Drawn together Quote by Maya Banks
““He drew away, his brows drawn together as he stared at her in question. “What’s wrong?” She would have laughed but she was too unhinged to do more than just stand there gaping at him. “You just kissed me and then you ask me what’s wrong?” He frowned. “Was it that bad?” This time she did laugh. “I think you know it wasn’t bad. Why did you kiss me, Steele? What the hell is going on here?” “I want us to have sex,” he said bluntly.””
