“What?” he chuffed, quite clearly outraged. “So the papers can tell me tomorrow that I couldn’t go the distance with you? Or worse—imagine that I couldn’t get it up? I’m not having that. I’ll endure a million years of sweltering away in a tiny flat with you before I’ll let anything of the kind happen. No, this is what we have to do.”

Let them think whatever they like, she wanted to tell him then.

Only he’d said something else in that diabolical point he’d just made.

Something that didn’t just send her mind spinning. It sent electricity up her spine. She almost swooned because of it. And so of course she just had to say something about the wholebusiness, even if she couldn’t do anything but gasp the words breathlessly. “We? Soyou’regoing to do it,too?”

“Well, I was considering it, yeah.”

“But you’re not even in a state.”

“You say that like I didn’t just tell you what cranks my motor. Right before we extensively talked about the kind of stuff that cranks my motor. While you’re massively looking like all the things that crank my motor.”

She saw his gaze flicker over her face as he said it.

And then for just a second, just the barest moment, said gaze went down.

It moved over other things in a way she understood perfectly—before he seemed to get a handle on his manners again. Or at least, the mannershethought he should have. Right now, she couldn’t have cared less if he had suddenly decided to have no manners at all.Go on and search all over me for signs of arousal, she thought at him. Even though she still didn’t know where they stood right now.

“Yeah, but there’s cranking your motor a bit, and needing to get off.”

“And which one of those two things do you think I am?”

“The one where you look calm and relaxed.”

He did, too. Even when she factored in that look he’d given her, he did. In fact, the only sign of thatmotor crankingthing he’d said was his flushed face. The rest of him was as tidy and composed as a man about to step onto some red carpet.

His suit was crisp; his hair looked completely unruffled.

And his voice, when he spoke, didn’t so much as waver.

“Only reason I do is I’m good at keeping a lid on that sort of thing.”

“It would show in other ways, though. Very noticeable ways.”

“Not if you wear five pairs of underpants.”

“And bythat sort of thingI’m assuming you mean—”

“That my hard cock can’t really be contained by just one.”

This time, it was her who looked down. Though in her defense,he had just basically said he had an erection. And not even a reasonably sized erection, either. No, apparently, he had an erection so huge it had to be leashed, like an enormous and really excited dog. All of which she kind of had some idea about, considering what several kiss-and-tells had said with regard to his whole situation.

But still.

It was something else entirely to have it spelled out.

And especially in the casual way he’d just done it.

She couldn’t even tell him off for bragging.

He didn’t seem to register that it was a big deal.

He was just being honest, and practical, and oh god, the way that made everything so much worse. “Did you really have to put it like that?” she moaned, but honestly she should have known not to.

Now he looked even more devilish than he had before. Like he hadn’t really understood he could push her buttons before. But as it was at this point clear that he could, all he wanted to do was jam his fist down on them. “Honestly, that was the tame version. I was going to tell you that I’m just aching for a good, long fuck. But then I thought maybe you’d think I meant that I want to fuck you really badly, and so changed my mind at the last second,” he said.

And boy was that maddening for so many reasons.
