Christine Feehan Quote

The rock spun out of his hand so fast, she heard it buzz through the air. It skimmed across the water, hop after hop like a leapfrog racing across the water. It went on and on until it had crossed the lake and had hopped onto the opposite shore. Well, he mused softly, a masculine taunt in his voice, I would say that about wraps things up. Twenty-two skips all the way to the other side. He sounded very complacent. I believe you get to be my slave and brush my hair for me at each rising.Francesca shook her head. What I believe is, you rigged this wager. You did something to win.It is called practice. I have spent much time skipping rocks across the lake.Francesca laughed softly. You are not telling the truth, Gabriel. I don’t believe you ever skipped a rock in your life until now. You tricked me.You think? He asked it innocently. Too innocently.You know you did. Just to win a silly bet. I can’t believe you.He reached out to tuck a wayward strand of hair behind her ear, making her heart leap wildly. It was not just a silly bet, honey, it was a way to get you to brush my hair. No one has ever done such a thing for me and I think I crave attention. He rubbed the bridge of his nose again and grinned at her almost boyishly. I asked Lucian to do so once and he threatened to beat me to a bloody pulp. He shrugged his broad shoulders. Some things are just not worth it, you know.
