“There are lots of things you can do, Ava. But I can't ask you to do any of them.”

“Do I turn you on, Ava?”

“Do you believe in fate, Ava?”

“Just tell me one thing before you leave, Ava.” His voice prickles at my senses… His face is serious, but still stunning. “How loud do you think you’ll scream when I fuck you?”

“Ava, you're asking me not to touch you. That goes against all of my instincts.”

“Is there any particular date you would like to become Mrs Ava Ward?”

“Ava, neither of us anticipated each other and for very different reasons. I know your parents opinion counts for a lot to you, and as it means so much to you, it means a lot to me too. My priority is you. You're all that matters to me. I love you.”
