Attraction Quote by Jennifer Ellision
““Do I look the sort to cause trouble?" he asks. For the first time, he looks me directly in the eye. I catch my breath as his eyes slam into me. They're the gray of the sky right before a blizzard. "Well, they did just throw you into a cell," I say, voice soft. "But, no." I break our gaze, finishing my thoughts silently. You like the sort that brings it.””
