I don't know how I'll survive another eighteen courses, but one thing is sure.
The monster isn't winning.
I swallow hard and smirk. "Ya may have married me just because ya could, but that's where ya went wrong."
"Oh?" he questions.
"Yea. I can last longer than ya can in any scenario."
He softly chuckles. "Is that a challenge?"
I curse myself but nod. "Damn right, it is, babes."

Tense silence fills the remainder of our dinner. Maeve won't stop glaring at me, and I can't get her question out of my head.
Why did I choose her?
It wasn't just because I could. Even I know that. But I can't put the words together about why I did what I did.
She's right. I could have taken her, convinced her to have sex with me, and used her at my discretion. I didn't have to marry her.
Why is it so hard for me to put words together, even if only for myself?
Her question continues to nag me, but I keep trying to get her to stop glaring at me. I tease her throughout our multiple courses, but nothing works.
Carter appears with a tray full of plates. He sets the last five dishes down declaring, "We have the Kuruma ebi, Hokkaido uni, truffle, negitoro, scallion, nori, and ume shiso." He puts his hands together, chirping, "Is there anything else I can get you?"
"Princess?" I ask.
She sweetly looks up at him. "No, thanks, Carter. I'm good."
"Same," I reply.
"Very well, then." He disappears.
I pick up a piece of the fatty tuna and hold it to Maeve's lips, offering, "Try this."
She doesn't argue, and it's the same expression I see every time she tries something new. She closes her eyes, and a barely audible, "Mmm," emerges from her.
Everything about it makes me happy. I really want her to enjoy Masa. The only thing I hate is how she immediately directs her scornful glare back at me.
"Truth time," I announce.
She swallows her food, takes a sip of water, and asks, "Well, go on, then."
I put my hand on her leg, inquiring, "What's the craziest thing you've ever done?"
She pauses, then answers, "I've never done anything crazy."
"Sure ya have," I insist.
She shakes her head. "No, I haven't."
I wiggle my eyebrows, adding, "What's the craziest thing you've ever done sexually?"
