Page 20 of All That She Needs

"Your favorite music."

"Anything Jazz." His brows rose at that, and then he smiled, looking very pleased.

"Your favorite quote."

"I'm not arguing. I'm just explaining why I'm right."

He laughed a big belly laugh at that before launching the next question. "Giving or receiving head."

"Giving." I blurted, then my eyes widened in shock and my hand shot to cover my mouth. "I can't believe I just admitted that!" His smile widened, dimple flashing, clearly amused.

"Red or white wine."

"Red."

"Beach or mountain."

"Both."

"Sweet or savory."

"Sweet. Any time of the day."

"Good to know. Favorite sex position."

"Anything with eye contact." I grinned, finally past the squirming embarrassment, though the blush still lingered—something I couldn't control. "I'm not picky," I added. Then,completely out of character, I winked. Liam looked taken aback by that gesture. He grinned, then quickly recovered.

"Sub or Domme."

"Sub." I paused before I added shyly. "I enjoy playing that part very much."

Something flickered in his eyes. For a split second, I could have sworn an inky darkness completely swallowed the turquoise blue. It was so quick that I almost questioned whether I had imagined it.

"The number of guys you've dated."

"One."

"The number of guys you had sex with."

"One."

Liam paused. His gaze was intense on me, with a hint of wonder. It felt like he was trying to put the pieces together, to grasp something more about me, but in the end, he just couldn't.

"Do you love your job?"

The way he changed the topic so fast gave me a whiplash. I took a moment to answer that, not quite playing the game anymore. "Yes, and no."

"Why uncertain?"

"I'm proud of what I accomplished, and I'm good at my job. But at this point, it's monotonous. Nothing exciting for me anymore."

"What do you think you'd be doing right now if you're not the CEO of a multibillion-dollar steel company?"

"Working on my garden."

Liam looked surprised. "And?"

"That's it. I love my garden. I'll never get bored. Plus, I'll get a nice tan so that I'm not so vampire-looking anymore."
