Or not.
"I'm joking, by the way—-"
"I don't think I can ever do kinky," I say at the same time, "but I'm very open-minded?"
His jaw snaps shut, and I'm not sure what to think when I see him go absolutely still while staring at me like I'm his teenage fantasy made real.
"Tell me more, please."
Is it just me, or has his voice turned unnaturally thick?
"Do you have any hard limits?"
And getting thicker by the second, too.
"Or can I really do anything I want with you? And to you?"
I finally realize that the thickness of his voice is all due to lust, and since I find it rather marvelously brave and indubitably crazy of him to lust after someone like me—-
"I don't think I have any hard limits, physically speaking." The least I can do is give his question serious thought and answer honestly. "But I'm not sure I'll ever be the type to scream 'I love you' when having sex?"
He starts rubbing his jaw again, and I wonder if he'll think I'm crazy if I tell him it's when he's doing that I'm likely more prone to saying those three yucky little words?
"Anything else I should know?"
"I get bored rather easily, but I can also get insatiably curious and greedy?"
"Like a cat." He purrs as he says this, and I barely manage to keep myself from rolling my eyes at the irony, which I'm sure is all deliberate on his part.
Why has no one ever told me how harder it is to date people than to kill them? Even my own family has certain lines they dare not cross in my presence, but this guy just doesn't seem scared of me in any way.
I can't read him at all, and more importantly-—
Why is he now laying a hand on his chest like he's struck by Cupid's arrow?
"You really are a girl after my own cock."
If Cupid worked for Hugh Hefner, that is.
"Or mouth."
I look at him blankly. "Come again?"
"I know our conversation has gone way off course, but surely you can't have forgotten...?"
What is this man talking about?
"You asked me to kiss you. Remember?"
Oh.
Right.
I did forget about that, and when I see him start patting his lap with a wicked grin...
How incredible.
This man is really like no one else, with how good he is at making me feel not just human...but so, so womanly as well.
