“Tell me you hate me, Blair. Tell me to leave and never come back.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Why haven’t you turned me in?”

“What are you going on about?”

“You have no reason to keep me. Then why not call the police already?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“B-because…” Her gaze rounded with exasperation. “No. No, I can’t.”

“You can’t? Or you won’t?”

“Stop this.” Her plea was raggedy as she pressed her hand against my chest and pushed me away.

“You don’t get it. There is no stopping.”

“Why? Why must you make everything so complicated? Why can’t you and I coexist?”

“Because it’s not possible.”

“Please, just please don’t do this.”

“Don’t do that.”

“Well, I don’t want you to go.”

“You have no idea what you’re doing.”

“Either you kill me now or banish me. If you don’t, I won’t be responsible for what happens next.”

Her chest against mine rose in heavy breaths, lingering with the anticipation of the forbidden chemistry. A mischievous glint passed through her gaze.

The madness of hell.

The edge of heaven.

She dragged her nails up my shirt, my chest pounding, and commanded me to her will. “Then do your worst,” she taunted, giving the offer and permission to consume her.

Temptation was too hard to resist.

If there was a moment before participating in sin that could save me, then I'd walk again right about now.
