Because my adolescent mind always wandered to ribald places when I should have been attending my studies?” She shrugged. “Did I need a better reason?” “I should think so. Yes.” His brow met hers, and his voice dropped to a raw whisper. “That’s why I’m here, Min. You must know that’s why. You need a much better reason to love me, and I’m trying like hell to give you one.”
