Lynsay Sands Quote

We’re going to your place tonight? she asked with surprise. Anders lowered his hand to his side, the stake dangling from his fingers. Expression solemn, he said, I am. But I think you should stay here. I think that’s probably best until you make your decision. Valerie frowned. What do you mean? Anders grimaced and glanced away, Well, I’ve been thinking that life mate sex is pretty mind-blowing and addictive. I’ve noticed, she admitted wryly, bending slightly to pat Roxy, who had been lying down beside her, but now stood and pressed against her leg. That being the case, he continued gently, I thought perhaps it might be best if we abstain until you’ve made your decision. Valerie straightened slowly to stare at him. Abstain? Yes, he said solemnly, and then added, You need to have a clear head to make a decision as big as this and constantly being bombarded with pleasure, your body and mind crying out with it . . . well, it will just muddy your thinking and delay your decision. Valerie frowned. But— It’s for the best, he added solemnly. Valerie narrowed her eyes. How long are we supposed to abstain? Like I said, until you’ve made your decision, Anders answered. But what if it takes a while? she asked. Then we’ll wait a while. Years if we have to, he assured her. Honey, I want you happy and you’re worth waiting for. But I’m happy when we— Flushing, she cut herself off and said instead, And if I decide I’m willing to be your life mate? Then I’ll rip your clothes off and make love to you until you can’t stand, he said as if they were discussing the weather. And if I decide I’m not willing to risk being your life mate? she asked. Frustration filled his expression. Valerie, there is no risk here. The nanos don’t make mistakes. This is a sure bet. The only game where you can’t lose. All you have to do is be willing to accept the gift they’re offering us.
