Page 69 of The Villain We Tempt

Well, aside from her immediate declaration of “no sex”.

I cough behind my mask. “I think we may have had radically different ideas about what this meetup entailed.”

Galina blushes. “No…I mean…” Her brows knit. “Nosex-sex.”

“Definesex-sex.”

Her face burns even redder.

“I mean no vaginal penetrative sex.”

Vaginal penetrative sex.

Talk dirty to me, baby…

This is the kind of bizarre conundrum with this girl that I find so oddly intriguing. On the one hand, she’s this sultry, sexy, vampy BookTok vixen who makes content involving giant horse dildos or rolling and bouncing her hips as if she’s getting fucked by her latest book boyfriend of the month. A girl who wears extremely kinky lingerie and gives the camera sultry looks that make me want to explode in my fucking pants.

On the other, she’s a preppy, somewhat prudish gotta-be-a-virgin who says shit like “vaginal penetrative sex”.

I take a slow breath.

“I’m confused.”

Galina looks down at her feet. “I just… That’s my line.”

“Because you’re a virgin?”

She swallows as her eyes dart to my face. “I didn’t say that.”

“But are you?”

Her top lip retreats between her teeth.

Well, that’s an obvious yes.

“You don’t want your first time to be with some masked man you?—”

“I didn’tsayit would be my first time,” she snaps. “Like I said, it’s my line, and I don’t want to?—”

“This’ll gomuch easierif we’re completely honest with each other,” I growl.

She eyes me, still blushing. “Says the man with the hidden identity.”

“Says the girl who gets wet for masked men.”

She bristles, but I also see the way her teeth clamp down on her lip again, not to mention the way her thighs squeeze together.

“So… That’s a yes to honesty?” I say.

Galina looks away, like she’s weighing this whole thing out again.

“Fine,” she finally mumbles, turning back to me. “Total honesty.”

When she doesn’t continue, I loudly clear my throat. “So….”

“Yes,” she sighs. “I’m a virgin. Okay?”

“Andvaginal penetrative sex…” I space the words out to make them sound even more clinical, which makes her grin, “is off the table.”
