Page 18 of Stay with Me

“Despite what you may think, I’ve yet to meet a woman who brings that shit out of me like you do. Half the shit I do with you, I’ve never done with anyone else.”

I kiss the tip of her nose before returning to my resting position. It’s a fact. The freaky, adventurous shit I do with Rem is something I only do with her. I’ve never fucked anyone else in a bathroom, coat closet, on a ski slope, in the back of a car, on the hood of a car, the list goes on.

It’s like when I have her in my sights, I have to have her. I can never get enough of her, and I seem to never be able to wait. She makes me insane.

She scoffs. “You can’t be serious.”

“Have you ever fucked anyone else the way we fuck?”

She’s silent. Our eyes lock but she quickly looks away from me. It’s in her cheeks. Hell no, she’s never let anyone else have her the way I have. I can’t help grinning my ass off.

“Didn’t think so,” I say when she doesn’t reply. “So why is it so hard to believe that I haven’t?”

She shrugs. “I don’t know. You have this thing about you. Like you’re this sex god who goes around granting wishes.”

She clamps her mouth shut as I roar with laughter until I start to cough and choke. She gives this cute little pout. So beautiful and adorable at the same time.

“I’m not drinking any more wine.” She huffs and folds her arms over her chest.

“Come here, baby,” I say, opening my arms for her to come to me.

She hesitates for a moment before coming to snuggle on top of my chest. Damn, this feels right. I tighten my arms around her and kiss the top of her head.

“Where haven’t we fucked that’s on your list?”

She’s silent again. So long I don’t think she’s going to respond. Rem fidgets a little before she gives me an answer.

“The elevator to your apartment. It reminds me of that one Usher video. “Little Freak,” I think is the name. I don’t know. I’ve always wanted to do it in one of those old elevators.”

“Seriously?” I chuckle.

“Yeah.”

“I’ll be checking for that video. I like the way that sounds.”

“What about you? You sound like you have a list.” I can hear the humor in her voice.

“I might have one. A public car garage while outside the car has definitely been added to it.”

She laughs and shakes her head. We both get lost in thought as the room grows quiet. I’m glad she’s here. I feel better already.

“Thanks for taking care of me.”

“How’d you get sick in the first place?” she mutters.

“Lelia.”

“Who?” she says jealousy clear in her voice.

“A toddler who almost lost her shoe.”

She relaxes and releases a small laugh. “You have to explain this one.”

Because Rem can have anything she wants from me, I tell her the story of the little girl who sneezed in my mouth. An hour later, she’s still laughing at me, but she’s doing so while lying on my chest.

“I think it’s time for you to change out of these clothes. I’ll make you some more tea too.”

She’s right, I’ve soaked through this thermal shirt. I just haven’t wanted to release her. If I could spend the night with her in my arms like this, I would. I’m damn sure going to try.
