Hurt Quote by Vivienne Savage
““Were you hurt? You were amazing, soaring into the battle as you did. Let me look at you.” Her hands began to move over his massive chest, fingers traversing his scales once she pulled back to inspect him for injury. He’d lost a few, creating sore spots that burned beneath her touch. Alistair laughed through the pain, and for her benefit, he nuzzled her cheek with his snout. “I am fine, Ana, truly. See?””
