“Do you enjoy it?” I ask. “The violence and paybacks I mean.”
“Fuck yeah.” His eyes shine until it’s almost blinding. “I feel most like myself when I’m teaching some assholes a lesson or two.”
“Right.”
“Don’t worry, lotus flower, I won’t be violent with you. Except sexually, of course, since you love it.”
“Shut up.”
He chuckles and jerks his head in the telly’s direction. “So what are we watching? Seems dumb.”
“Agatha Christie isnotdumb.”
“Who’s that? An ancient actress?”
“Nikolai, please tell me you know who Agatha Christie is.”
“Your godmother?”
“Crikey. Seriously? She’s a famous novelist.”
“Did she write any of the Marvel movies?”
“No.”
“DC?”
“Of course not.”
“Tarantino, then?”
“No.”
“Never heard of her.”
“You’re seriously an anomaly.”
“Maybe you are. This shit seems boring. Why are they talking all the time? Where’s the action? The cars flying and people jumping in the air?”
“It’s a murder mystery. They talk to give clues about the murderer.”
“Neat. I’ll use this to lull myself to sleep.”
I hit his chest even as I suppress a smile. “Let me guess. You like action films?”
“Hell yeah.”
“But they’re mindless.”
“The more mindless, the better. I’m a simple man. I see good violence, I rate it five out of five.”
“You need help.”
He licks his lips, eyes twinkling. “Then help me, baby.”
A fire erupts at the base of my stomach and spreads all over my body. I stare at his moist mouth and gulp. “You’re going to kiss me, aren’t you?”
“I’m starving for your lips.”
