I chuckled. “Giantmercies.”
“Yeah? How come?”
I shuddered. “I just couldn’t. What if he sang Row, Row, Row Your Boat while we fucked? Um, no.”
Jekyll dropped his head back and laughed. “I’m filing all that information away for future use.”
“That scares me a little.”
He grinned, leaning over, and gripping my chin gently. “Once I get you under me, baby, you’ll be ruined for anyone else.”
“You ruin me for anyone else, and you’re stuck with me. Forever.”
He grinned wide, his already beautiful face spectacular. “That’s the plan.”
I almost lost my breath. “Hyde,” I whispered.
“You freakin’?”
“Not even a little,” I admitted.
“You in this with me, then?”
“You installed butt washers on my toilets without me asking,” I whispered.
This fact was true. He’d had one of his biker friends (Scooby was his name, I think) install outlets in the areas just behind my toilets in order to accommodate bidets. Jekyll had installed them the same day and I honestly don’t know how I ever lived without them.
“Yeah, I did,” he confirmed.
“You took care of me. Again.”
“Yeah, I did. Always will, baby.”
I smiled. “I know. So, I’m in this with you,” I said, eating another fry.
“Love that, GoGo.”
I blushed. “Me too, honey.”
He set his tray aside, standing so he could lean over and kiss me. “Never had this, baby.”
“Never had what?”
“A relationship not built on sex first.”
“I haven’t had a relationship that’s gone this deep,” I said. “I’ve never known the real deal before. I may have thought I had at some point, but there’s been nothing like this.”
He kissed me again. “Love that too.”
“Me too, honey.” I cocked my head. “I would really like you to share a little about you next time, okay?”
He closed his eyes briefly, but nodded and I smiled.
One more kiss and he was back on the sofa with his food in front of him again. I fell asleep shortly after I’d finished eating a quarter of what was on my plate, awakening to the sound of Jekyll’s low voice.
“Yeah, Hugh, she’s good. She’s sleeping.”
“No, she’s not,” I countered, and Jekyll stepped out of the kitchen, walking toward me and handing me my phone.
