“You…you said you didn’t—”
“I never said that.” He may have implied it but that was different. He moved closer. He needed to touch her, to remind her how good it was between them.
“You may as well have. It might not have been an actual lie, but the intent was a lie.”
“You wouldn’t talk to me.” His patience was disappearing fast. “You wouldn’t let me explain. You were ready to throw this all away over nothing.”
“You came to a sex club on our wedding night. That’s not nothing.”
“What did you want me to do?” This was not his fault.
“Excuse me? What did I want you to do on our wedding night? I don’t know.” She threw up her arms. “Maybe stay with your new wife.”
“My new wife?” His temper blew and he stalked closer to her. “You mean the woman who had to drink every drop of alcohol she could find to let me touch her but that still wasn’t enough, was it?”
“I apologized for that.” She backed away from him.
“Oh, that makes such a fucking difference. You laughed at me.”
“I…I was nervous, and I apologized and…” She paused, her nose wrinkling in thought. “No. You do not get to make this about me. This is about you.” She poked his chest. “You’re the one who went to a sex club on our wedding night.”
“Because my bride didn’t want me, and why do you care anyway? This isn’t a real marriage. You sure like to remind me of that, and it’s not like you love me.” Those words tangled in his throat.
“You don’t love me either.” She backed away another step. “And I know this isn’t a real marriage, but we have a contract. We agreed to be monogamous.
“You…” He stopped himself. This wasn’t the time to correct her about that.
“Were you ever serious about this or was it all some big joke?”
“A joke? If anyone is playing a joke, it’s you.” He took another step toward her. “I had to bring my wife to a sex club, so she’d see me as a man.”
“I…I knew…I know you’re a man.” She took another step away from him.
“Really? One with a dick or a man like an uncle or eunuch?”
“I…I…You were my boss.”
“That’s a fantasy for many women but apparently not you.” He stalked her across the room.
“No. I never…I…”
“Yes, I know. You never thought of me as a man.” That still ripped through his gut like he’d swallowed acid.
“That’s not true.”
“Isn’t it?” He stopped inches from her when her back hit the wall.
“No,” she whispered. “I did at first but then...”
“Yeah, that’s right. I yelled. You even made a program to laugh about me behind my back.”
“How did—”
“You told me all about it. Another gift from my loving wife on our wedding night.”
“Oh, no.” Her eyes widened. “I didn’t…I’m sorry. It’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s a joke but no one knows but me.”
“You’re right. It’s not bad. Why would I be upset that the woman I married has her own special program to make fun of me. Hell. She even wrote it.”
