Jamie, thought, was something different.

I am yours, it said. And if you will have me, then.” IfsMenWayYearsSaidDifferentWarLightRomanceChallengesKnownSharePromiseDemandExtremesUncertaintyInstantRemarkableCompanionGentlenessJamieProvocationFlirtationLeashes Book:Outlander: (Outlander 1) Source: Outlander: (Outlander 1)
