“Mmhm. That’s basically it.”

He dragged a hand through his hair. “How long does it last?”

“I don’t know. Twenty minutes? After it softens, we’ll have a few minutes before my heat goes crazy and we’re lost to it again. Like, five. Maybe less.”

“How many times does it happen?”

I shrugged. “Enough to last a few hours.”

“Fuck,” he said.

“Do you want me to call Silas and ask him to?—”

“No. You belong to me. As far as I’m concerned, this has never happened to you before, remember?”

“Right. Well,theoretically, it should feel good,” I said. “For both of us. It’s like a constant stream of pleasure. You’ll get off more times than you can probably imagine.”

“What’s the purpose of the… knot?”

“Oh, it’s supposed to impregnate me.”

He blinked.

And blinked again.

Then cleared his throat. “Do condoms work with it?”

Relief rolled through me. He wasn’t looking to breed the next generation of pure-blooded Savages or whatever. Not yet, anyway.

“Do you seriously think a condom would fit over a knot? Or stay on during the kind of wild animal sex we’re discussing?” I asked.

“I don’t know, but it’s worth a try. I don’t want kids anytime soon, and I always wear condoms. How else are we going to prevent it?”

“I’m obviously not ready for babies either.”

“As far as I’m concerned, you’re still a virgin,” he said bluntly.

I rolled my eyes. “I have an IUD. We’re fine.”

He let out a relieved breath.

We were on the same page there.

“So there’s nothing to worry about,” he said. “Except the fact that the base of my cock is going to grow while I’m buried inside you, bareback, for hours on end.”

“Right.”

“Sounds kind of hot.”

I bit my lip to hide a grin. “It’s always?—”

“You’re a virgin, Princess. You’re a fucking virgin,” he barked out.

A laugh bubbled out of me. “Whatever you say.”

Heat had never been fun before. It was always good in the moment, but the guilt and despair seemed to wipe away any pleasure the moment it was over.

Maybe I was a little bit excited to spend it with Enzo.
