I could feel a vague fear lingering there, anyway.
He watched me wrestle with it. I could almost see the thoughts running behind his eyes, but he wasn’t sharing those with me, either, not even through his light.
“Untie me,” I told him softly. “We should talk, Revik.”
He shook his head. “That’s not much of a negotiation, wife.”
“I have to negotiate to get you to untie me? Come on, Revik. We should talk.”
He bent down to kiss my throat.
“You mean about your dreams?” He clicked at me half-seriously, supporting his weight on his arms and hands, causing them to tense where he hung over me. “You call me a workaholic.Gaos.I don’t shop-talk you when you’re trying to fuck me, wife. It definitely makes me think I’m doing this wrong.”
He tugged me down the bed, easing me down the mattress until my locked arm was straight over my head. It only occurred to me once I got there that I couldn’t move in that position.
“Gaos.What am I doing wrong?” He sank his teeth briefly into my neck. Pain rippled off him. “You’re only making me intransigent. More intransigent…”
“Intransigent?” I laughed.
“Stubborn. Unwilling to change one’s views.”
“I know what intransigent means,” I said, torn between laughing and rolling my eyes. “My English is still better than yours. Are you really not going to talk to me?”
“Let go of my light,” he coaxed. “We can fuck a few times, then talk.”
“Revik.” I let out an involuntary laugh. “You’re impossible.”
“Let me go,” he coaxed. “I’ll leave you here the rest of the day if you don’t.”
Studying his eyes more carefully that time, I smiled. “You’re serious.”
“Dead fucking serious.” He leaned his weight, gasping when I stopped him, using his light. “Here’s my negotiation,” he said. “Let go of my light. Let me control this… and I’ll give you what you want. I’ll tell you everything you said last night. I’ll tell you anything you want to know about Dalejem… and my fucked-up fantasies about you hitting me with a belt.”
He paused, letting that hang for a few seconds before he shrugged, a faint smile hovering on his lips.
“…Don’t let me go, and I’ll retaliate.”
I rolled my eyes. “Retaliate, how? By chaining me to a wall?”
His eyes turned visibly more predatory. “It’s a win-win for me. I might leave you in here for days. Make you perform sexual favors before I feed you. Make you eat every meal off my cock. Drink water off my cock. Suck me off before I let you use the bathroom.”
I held his stare. “What if I did the same to you?”
Pain flickered across his face.
Seeing the expression there, I shook my head, clicking softly.
“Gaos,”Pain rippled through my light. “You’re hopeless.”
“Are you going to fuck me?” he asked. “I thought you liked what a perv I am. Do you really want to have a heavy conversation before we do this?”
Thinking, I had to concede his point.
“Okay.”
“Okay?” he said. “Okay to which part? Are you going to let me fuck you?”
“I was thinking about it,” I admitted, looking at his cock.
