"You don't get to decide whether or not I hurt you. It's not happening. There's nothing to talk about."
"You can't just refuse to discuss something."
"You're not comfortable with trying bondage stuff. I'm not comfortable with trying to knot you. We all have our things."
"Those arenotthe same. I don't find bondage sexy after being held prisoner for years, and you said you can take it or leave it. This is different. You literally can't experience the height of your pleasure without knotting."
"I'm not willing to try it or discuss it.”
"Fine." I looked out the window, clenching my jaw. It took a lot of effort to ignore the tangled emotions leaking from his mind into mine through the permanent mate bond we now shared.
Maybe sealing it was a mistake after all.
We drovethe rest of the way in silence.
We ate in silence, too, when we got back.
It was getting late by the time we were done. Grayson headed out to deal with some work stuff, and he looked exhausted enough that I didn't think he was just trying to run away from me.
I attempted to focus on my own work for a few minutes, sitting in the seat I'd claimed on the couch, but pretty much failed.
So, I sent Darius another text. I knew there was a chance he was with someone, but he'd get back to me fast if he wasn't.

As my most risqué friend, what are your thoughts about an immortal who isn't a demon being knotted by one?
Theoretically, of course
This has nothing to do with any part of my life, obviously
Darius
Obviously
It's a tough question, tbh
Me
That's not helpful

Haha
In most circles, it's a no go, full-stop situation
You've probably killed a couple men who tried it without a woman's permission, on purpose or accidentally
I considered it.
Actually... I had.
Definitely had.
Dare
In a certain circle, it's a kinky experience that most people have tried and enjoyed
