Took Gun Quote by Kristen Ashley
““Luke came to me and took the gun out of my hand. “I need to find a way to erase the last three minutes,” he muttered, sounding aggrieved. “Why?” I asked. “I just watched my boy’s sister strip. There’s laws against that,” he replied, not taking his eyes off Mace … but I had a feeling what Luke was doing was studiously avoiding seeing me in sequined undies and stripper shoes. “No there’s not,” I said to Luke and he finally looked at me. “Babe, there are. Trust me,” he stated.””
