“Can I ask you something?” I said.
“Yeah. Sure.”
“It’s a really personal question…”
He laughed. “How much more personal can we get?” He ran his hand down my back, his eyes darkening. “Ask away, because I’m gonna do something incredibly personal to you soon… and then your mouth will be too full to ask questions…”
I shivered at his words and his touch, and he smirked.
“I’m just wondering…” I said, “if you think you’ll ever need to be with a man again.”
I watched his eyes. The way they crinkled a bit at the corners, like he was trying not to laugh.
“Is that a dumb question?” I asked. “I just mean, if, let’s just say, you and I were to be together, as a couple… Would you want to be with men, too?”
“That is a dumb question.”
“How?”
He grinned. “You’re adorable.”
I rolled my eyes. “Don’t make fun of me. I seriously don’t know.”
“Don’t know what? If I could be loyal and monogamous?”
“No. Not when you put it like that. I just mean… Okay. Here’s the real question. Could you be satisfied with what my body has to offer, when I don’t have a dick?”
He stared at me for a moment. Then he did laugh.
Hard.
“Don’t laugh!” I poked him in the side.
“Okay. You realize the moment I met you, I knew you didn’t have a dick, right?”
“I’m not questioning whether you like me or not,” I said.
“Good.”
“I’m questioning…”
“If you could be enough for me?” he said, growing serious.
“Something like that.” I studied him. “It’s a fair question, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, I guess it is.”
I waited for more, and when he didn’t go on, I narrowed my eyes at him. “I kind of feel like you’re evading the question at this point…”
“Because I don’t really have an answer,” he said. “I don’t know.”
“How can you not know?”
“Because you’re asking me about something that hasn’t happened yet. In reality, it would depend on a lot of things.”
“Okay. That’s fair,” I agreed. “I mean, it’s fair if you can’t answer me right this second.”
“God, you’re nice.”
