Love Quote by Katherine Allred

“The idea of him making love to anyone else sent a shaft of pain straight through my middle. “You better wait on me, damn it.” “I don’t think I have much choice.” He brushed my hair back. “You’re the only one I’ve ever wanted, Alix, the only one I’ll ever want. That’s a promise.” quote by Katherine Allred
