"So do you love me?" the question only met with a mocking silence and his stunned eyes when she felt silly.
How many times did she have to learn the lesson to remember that he did not love her. But now it made her wonder if he could ever love?
"I will protect you." his voice took her attention and her eyes met his.
Those words sounded like a vow. And a stinging truth that this promise was all he could offer in exchange for her body!
But what else did she want in the first place?
"If it is only the love of flesh you want, I think I can offer you that." if he thought his words would ease her mind, he was utterly foolish.
She had never been so conflicted, so frustrated with the push and pull of my body. she felt extreme, deep hatred and burning desire.
