“I like when you kiss me.I really liked where things were headed the other night.”
“Me too.”He kisses me once more.This time harder and deeper, giving me his tongue before breaking away.“Are you on birth control?”
“No.”
“There’s something you should know.”
“What?”
“About my tastes when it comes to sex.”
“You don’t have to treat me like glass.You can’t scare me off so easily.Are you into BDSM or something?”
“Or something.”
“Okay…what is it?”
“I have a ravishing and breeding kink.Do you know what that means?”
“I don’t think so.”
“It means I want you to resist me some.I want to take you against your will and fuck you unprotected and come inside you hoping to impregnate you.It’s what gets me off.”
“Like role playing?”
“In some ways.”
“Is this something you do with other women, or will I be the only one?”
“I don’t have other women.I wouldn’t share this with just anyone.”
I want to ask if he tried to ravish and breed Catherine, but I also don’t want to know.If I do, I’ll be comparing myself to a dead woman.To a ghost.I don’t want to wonder if he’s thinking about her when he’s with me.
“Is that what you think?That I’m fucking other women because I haven’t fucked you yet?Did Marco say something to you?”
“No.”
“Don’t lie to me, Odette.”
“Can we start this conversation over or forget it altogether?I want to be with you, Nico.I want you to want me.You’re my husband now.The only man I’ve ever kissed.”
He cuts me off with a kiss that moves from zero to sixty.His hand is up my shirt, and his tongue is down my throat.“I’m the only man you’ve ever kissed?”
“You’ll be my first and only everything,” I tell him.“I want to give you what you need.I’m worried I won’t know what to do.I want to be perfect for you.”
“You already are.So fucking perfect.”
“I want our marriage to be a real one.”
“Our marriage is real.”
“On paper, sure.”
He grabs my hand and places it over the crotch of his pants.“Do you feel that?That’s how real this is.Whenever I’m with you, it’s all I can do not to just rip your clothes off and take what I want.”
“Tell me what you want me to do.”
“I want you to run, Fiore Mio.And when I catch you, don’t submit so easily.Make me work for it.”
