"Let me prove I'm sorry," she whispered. "With my body."
His hand slid up her back. Slowly. Deliberately. Fingers pressing against the nape of her neck.
"I don't need your body," he said quietly. "I have better."

"So use me anyway," she breathed. "As a lesson. As revenge. As whatever you want."
She grabbed his waistband. Bold. Reckless.
"Just don't walk away again," she added. "Not when I'm like this."
