No. Fuck that. I shut off my work brain immediately, before it hijacks my entire morning. I’m still resting. And when I’m resting I’mresting, nothing else.
Beautiful girl. I feel so close to her now. Like I can tell her anything, show her all the sides of me, and she’ll accept me as-is. Just as I am. Is there any better feeling in this world than straight-up, honest acceptance of who we really are? Of course, you can’t get that until you open yourself up. Be vulnerable, powerless even, and show the real you.
I look over at her again, then back up to the ceiling. Crazy, this life is. I always thought of Romi as my best friend’s baby sis. Nothing more. But seeing that new side of her, thatnew to herside of her, and letting her see me and feeling what I felt when I watched her with those guys…
Damn, goddammit. I wanted more. I want her. I know I’ll never stop wanting her.
“I was reading about cuckolding.” Her eyes open up to me. Apparently my sleepy girl’s awake.
I roll toward her, resting my head against my arm. “Yeah?”
“Yeah. Um, why does it turn you on so much? I mean I get that it’s a jealousy thing. But…why?”
“I’m in charge of so many people, so many details, every fucking day.” I reach out to stroke her cheek as I tell her. “Something about letting all of that go, being the one who not only isn’t in charge, but actually haszerocontrol. Who can only watch someone else take what’s mine…”
“What’s yours?” She looks at me questioningly.
“You. You’re mine.”
“As in…” Romi blinks up at me. She has this wary expression that feels all wrong right now. “I just—don’t want to misunderstand.”
I dip my head into the space between us. “I want to be with you.” And I pop a kiss on her nose.
“I want to be with you,” Romi whispers.
I let out a groan. “I want to watch you be with other men.”
“Okay.” She grins.
“You don’t judge me?”
“Never.”
“Thank you, baby.”
“So should we like, tell Dylan?”
Confession time. “I already told him.”
“Youdid?” she piercingly shrieks. Hate me for saying it, but Romi is cute when she’s mildly panicked. The best part is I get to be the one to calm her nerves.Get to.
“Yeah. I didn’t tell him about the sex club stuff, he doesn’t want to know about any of that.”
“So then what did you tell him?”
“That I love you. That you’re not just some girl. That I’m serious about you.”
She looks completely shocked.
“You seem surprised.” I toss her a grin.
“I’m… I…yeah,” she exhales.
“You don’t have to say—”
“I love you too.”
“—it.” I pause. I look at her. She’s unmoving. I blink once, slow. “You do?”
“Yes. I love you,” she says the words with all the confidence in the world. My heart overflows with warmth and happiness, with peace like I’ve never experienced before.
“Aw, honey.” I draw her warm body into my arms. Breathe her in deep.
“Mmm,” Romi hums in sweet contentment.
“I got you, pretty baby girl.”
She smiles softly up at me and I hold her even closer as she says, “I know.”
