A Stupid Lamb and Masochistic Lion?

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...," he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word.
"What a stupid lamb," I sighed.
"What a sick masochistic lion." He stared into the shadowy forest for a long moment, and I wondered where his thoughts had taken him.

That's nice. The tough sparkling lion, falls in love for the retarded and 'innocent' lamb. 
Stephenie Meyer, omitted the word pedophile, while she was saying sick masochistic lion. And these lines don't make this vampire-human romance any more romantic. It makes it more creepy.
