Gaze Quote by Tessa Dare
““He went slowly at first. But slowly didn't last long. Soon a more urgent rhythm took hold as his thrusts increased in both speed and intensity. The force of his passion took her breath away, but Maddie would be damned before she'd ask him to stop. She loved feeling just how much he wanted her, just how desperately his body needed hers to be complete.””
