Gaze Quote by Thomas Fahy
““Emma must feel Jake stiffen because she pulls back. He can't see her eyes in the dark and wonders if she is going to say something. Instead she kisses him on the mouth. Then her hand slides slowly down his chest and stomach. She doesn't slip it inside his jeans. She just presses it against his erection. Jake inhales sharply, and he's pretty sure he hears Duncan mutter, "Get a room.””
