Gaze Quote by Rebecca Zanetti
““He drew his weapon and pointed it between Greyson’s eyes. Maureen gasped and slapped his arm. “Raze? Stop that. Stop it right now.” In answer, Raze used his free hand to grab her chair and roll her behind him. “She leaves before anything goes down,” he said, his gaze fierce. Greyson, to his credit, didn’t blink. Maureen stood and smacked her brother on the top of the head with the flat of her hand. Jax winced. “Don’t make him shoot, darlin;” Greyson yawned. “Jesus Christ, I’m tired of this shit. Maureen, sit the hell back down. Raze, drop the gun. Jax, say something interesting.” The merc leader glanced sideways at Damon. “You, I like. You’re it. You’re the only person I like anywhere right now.” Damon signed. “That’s a heavy burden, Grey. Just sayin’.””
