I’m impressed. Seriously. “Good stuff.”
“I would say thanks, but it feels weird.”
“That’s fine. Anyway, Chapter 18 ended when Javier couldn’t find a condom. What happens next? Do they still do it?”
Her jaw sets, and she searches my eyes, trying to see what I’m up to. “Why?”
“I want to know if your fantasies include bareback fucking.” Yes, Iamtrying to shock her.
“Yes, Mr. Grayson, my fantasies just so happen to include bareback fucking.” She borrows my words, but such filthiness coming from a sweet girl like her should be illegal.
“Does that mean you’re on the pill, mon cherie?” I never thought about that before because I promised myself I wouldn’t go there with her, but the question comes now that my body has overridden common sense.
“Yes. If you must know.”
Now that I know, of course, all I can think of is bareback fuckingher. My skin on hers. Me inside her. Me taking all the parts she hasn’t given me yet.
Maybe all the parts she’s given that simpering idiot, Nathan.
“And is Javier inspired by your former beloved?” It’s a question I shouldn’t ask because it doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t.
“No, all my characters are fictional. In any event, please stop calling him my beloved. You’ve dug around enough, I’m sure you must know Nathan and I weren’t even dating.”
“Just double checking, Goddess.” I was right, their marriage was going to be as arranged as ours. But maybe I shouldn’t have pressed for that information. It was something to keep me in line.
“There’s nothing to double check.”
Nothing.The put out look in her eyes tells me she might never have slept with the asshole, so those parts of her I want to taste, could still be all mine.
I’m so sucked in with the seductress she’s playing, that I almost miss the warning in my gut that’s telling me there’s something different about her tonight.
Something softer that shouldn’t be there so soon after yesterday’s angst.
She should still want to rip my skin off. Still hate me. Still want to run a million miles from me.
There’s no way she’s gotten over the bomb I dropped on her so quickly. I expected her to come back with more pleas for a negotiation, or something. Not this.
Although, I do like her like this—soft and sexy and absolutely fuckable.
I look a little deeper into those eyes of hers and find what I’m looking for— desperation masked by arousal. The sight reveals what’s truly happening here.
Thisisit. The first steps of her attempted negotiation.
Aurora Wright hasn’t given up on anything.
Her tactics have just changed. She’s trying to reach me from a different angle to get what she wants.
Sorry, mon cherie, you can’t try to fool the devil in his own game.
Not even Hades truly gave Persephone what she wanted. That’s why we have spring and winter.
“Good to know.” My delayed answer after my prolonged silence snaps the connection.
“Do I want to know how you found out about my secret pen name when I’ve only told one person in this world?”
That one person is Madison, the best friend.
“No. Best you don’t know, Goddess. In any event, much as I’m enjoying this little conversation of ours, it’s showtime.” I’m aware that people have started looking at us, whispering and wondering who the beautiful mystery woman is standing with me. “Time to be mine.”
