Page 36 of Tempt Me

Oh God.

I don’t have an answer. I wish I could find some snappy comeback, but right now, my knees are weak and it’s taking everything I have not to throw myself on that king-sized bed and beg him to take me now.

Why does his dirty talk turn me on so much? What is this power he has over me?

Because you know he’ll deliver on every filthy promise.

“I can’t meet you again,” I manage to say, my voice strangled. “This, what you’re saying, it’s wrong.”

“What’s wrong is playing along like Max is your happily-ever-after.” Jase’s gaze doesn’t waver. “You know I’m right. Deep down, every instinct you have is screaming that he’s not the one for you.”

“And you are?” It’s meant to be a joke, but Jase gives me a curious smile.

“Maybe. But I’m definitely the one you want inside you right now. My cock, and your sweet cunt. That’s the only happy ending you need, so why are you fighting it so bad?”

I look at him, torn. “Because it’s not right. I made him a promise, and I don’t want to lie to you—or to Max. That’s why this can’t happen,” I say sadly. “I can’t ever see you again.”

Jase just smiles. “Don’t be so sure about that.”

But as I turn and walk away, I know I’m making the right choice—the safe choice. Max is my fresh start, the Prince Charming I need to begin my life all over again.

I picked crazy lust once, and it shattered my world into a thousand pieces. I know it’s dangerous to want someone this much, and a moment of pleasure could never be worth the pain.
