When she doesn’t reply, I type out:
Me: I have news. Tell you in the AM?
Wynter: Definitely
With another yawn, I stare at the ceiling, contemplating my next move and the fact I’m still a goddamn virgin.
“There’s nothing for it,” I say to myself, voice like gravel. “Payback is definitely required.”
THIRTY-THREE
SHOWER 2 - MAXIM 1
A gustof cold air washes over my spine as the door opens.
Turning around, I see my naked wife leaning against the glass door.
“We have to stop meeting like this, wife.”
“Ahh, so you didn’t forget what I was to you?”
Her imperious tone has me ducking my face under the spray—if I drown, maybe my erection will go away?
No dice.
“What do you mean, anyway?”
“The shower has become our home away from home.” She laughs but when she folds her arms across her chest and doesn’t move away from the door, I correct, “Or maybe you’re imprisoning me,katyonok?”
That smile of hers I love, the wicked one, gleams in her eyes. “Da, you’re my prisoner because I don’t think my husband wants me,” she says sweetly. “He let me sleep on my wedding night. Maybe you know someone who could help instead.”
“My ego couldn’t have stood you falling asleep while I fucked you.”
Her lips part. “So, it’s a ‘you’ problem?”
“Isn’t it always,zaya?”
“You’re smarter than people think, aren’t you, husband?”
“You included?”
“No. I didn’t underestimate you. I think you underestimate me though.”
“Lies. But anyone would need to sleep after the kind of interrogation you endured.” Turning off the shower, I grab her hand and lift it to my mouth so I can kiss her knuckles. “You needed rest. You’re injured.”
“I’m not injured. It’s tender, that’s all. And, what I need, isyou.”
She wets her lips when I snag one of her fingers with my teeth and slip it into my mouth. “More lies. You needed sleep.”
“I needmy husband.”
I let my tongue trickle around the digit, swirling and sucking on it until her pelvis dips backward into the glass screen. “Are you lying to me,kotik? Don’t you think you should go back to bed?”
“No! Not unless you’re in it.”
“Maybe you’re just bad at lying to me.”
“I’ll get better with time.”
