Make Me Sin (Bad Habit, #2)

by J.T. Geissinger

“Because I’m fucking weak! I can’t stay away from you! No matter what I do, you’re there, in my head, smiling that heartbreaker smile! I can’t stay away.” His voice cracks, and it sounds as if he might cry. “And I’m so tired of trying.”

“Because you can’t be mine. You can never be mine. And if I fuck you, baby, you’ll be mine forever.”

“Your voice, Chloe. The colors of your voice are like . . . fucking . . . heaven.” He starts to sing the lyrics of a Journey song, one I instantly recognize. “‘Don’t Stop Believin’,’” I say, stunned. “It’s one of my favorite songs.”

“That’s why. Because for a man like me, the most beautiful, dangerous creature of all is love. I fell in love with you sight unseen, just from the sound of your voice, and I knew if I didn’t make you hate me, I’d do the most selfish thing in the world and try to make you mine.”
