When She Tempts (The Fallen, #2)

by Gabrielle Sands

Ah. So she’s got some spunk when she’s not so absorbed with being miserable.

“Every object under my protection is of immense value, Martina. And you might just be the most valuable of them all.”

That small body of hers pressed against mine felt like coming home. How fucked up is that?

It’s like he’s addicted to gaslighting me.

“I’ve lived for a long time, piccolina,” he rasps. “Nearly twice as long as you. Never in my life have I met anyone who hides so much wickedness behind an innocent face like yours. Your mind seduces me. Your body tempts me. A single glimpse of you, and I lose my train of thought. I become completely absorbed in your presence. You shouldn’t have let me touch you like I just did, because now that I know how wet and warm you’d feel around me, I won’t think about anything else for hours. Days. Weeks.”

“Beautiful,” he murmurs. “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, piccolina.”

One day, we’ll look at each other and feel absolutely nothing. We will.
