Bad thing Quote by Thea Harrison
““He gave her a lazy predatory smile as he moved his torso over heres. "You're not afraid of me at all anymore, are you?" She sobered. Call her crazy, but she thought he would rather cut off his hands than hurt her. "So what if I'm not?" she muttered. His beautiful, cruel mouth pulled into a smile. "I think if your're not crazy, it's a very good thing," he said. He moved, and before she realized what he intended, he had her hands pinned over her head. "It gives me all kinds of license to do bad things to you. With you. On you. In you.””
