Kissing Quote by Tara Brown
““He stops kissing, but his lips stay touching mine, lightly, like a feather would. "I'm bad for you, Sarah. I won't ever be the gentleman you need." "Maybe I don’t want gentle." He pulls something from his dress pants and presses it into my hand. "And that is my fault.””
