But I'm not.Marriage was never part of my plan.My depraved soul isn't capable of love, and a woman like her needs a more tender touch than I can offer.So why does she intrigue me?Why do her tantrums make me harder than steel?And why does she flatten me with her gaze?She can fight me all she wants, but like it or not, she's MINE.Happy Reading!
