Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“She winced at the rush of pain that shuddered through the base of her skull. “Holy balls, my head hurts.” “God, your mouth.” The way he said it almost sounded like a groan. “I think you like my mouth.” The instant the words were out she wished she could reel them back in. Oh yeah, clearly she had a concussion. Or freaking brain damage. To her surprise, his lips pulled up in the first honest to God smile she’d ever seen from him.
