Love's Challenge (Pearl Vampire Chronicles #5)
““Stop,” I said.
“Sarah,” he began, but I held my hand up.
“No, Carlos. I’m not going to sleep with you because Cindy says I should. I’m not going to sleep with you because everyone says it’s inevitable.
You got that? If… IF… I sleep with you it will be because I can’t help it. It’ll be because I can’t stay away from you anymore. It won’t be because people think we should. Understand?” I said. My chest was heaving. I wanted him so much it hurt, but I couldn’t tell him that. Why did thi...s damn desire for him have to come back now? When I was alone here with him? No. I was going to fight this until I had no more fight left in me. I didn’t care that even Matt thought it was inevitable, damn it. Nothing was inevitable… not on my watch.
“Okay, Sarah. I get it. But you have to understand that I’m not going to pretend anymore. We tried it your way, remember? I left for a while, went off on my own, and that didn’t work. I fell in love with somebody, but that didn’t work. We’ve tried it your way and failed, so I’m not going to pretend that I don’t want you so much that I can’t function when you’re around. I just can’t do that anymore. Do you understand?”MoreLess
