Gaze Quote by Pierce Smith
““Mesmerized, Noah looked back at his mask, and then at Ethan’s blue eyes, which were scanning Noah’s shocked face. Ethan’s cunning eyes were saying what he had planned for the night. Noah fell on his shoulder and immediately Ethan took a hold of him, “Babes, are you alright?” and spreading his arms around his naked shoulder.””
