Gaze Quote by Sam Crescent
““Someone was shaking her to wake up. Charlotte swatted at the hand in the hope the owner would leave her alone. “Come on, baby, rise and shine. Time to get ready.” She moaned and turned away, grunting for whoever it was to leave her alone. “I need to sleep,” she called. “Shall I strip naked and join you in bed?” Charlotte jerked upright. Micah stood with his hands by his side and an arrogant smile on his face. “Is the invitation still open?” “It was never open,” she replied.””
