She bit her lip.

“I want you.I mean, I wanted you before, obviously, or I wouldn’t have come here, but now, I just want to—” She fell silent.

“You want to what?”

“It’s wrong.You attacked me.”

“Tell me, Baby Girl,” he demanded

“I want to fuck you.I’m burning inside.It’s as if my skin were an incessant fire and all I want to do is strip and feel your hands on my body.”

“Do it.”

“What?”

“You heard me.”

“You bit me,” she said weakly.

“I did.”He agreed.“But your desire hasn’t lessened.”

“Did you drug me?”

“No.”

“Did you—”

“Alice,” he interrupted her.“You said you wanted to take off your clothes and feel me.Stop thinking.Stop talking.Do what your body desires.Follow its order.Do it.Now.”
