“So ask me again why I’ll win a battle of wills.” “Fine.” She jammed her feet under the covers. “Why?” “Because I’m immortal and you’re a mere human. I have an eternity to out-stubborn you.”

“You know I could crush you.""I know you won't.""Why, because I need to protect you?""No," She poked him in the breastplate. "Because you gave me a pillow.”

“What does she look like?" Sin asked."Like she'd look good on a mattress."Sin jammed her fists on her hips. "That tells me nothing, and aren't you mated?""I'm also a sex demon. I didn't go blind when I took a mate.”

“I’m so jealous,” she whispered, and he blinked.“Of what?”Her head fell back on the pillow, and she stared up at the ceiling with the saddest eyes he’d ever seen.“You’re so alive, Lore. There’s fire in you. A will to live, when all I want is to be done with this life.”

“I’ll park somewhere dark.” She fisted his T-shirt, not even ashamed of her desperation. “Out of the way—“ ”Tempting…so…fucking…tempting.” He gently peeled her hand away, slammed the door, and got in the driver’s side.

I need more than a fuck. I need to make love to you until neither one of us can move, because after tonight, I don’t want there to be even the slightest doubt that you’re mine.”

“He sobered as he gazed at her, then took a deep breath and pulled away. “I’m not normally affected like this. It’s you. You’re putting off some hellacious fuck-me vibes.”“Not enough, apparently,” she muttered.”

“Instinct made him want to fold her into his arms and fix her hurt, but instead, he steeled himself to finish it."What? Why do you look so suprised? You are a sex demon. Did you think we could ride off into the sunset, set up a house and fuck up a bunch of kids? The only thing I've ever wanted from you is sex and blood. Fucking and feeding go together for me, and since I can't feed from you anymore...."He gestured to the door. "Get out, and don't ever come near me again."~Con”
