Here is an excerpt:

Does he want her? Or does he want the goddess inside?

“You’re not doing anything I don’t want,” he assured her. He raised his hand and gently let beaded strands of hair slip gently through his fingers. “I know how serious this is. Believe it or not, I am a big boy and I can handle it—”

“—Can you really?” she asked, as tears spilled down her face. “What makes you so sure you’re not acting upon emotions evoked by Bastet’s influence?”

“I know how I feel about you and how you feel about me,” he answered.

“But how do you know any of it is real?”

“I trust my instincts, and I hope you’ll do the same.”

She wanted to believe him. She wished she could. But she had to ultimately face the truth that Jean-Marcel was only acting upon emotions conjured by the effects of Bastet inside her. So she shook her head with a miserable look. “I wish I could, Jean-Marcel,” she whispered sadly. “But I’m convinced that it’s not me you’re attracted to. Let’s not kid ourselves. What we had was wonderful, a dream come true for me,” she shook her head, “but it’s still just a dream and it’s time to wake up—”

“—What are you talking about?”

“Come on,” she said, trying to pull out of his embrace, but he resisted. “We both know I’m not exactly the type of woman you’d normally be seen with, am I?”

“You really need to stop selling yourself short, Jaydee,” he said as he looked deep into her teary eyes. “Aside from the fact that you’re smart, witty, unapologetically confident and strong, you’re very attractive. Beautiful even. And it’s high time you accept those facts.”

“Really? Just like that?”

“Yes, really. Just like that,” he answered without hesitation.

“Then tell me, Jean-Marcel,” she began with pain flashing in her watery eyes, “had you seen me on the streets, or in a bar, or at a restaurant three weeks ago, would you have given me the time of day?” She slowly shook her head. “We both know the answer to that. We both know how you thought about me the first time we met at my home and again at Harvard.”

“People change, Jaydee,” he said. “Even fools get wise every now and then.”

She shook her head. “Not under these unnatural circumstances, they don’t.”
