I clenched my fists. "If this were any other time, any other place, I would've already jumped at the chance."
Her breath hitched.
"You are enticing. If things were different, I'd love to tease you in bed all day and night."
She stared at me.
Then, before I could react—
She stood up.
She wiped her tears.
And then—
She tore her robes apart.
Her bare skin shone under the dim light.
My eyes widened. My mind blanked.
She was—
"Please take me! I am ready!" Before I could react at her beauty she said those words.
"YOU STUPID—!" I roared. "I WON'T!"
She flinched.
Her hands flew to her chest, covering herself in shame and hesitation.
"Why?" Her voice cracked. "You said you would do it with me."
I exhaled sharply. "I said in any other circumstances. But right now? You're not thinking clearly."
Her breathing was uneven.
