"My Eugenia. Magnificent," he drawled as he fell away from her. She trembled when a mouth found a breast once again.
"I didn't want it this way. Ever again," she sobbed, pulling away from him.
"You know that you loved it as much as I did," Drew said, placing a hand on her buttocks, squeezing playfully.
"Please get out, Drew," she whined.
"I want you to marry me, Eugenia."
"I can't. Not now," she argued softly.
"Why not?" he said softly. "Hon, it could only be good. Just you and I. Forever. Just think about it."
"I just can't. Not yet."
"Ha! At least you said 'yet,'" he laughed cheerfully.
She turned to him. "I guess I did, didn't I?" she said, wiping her nose.
"Yeah, hon. You did," he said thickly. "We could make a brother for Jessica Marie."
Eugenia laughed nervously. "But, Drew, please leave me alone tonight. Okay?"
"Sure, hon," he said, rising. "But maybe one more kiss?"
Eugenia could feel her heart melting as he kissed her gently. Then without another word, she listened for him to open the door. She watched his shadow in the doorway, then felt a tumultuous feeling inside herself as she went to the bathroom to clean herself, put on a light, and tried to clear her mind. She started to splash water on her face, when another knock on the door made her freeze on the spot. Had he returned? Anxious, but wary, she hurried to the door and found Theresa standing there with a confused look in her dark eyes.
"Can I come in, Eugenia?" she whispered.
"Yes. Maybe you'd better, Theresa."
Eugenia saw Theresa's gaze dart to the rumpled bed and Eugenia was keenly aware of her nudity. Then her gaze followed Theresa's as she stooped to pick up the ripped chemise.
"He was here, wasn't he, Eugenia?" Theresa said quietly.
"Yes. He was here."
"Do you love him?"
"Terribly."
"Are you going to marry him?"
"I imagine."
"What about me?"
Eugenia put the bathroom light out and felt through the darkness for Theresa's hand. When she found it, she clasped it and led her to the bed. Then she pulled her down beside her.
"I also love you, Theresa," she said. "Please sleep with me tonight," she added. Eugenia knew full well that she would say "yes" to Drew, and would be sleeping with him every night after this one.
"But how?" Theresa asked, cuddling up next to Eugenia.
Eugenia sighed. She would have it both ways. Drew had played his games, she would now play her own.
"We'll manage, my sweet," Eugenia said, kissing Theresa softly on the lips.
