Connections Quote by Paula Stokes
““And this time it’s different. This time our bodies slide together like they were made to fit. This time Tyson doesn’t have to tell me to look at him, because I can’t stop. He is all that I see, every inch of dark skin, every curl of hair, every scar or tiny imperfection that all combine to make him seem…perfect. No, not perfect, but perfect for me. This time it’s not about needing an escape. This time it’s about wanting a connection.””
