I chose not to answer that question because, of course, I didn’t. Sex with Luce was better than anything. Why would I want someone else? Why did she want someone else?
Luce didn’t even fucking care about my silence. She just kept eating her food like she was not ripping things inside of me. “I am going to go to a club tonight. I will have a one-night stand. It won’t cause a problem in the long run, don’t worry.”
“I am coming with you.” I was not excited to see her with another man, but I was sure as fuck not to let her go alone. Honestly, I wanted to be there so I could stop it from happening, but if she was really serious about her choice and really fucked another man, I still wanted to be there. I had to make sure she was okay even if it ruined me beyond fixing.
I was a damn fool for agreeing to make this an open marriage.
To my last words, Luce actually showed a reaction. She tried to hide it, but at this point, I was good at reading her physical cues. Her shoulders tensed, and she waited a bit too log after her lips parted. Finally, she said, “You don’t have to.”
“I do,” I said without a beat. “I am coming with you, Luce.”
“Is that a kink of yours? Do you want to watch another guy fuck me?”
I answered a little too fast and without much thinking. “My kink would be killing a guy who even touches you.”
Luce jerked a little, but her facial muscles didn’t even move. “If you are gonna be jealous, you really shouldn’t come.”
Instantly I remembered how jealous she was of Bianca once upon a time. I remembered how she made me tremble. I was definitely not going to let her do that to another guy. “Now I am the jealous one?”
She only rolled her eyes.
I didn’t care. I was not backing off. “When we decided this was an open marriage, we also decided on the rules for our affairs. Security and secrecy are key. You will need protection in the club, especially because you will be looking to hook-up with someone. You cannot go to one of our clubs or take a bodyguard with you because I believe we both don’t want gossip like that. So, I have to be the one to keep you safe.”
“I can keep myself safe.”
“Luce,” I said a little harsher than necessary, but all the things I was feeling were making it hard to hold onto my control. “I am coming. There is no debate about that.”
She rolled her eyes again. I wanted to push her down and fuck that attitude out of her. “If you come, I won’t be able to sleep with anyone. Look at you. You are fuming. You won’t let me do it.”
I squeezed my hands in fists under the table. “Have I ever stopped you from doing something you wanted, Luce?”
Her throat moved in a swallow. “No.”
“And I won’t start it now. You are free to do whatever you want despite my wishes. The only thing I won’t grant you is your wish to be in danger. I will be there for your protection.”
“Okay,” she said. “But you cannot beat up the man I flirt with.”
Oh, beating the shit out of them sounded so sweet, but I was not a caveman. I had to accept the fact that Luce was not really mine despite my efforts. “Okay.”
“You also cannot make someone else beat them up.”
That made me smile a little. “You are a smart little one, aren’t you?”
“I am serious, Valerio.”
“Okay, I promise I won’t.”
“You also cannot threaten them in any way.”
“Okay.”
“Or make someone else threaten them.”
“Luce, I fucking promise I won’t make anything they can theoretically sue me for. I won’t harm them.” A better idea was already forming in my head anyway. I was not going to use violence, but that didn’t mean I was just going to stay in the background and watch some asshole fuck my wife.
I had to show Luce that I was the only one she needed.
“It is going to be a boring night for you,” she said like that could make me not want to come.
