Gaze Quote by Kresley Cole
““You could be my goddess queen. Together, we’d build the largest settlement on earth! With your crops and my sun, we’d feed thousands. Between your thorns and my Bagmen, we’d maintain order.” Order. Jack had wanted the same thing. I absently said, “That is something to think about. Well, except for the goddess queen part.” “Don’t knock that part, pequeña. It’s my favorite detail about our future. We would do our duty and repopulate the world. Because we are givers. I, myself, would be devoted to giving.” I quirked a brow at him. “No kids for me. Would you really bring children into a world like this?” Eyes alight with playfulness, he said, “No. It was just an excuse to get in your pants.” “Ugh. Behave. Or you’ll get a vine where the sun don’t shine.””
