“You like looking at your husband?”
“Ilovelooking at my husband.”
He kissed her and fell backward, toppling them into the water.
Their next stop was a visit to Malmöhus Castle. Ten minutes in, they found it creepy as shit, checked out early, and went for lunch and ice cream nearby.
Joel watched, without blinking, as Ayesha’s tongue carved paths in the spiraled vanilla tip above her waffle cone. Cream dripped down the sides, over her fingers, and she lapped it up with her eyes on him. Clearly, they wouldn’t be able to leave the table until she was done eating, or he would be arrested the minute he stood.
“So, apparently, we’re not castle people,” he said. “I mean, what the fuck?”
Her eyes widened. “Yo, that one lady statue?”
“You almost knocked her the hell out when you came around the corner and saw her standing there.”
“Mrs. Malmöhus was about to catch these hands.” She held her stomach and giggled. “What about those black and white pictures everywhere?”
“You know those people’s ghosts were watching us go through their shit, pissed as hell they couldn’t throat-punch us.” He held out his cone. “Want to try mine?”
While she’d stuck with a traditional vanilla ice cream cone, he’d branched out and ordered Black Licorice.
Eyes once again locked with his, she took the entire top of the cone into her mouth and lightly sucked into a point as she drew her head back. If she said anything after, he didn’t hear it.
“Question,” he said. “Do you have any objections to me putting things inside you?”
“No.”
“You didn’t ask where.”
“Still no.”
“You didn’t ask what.”
“My answer is the same.”
They spent the rest of their afternoon biking through and around the city. The people were friendly, the landscape was beautiful, and they found two more private beaches where they made out like teenagers.
Ayesha picked up a few local pieces to take back for Xara. Xara was looking to expand her brand, and one of her favorite things to do was showcase local artists from around the world.
Afterward, they ditched the bikes and walked around the city center, hand in hand, taking in the Art déco palette as people whizzed by on bikes and skateboards.
They agreed to return with the boys and spend an entire week, especially since they’d stumbled upon the Malmö Reptile Center.
“By the way, Theo wants to know if we can get a pet iguana.”
Ayesha’s head snapped around. “No. Hell no.”
“Aww man, are you sure?”
“Joel.” She clutched at her chest and shuddered. “Think about it. It breaks free from its cage. The boys are at school. We can’t get Gage on the phone. Who’s trapping this monster? Not I.”
“I’ve got you.”
“You were afraid of Carlton.”
He shrugged. “Or maybe you jumped into my arms, and I enjoyed it so much, I didn’t want it to end.”
“You let me be terrorized to satisfy your own affections?” She released his hand and put a few feet of space between them. Each time he tried to close the gap, she moved further away until she was running.
