Gaze Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon
““Kiara went cold as she realized Syn’s hands were covered in blood. “How’d you reopen the damn thing?” he barked at Nykyrian. “I told you to be careful, you idiot. You’re lucky you haven’t bled out.” “Stand down, asshole. You keep making commentary like an old woman and I’ll put your rank ass in a dress.” Syn glared up at him. “You better take a different tone, too, dick. Remember, I’m the one about to have my hands on that wound. You snap at me and I’ll have you crying on the floor like a little girl.” “And I’ll have you lying dead at my feet.””
