He wouldn't leave the room until she talked to him. She tried everything to get him to leave, even saying that she was going to sleep. Forget that the sun was still up. He said he would stay and watch her sleep. Then, in a desperate attempt, she said she was about to shower and she needed him to leave.

Author's Notes: Thanks, Darlin, for your review at the Realm. You're just too sweet. I'm glad that you enjoy my stories, and I appreciate all your feedback. As far as Devil's Kiss goes, I thought about posting it here, but there were a few reasons why I didn't. The first being, I thought it was too mature in nature for this site. The second being that, since it is very AU, I didn't know how people were going to take it without having more of a background story. I'm glad to know that you are enjoying it, though. I may just post it.
