Gaze Quote by Marsha Canham
““Wh-what do you think you are doing?" "I am getting some sleep, Governess. And so help me, if you keep me from it, your lovely backside will be a latticework of switch marks." Summer held her breath as Wade yawned, shifted, and settled into a more comfortable position. Surely he was not thinking she would remain with him like this for the rest of the night! "Captain Wade, I must insist--!" "Blood””
