“Good luck. Remember, we own them.” I winked at her.
We parted ways, and as soon as I reached the teeny tiny office which was all mine for the duration of my training, I pushed the door closed and phoned Ruben.
As soon as he answered, I began speaking, “I know it’s probably some ridiculous hour there right now, and I’m so sorry. But I wanted to check in with you.”
“Hello, beautiful. It’s close to two in the morning, but I’m all ears. What’s going on?”
Ruben’s voice made my body flutter. “I thought I should let you know that I’m going to be Augustus’ assistant during the press tour for the autumn catalog. I wanted to make sure you’re okay with it, given what I told you on the weekend.”
“Are you alone?”
I leaned back against the door. “Yes.”
“All right. I know I’ve been avoiding you all weekend since our discussion the other day, which seems unfair, but I had to work up the courage to talk to you about this… about me… since we began dating a few months ago. There’s something you don’t know about me, Sienna. That not many people know. Well, it’s a few things, to be honest.”
I swear I envisioned Ruben picking at a non-existent thread somewhere on his clothing. Not that he’d be wearing anything right now since it was the middle of the night in Wayborough Shores, and he had a habit of sleeping naked.
“What are you talking about, Ruben? Is something wrong?”
“That depends on your perspective.” He fell silent again.
“Are you still there?” I whispered.
Ruben drew in a breath. “Yep. I like women and adore you, Sienna, to no end.”
I felt a huge ‘but’ coming and wasn’t sure if I would like what would follow.
“But I also like men.”
Color.
Me.
Stunned.
“Oh. Okay.”
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine.”
“Are you sure? Because it can be a shock to most people. Bisexual guys aren’t always desired. People often prefer you to be outrightly gay or straight as a pencil.”
His moment of insecurity was heartwarming, and it only made me adore him more. “I used to have this pencil in middle school that was bent in the center.”
“What?” Ruben spluttered with a small, insecure laugh.
“You’re desired by me, wholly and fully, Ruben. You’re my guy, and I love you no matter what.”
I swore I heard him gulp. “I’m glad to hear you say so because… I’m also a kinkster and voyeur. I think this viscount model of yours is extremely attractive, and I’d love nothing more than to watch you get down and dirty with him via video chat.”
I gasped and threw my hand over my mouth. The sound of Ruben’s sexy voice was doing nasty things to my body, which couldn’t happen while I was at work. “Ruben Jason Ainsley, you’ve been holding out on me.”
“I wasn’t sure if… I mean, it’s largely inappropriate, don’t you think?”
“No. I would never judge you for what you like. I might like some of your kinks too. We could experiment together.” I rested my head back against the door and stared at the ceiling. “I wish you could be here.”
“Not long now, Sienna-Belle,” he murmured.
