read and reap

Haven't done this lately. Sorry.

Anyway, today's passage is from "Into the Dark," a romance novel by Cindy Gerard. The teaser on the front cover? "He's bound by duty...and unleashed by desire." Score.

Here goes:

How did he do this? How did he tell her he didn't want her this way? That he'd already taken her when she'd been on the downside of disaster and that placed him off the charts on his own personal creep-o-meter? How did he do that when he wanted her more than he wanted his left nut?

I don't know. You tell me.
