“I know how women like you are wired, Juliet.”
“Oh please.” I roll my eyes. “Do you now?” I sip my drink. “For the record, I have had a friends-with-benefits situation before, and it was perfect.”
“When?”
“In college.”
“With whom?”
“My roommate.”
He stares at me as if completely perplexed . . . or maybe it’s because he can sense that I’m lying through my teeth. Well, I’m not really lying. I did have a booty call with my roommate a few times in college, but then he got creepy and I panicked and moved out . . . so yeah, kind of friends-with-benefits-turns-into-serial-killer thingy.
“How long did you see him for?” he asks.
“A few months.”
“How did it end?”
“We mutually decided that we didn’t want to do it anymore.”
“I don’t believe that for a second—no man would give up sleeping with you.”
“Maybe I’m shitty in bed.”
Shut up. Aren’t you supposed to be selling the dream to him, you fool?
“Quite the opposite.” His eyes hold mine, and the air swirls between us.
He’s back.
“And what do you want from your man?” he murmurs.
Shit . . . think of a hot answer, and quick!
“I like to be challenged sexually.”
His eyes darken. “Do you . . .”
Just come out and say it.
“That’s why I was interested in doing this friends-with-benefits thing with you.”
He steeples his pointer finger up the side of his face as he leans on his hand. “Go on.”
“Well . . .” I pause as I try to get the wording right in my head. Don’t fuck this up. “You said that you are not looking for a relationship.”
“Correct.”
“You like to dominate in the bedroom.”
He stares at me for a beat before replying, “You’ll get attached.”
I sip my drink. “I think that if anyone is getting attached, it would be you.”
“I can assure you it won’t be me.”
Poor deluded fool.
