Gaze Quote by Sherry Thomas
““Make no sounds. Do not, under any circumstances, make any sounds. She faltered. A whimper of unutterable pleasure escaped her tightly clenched teeth. Deep inside her, a dam that had been ceaselessly reinforced crumbled. Years upon years of pent-up desires flooded her. Suddenly she couldn’t care less that she must remain quiet and pliant. She wanted. She wanted. She wanted. She gripped him by the lapel and yanked him to her.””
