Short (stephanie style) answer: Because she was his catnip and if he ate her, it would have messed up his life, so he decided to make it difficult. Then over time, he got over his instinct and got to know her and she was pretty cool. My answer: Ditto first answer. But young girls are stupid and like the bad boy, so she kept going after him. And he relented after time. Throughout the books, she has to keep forcing his hand to get what she wants. And because she is a typical scrag, she had two boys going at once, and then picked the one who gave her the better deal.
