Argh! This is awful!
Never again shall I venture down the path of casual relationships. I’m not cut out for this.
Tiero doesn’t reply, but pulls me tight against his body again. I tuck my head under his chin and listen to the steady beat of his heart.
Thankfully, he drops the subject and carries on with our previous conversation. “So tell me then. How many guys have you been with before me?”
I’m glad Tiero can’t see my cheeks flushing pink. Compared to his experience, I might as well be a virgin.
“Before you, I’ve only ever been with two guys. Donald was the one who got my V-card. We were together for two years.”
“You lasted two years with a guy who couldn’t satisfy you?” Tiero sounds horrified.
“It wasn’t all that bad. First times are usually not that great… and it got better,” I justify.
“Besides, when you think you’re in love, you’re willing to make concessions.”
Above me, Tiero is shaking his head.
“And I didn’t know better. Sure, I had heard Rhia’s tales, but she’s very different from me, and I figured she was made for it, and I wasn’t.”
“Oh princess, you’re definitely made for it,” Tiero says, not hesitating a second. “I’m addicted to you.”
His comment makes me insanely happy.
I know now that the off-the-chart chemistry between us is what makes all the difference. Neither Don nor Marco ever brought out this side of me.
“I’m sorry you had such a lousy first experience,” Tiero says. “You deserve to be worshipped and made to come in every way possible.”
And hasn’t Tiero achieved that goal at every given opportunity? He’s made me come so many times I’ve lost count.
“Tell me, princess. Did this prick of a first boyfriend ever make you come?”
Gosh, he’s insistent. This little interrogation reminds me too much of Rhia’s efforts when she wants to get to the bottom of things. Why is discussing my previous sex life making me feel so uncomfortable?
“No,” I admit. “I’ve never orgasmed with him. All my orgasms came from my own hands.” After a moment, I add, “It’s a good thing I didn’t know back then what I was missing out on.”
“You wasted your life with that guy.”
“Two years isn’t that long. And we still had fun,” I protest. “Relationships aren’t all about sex. Donald was a good guy. He was loyal and dependable.”
Tiero rolls his eyes at me. I can see now why Rhia finds it so annoying when I do it to her.
“Boring… especially when you’re that young,” he counters.
My face goes sour. I don’t like being judged. He, who’s never been in a committed relationship in his life! And he’s fricking thirty-two! He knows nothing about what Donald and I had.
In hindsight, I realize it wasn’t really love, and more like filling a need to be with someone who made me feel secure and supported. It’s what I needed at the time, and I won’t let some Italian playboy walk all over my life choices.
Tiero notices the change in my body language. “I’m sorry, princess. I didn’t mean to upset you. It just saddens me that such a beautiful, intelligent, and warm-hearted woman like you settled for someone who wasn’t good enough for you… even if this was years ago.”
And with that, the tension drains from my body, and I melt again.
“How old were you when this Donald guy took your most precious gift?” Tiero asks, embers of jealousy burning in his voice.
He’s jealous? Of a man who no longer features in my life?
“A lot older than you… I had just turned nineteen.”
