Licked Lips Quote by Rachel Van Dyken
““Gabe continued to stare, as if it was some sort of weird stare off where, if I backed off first, I’d be the loser and have to do something really embarrassing like admit he had a physical effect on my body. “Shh,”Lisa said in a low voice. “No sudden movements he’ll take it as a challenge and start chasing.” “Me thinks she wants to be chased.” Gabe licked his lips.””
