Given my legal powerhouse, I could screw her and Niels ten ways to Sunday. Her father is in the hole. Other than his house, he doesn’t have a dime to his name. If I wanted to take advantage of them, it would be easy. That’s not how I operate.
“Okay,” she says in a small voice.
I can’t read her mind, but I’m willing to bet she’s still struggling with her new reality.
“Once you’re okay with everything, we’ll set the ruse in motion. You’re the kind of smart and sophisticated woman everybody will believe I’ve settled down with long-term. The PRteam will start working its magic. The media gets a story we control. The board is thoroughly duped. I’m one step closer to my goal. Everyone wins.”
“That’s a lot of pressure,” she says. “Wouldn’t a quick Vegas wedding be easier to handle?”
“No one will believe a man in my position would settle for a Vegas wedding, unless you were knocked up. The board will see right through me. In order for this to fly, we have to put on a good show and play the part like we’re campaigning for an Oscar.”
A gap of silence stretches between us.
We should wrap this up.“Is there anything we haven’t covered?”
She clears her throat. “There’s one thing we haven’t discussed.”
“What’s that?”
“After the wedding…”
“Yes?”
“I wanted to know—” She lets out a sigh.
“I’m listening.”
Her teeth dig into her bottom lip before releasing it. She then clamps her lips together and looks up to the ceiling as if calling for strength.
It’s like she’s having a conversation with herself. “If you have a question, ask.”
Twin blotches of color appear high on her cheeks.
What’s up with the sudden shyness?
It hits me.
I pull her hand into mine and fix her with my gaze. “You want to know about our wedding night?”
She nods.
“You want to know if I’m going to bury my big cock deep inside your sweet pussy and fuck you like no man has ever fucked you before?”
Her jaw drops, her eyes widening so much, I fear they’ll take over her face.
“Only if you ask nicely, Michaela.”
I promised myself I’d behave, but I couldn’t resist.
I didn’t think it was possible to render this woman mute.
Good to know.
A second ticks by.
Then another.
And another.
