Every man Quote by Linda Howard

“It’s not something I can control, damn it. Every man I know wakes up with a hard-on.” “Maybe so, but they do not – repeat, do not - rub it on me.” “ ‘Every man I know’ wasn’t rubbing it on you! It was just me!” “And it was just your hair that I pulled, wasn’t it?” she asked sweetly.” quote by Linda Howard
