I sighed. “You’re like Quint in Jaws.” (Yes, I’m a nerd. Sue me.)
Connor frowned. “Who?”
“The old sailor guy who was obsessed with sharks. He helped Roy Scheider hunt Jaws down.”
“Is Miranda ‘Jaws’ in this metaphor? Because Jaws got blown up, right? ” Connor nodded in approval. “I like this metaphor.”
“Yeah, but Jaws killed Quint first.”
Connor gave me a reprimanding look. “Miranda’s not killing me.”
I didn’t think so, either… but saying it out loud sounded too much like famous last words.
“She could still hurt you.”
“Doubtful.”
I wasn’t really sure how doubtful it was, but I didn’t say anything.
“I still like the metaphor of blowing Miranda up, though,” Connor continued. “If Jaws killed – what was his name?”
“Quint.”
“Quint. Yeah. Since I’m not Quint, then I guess I’m Roy Scheider.”
“He was chicken about going out on the water.”
“Then I guess I’m not Roy Scheider, either. Who’s a badass who’s not afraid of anybody or anything?”
I gave him a disapproving look. Tamp down your ego, dude.
“Hey, you started it,” Connor grinned.
“I don’t know… David, maybe?”
“David who? David Koch of the Koch brothers? I know that guy. I’m way more of a badass than that guy.”
“NO. David and Goliath.”
“Noooo,” Connor scoffed. “David was the underdog. I’m not the underdog. And Miranda’s definitely not Goliath.” He thought for a second, then clicked his fingers. “Ahab. Captain Ahab. He wasn’t afraid of anything.”
I rolled my eyes. “Moby Dick killed him.”
“He did?”
“YES.”
“Oh. Then I guess I’m Moby Dick.”
I playfully squeezed his crotch. “Yes you are.”
“Mmm,” he said, and came up behind me and started kissing my neck. His hands reached around my body and cupped my breasts.
Suddenly I was flush with warmth and seriously turned on.
“No,” I whined, like This isn’t fair.
“You started it,” he whispered in my ear, which turned me on even more.
