Sheâ€™d explode if he didnâ€™t give her release soon. â€œDo you need me?â€ He kissed her nipple too gently. â€œPlease, please, please.â€ â€œDo you love me?â€ And somehow, despite her extremis, she saw the gaping hole of the trap. She peered up at him blindly in the dark. She couldnâ€™t see his face, his expression. â€œGriffin,â€ she sighed hopelessly. â€œYou canâ€™t say it, can you?â€ he whispered. â€œCanâ€™t admit it either.”
