“Go to bed with me. Let’s have some amazing sex, and get you pregnant in the process.”
“I told you, I don’t want a relationship.”
“Fine. Give me one night, then.”
She blinks, and her gaze slowly focuses on me. “You’re serious.”
“I’m deadly fucking serious.”
“I’m not going to sleep with you.”
“Why? I can’t be any worse than Rich-oh-fuck-I’ve-come-already-Halcome.”
She giggles. Then she lifts a hand to my face. Her gaze is filled with longing.
“We’d make the most beautiful baby,” I say.
She brushes a thumb across my bottom lip. “I thought you didn’t want to be a distant father again? Why would that be any different?”
“Because I think if you give me one night, I’ll be so irresistible that you’ll want two. And then three. And we’ll never look back. And we’ll have a dozen beautiful children and be happily married until the end of time.”
She lowers her hand and gives a short laugh. “It’s a nice fantasy.”
“We could make it a reality.”
“I don’t think so.”
“Why not?”
“You remember the story I just told you about having a non-healing fracture?”
“That was ten years ago. We were kids back then. We’re grown-ups now. We’d make it work.”
“I don’t want that, Hux.”
“You’re just scared.”
“Maybe.”
“And it’s understandable. But if you give me time, I’ll prove to you that I’m serious about you.”
She looks at her glass. Then she has another mouthful of whisky.
“Let’s start with one night,” I tell her. “When you’re ovulating. I’ll make love to you as many times as I can manage it. And if, after that, you want to call it a day, I won’t argue.”
She gives me a mischievous look. “How many times do you think you could… ah… arrive in one night?”
“Arrive?”
“It means come.”
“Funnily enough, I was able to decrypt your Enigma code. So, with you? Ah… Fourteen, fifteen?” My lips curve up as she giggles. “All right, that might be an overestimation. Um…” I think about it. “In one night? I’m not as young as I used to be.”
“Ballpark.”
“Ah… okay… if I don’t self-administer for a few days before…”
She gives a short laugh, and her eyes dance.
