She chews on a piece of bacon before setting her fork back down.
“I hope you understand last night didn’t change things.”
“Last night? What do you mean?”
She glares at me. “Don’t tease.”
I clasp my chest. “Me? Tease?”
“I’m trying to be serious here.”
I grin. “I once stayed up all night trying to figure out where the sun went. Then, it dawned on me.”
She rolls her eyes. “Can you be serious for one minute?”
I dig my phone out of my pocket and place it on the table. “Starting the timer now.”
“Stop being cute.”
I bat my eyelashes at her. “I can’t help it. Cute is my default.”
“Goofball is your default.”
“Cute and goofball are not mutually exclusive.”
“Yes, the—” She cuts herself off with a shake of her head. “You’re really good at distracting a person.”
I puff out my chest. “Thank you.”
“It’s not a compliment.”
I shrug as I shove a piece of bacon in my mouth. “You praised me. It’s a compliment.”
“Enough with the distractions. I’ll say this once and for all. Last night did not change things between us.”
“We’re still husband and wife.”
She growls. “This is a fake marriage, remember?”
“I remember how you moaned for me when you came all over my cock.”
Her cheeks darken but she’s undeterred. “I’m serious, Elder.”
“Why doesn’t last night change anything? We’ve confirmed what I knew all along. You and me in bed are dynamite.”
“I wouldn’t say dynamite.”
“You wouldn’t? I guess I need to try harder next time.” I waggle my eyebrows. “Get it? Harder?”
“There will be no next time.”
“Why not?” I ask since distraction isn’t working despite the use of some of my best distraction methods.
“Are you deaf or is this some kind of selective deafness? Are you refusing to hear what I’m saying? We are not really husband and wife.”
“I was at the wedding. You wore a white dress. I wore a suit. I’m pretty sure the whole thing was real.”
“It’s an arranged marriage, then. We agreed to no sex and no sleeping in the same bed.”
