“Painfullyso.”
He mutters something under his breath that I can’t quite make out. “Tell me that you want me to eat your pussy when I get home. And make sure shehears.”
I look around to make sure Ray isn’t in sight. “I want you to eat my pussy when you gethome.”
“Mmm,” he groans. “Now tell me that you’re going to come all over myface.”
I would almost rather die than say these things in front of anyone. Even Claudia. “I’m going to come all over yourface.”
“Fuck you.” Claudia’s voice spews like venom through her clenchedteeth.
I suspect for a moment that’s she’s going to attack me, but instead she spins around and stalks toward the house. A part of me is amused by her response after the way she just spoke to me, but another part of me feels sorry for her. She loves a man who will never love her back. A man who may not even be capable of loving a woman. A man who would be cruel enough to have me say hurtful things about what we’re going to do in bedtogether.
“She’sgone.”
“What did she say toyou?”
“It began with her demanding to know how I was making youchange.”
“And?”
I’m a little embarrassed to say the rest. “She told me that I was going to fall in love with you, and you’d crush my heart and blah, blah, blah. Just ridiculous shit likethat.”
“No woman should ever fall in love withme.”
I laugh. “I don’t need to be convinced ofthat.”
“I’m glad you understand. I wish shehad.”
“What time are you cominghome?”
“I should be there aroundsix.”
“I’ll beready.”
“On yourknees.”
“Yes, Tristan. On myknees.”
