Paradise Found L B Dunbar

"I hate that I love you," she said. "You left me." "I lost you, there's a difference. Now that I found you, I intend to keep you." Lost. I'd tasted the sweetest fruit of temptation, and I wanted another bite. I had promised myself before, but once wasn't enough. The savory flavor of her lingered long after I'd lost her. Contending with the pressure to return to the fight, in order to prove myself to my father and the world, I had to let her go. Found. It has been a year. Sofie Vincentia and I had played a dangerous game. For one night, we pretended, only to discover our farce was real. I'd lost her, but I hadn't stopped searching, hoping for her return. I was used to getting what I wanted, so when she didn't come to me, I had to go after her. This would be the greatest fight of my life.
