Christine Feehan Quote

You snuck past me, didn’t you? Ian accused. I knew I hadn’t gone to sleep.Sam understood what Ian was doing: giving Ryland time to assimilate the danger to his son and come to terms with it. He deliberately drew attention away from their leader.Many times, as a matter of fact, Azami said, willing to sacrifice herself so that Ryland could take a moment to recover and hold his child close. I tweaked your chin once.Ian rubbed his chin, glaring at her. You did. I felt it. A draft hit me and it felt like someone pulled a hair from my chin.I was red and I couldn’t resist. You really need to shave, Azami pointed out. What’s with that little red fuzz on your chin anyway? Is it some sort of statement I don’t understand?Statement? Ian flared, stroking the tiny little red vee on his chin. This is manly, woman. Don’t you know that?Azami gave a slight bow, lowering her lashes and chin demurely, but not before Sam caught the sparkle in her eyes. Forgive me, Ian, I did not know a man of your stature needed fuzz to be manly. I can only plead ignorance of this custom.The men snickered and nudged Ian, Tucker reaching out to touch the red fuzz. Ian punched his arm away.
