been undressing me with your eyes,” he told her. “You are undressed,” she informed him.””
