Josephine shook her head sadly. "You need not lie... I know I'm tempting you, like I did last night. I can't help it, yet I know it is wrong; what I'm feeling cannot be acted upon." A few tears began to brim her eyes, and she turned her head away so Raoul wouldn't see. "The thoughts I have in my mind, the emotions and desire that is dormant within me... not matter how hard I try to keep myself in line... I truly have become a whore, and nothing better."
