“When you go through this whole courting bullshit, what happens when you get to the good part, if it sucks?”
My eyes widened. “You mean, if the sex isn’t good?”
“Yes.”
I took the last sip of my wine, because holy hotness, this man was really going there. He reached for the bottle and refilled both of our glasses.
“You move on.” I shrugged.
“And what if it’s great, but you don’t like the person.”
“I don’t know. It’s never been great.”
“You’ve never had good sex?” His voice was deep and gruff.
Why was I telling him this?
“Nope. But I’m young. There’s plenty of time.”
“Maybe you should consider coming to the dark side, Emilia.” His gray gaze looked nearly black as it locked with mine.
Hello, my name is Emilia Taylor, and I’d like a one-way ticket to the dark side, please.

I hadn’t broughtEmilia to Paris with any intent of having sex with her.
Sure, I’d thought about it.
I’d fucked my hand in the shower to thoughts of her so many times I’d set a new record. But I had no plan of acting on it.
But hearing she’d never had good sex?
It seemed like a crime not to act on it now.
Our plates were set down in front of us. This steakhouse was famous for their steak frites, so that’s what we were both having.
Not that I was thinking about food anymore.
Once our server stepped away, I leaned closer to her. Her fitted sweater showed off the slightest bit of cleavage, and I’d had to concentrate when we were on the elevator not to stare at her tits.
“What does it mean that it’s never been good?” I asked, my lips grazing the shell of her ear.
I loved doing that, because I noted the way her body shivered the slightest bit when I touched her.
Even just a graze.
She surprised me when she leaned forward, her hand finding my knee beneath the table as she spoke close to my ear. “It means I’ve had shitty sex with my past boyfriends.”
Why was I smiling?
My tongue dipped out to wet my lips. Our faces were so close that her warm breath tickled my cheek. “Has a man ever made you come?”
“No,” she said, and it came out a little breathless.
