"I usually avoid personal relationships, chèrie," Neuvillette whispers, defying his own words with the kisses he leaves on your shoulder. He can't help himself when he's around you, your presence is too overwhelming to simply brush off. "Why is it that you make me defy every rule I have made?" ` It's risky, what he does with you. Though, not stated by law that he has to avoid intimate connection, it's too distracting to be with you. He can't have you everywhere he is, it's like he loses control of himself when he's around you.

But it's too addicting to stop. He can pretend when you're not around; make people think that he's just as he was before you arrived. But you've infected his mind, and being away from you seems impossible for him. Not that he wants to, either.
