Page 11 of Kane's Fake Relationship

“That’s not true. I’ve met many people who switch. Asking if you do isn’t out of line.”

“No, but telling me you want to play rough with me is.”

“I didn’t say I would be the one doing the roughing up. Did I?”

Her lips parted in surprise and I chuckled at her struggle to form words.

“Listen, I just want to get to know you, Trinity. Everything about you. Do I want to make mad, passionate love with you all night? Abso-fucking-lutely. But that has nothing to do with my kinks, or yours, unless we want it to. I’ve never met anyone who pulls me in the way you do, and I don’t have any intentions of letting that go.”

“Do you speak like this to every woman you meet?”

“You’re not like every woman. You don’t strike me as the type who wants me to jump through circles and play games for your attention. Am I wrong?”

“No. You aren’t.”

I stood up from the seat I was in at her counter and walked around it into the kitchen. I reached for her hand and guided her to the couch, pulling her into my lap. It surprised me that she let me take the lead, but I had a feeling there was a lot more to Trinity Hill than she let on. I ran my hand up and down her back as she let out a deep breath.

“Why don’t we start with you telling me what you need tonight? I’ve made it clear what I want, but you haven’t said a word. I can see you’re tired from your scene. Maybe your day as well. What do you need from me to make things better?”

The corner of her mouth turned up in a small smile. “I am tired, but being around you makes me want to ignore that completely.”

“That’s a good sign.”

She let out a small laugh. “You made a lot of promises a minute ago.”

“The ones about worshiping your body?”

“Yep, those were the ones.”

“When was the last time you were with a partner? Not for the sake of a scene or play. When was the last time you dated someone seriously?”

“College. Maybe. But I don’t even consider that as a serious relationship. Things ended poorly. I don’t regret it. What happened to me then turned me into who I am today and I’m proud of that.”

“Why haven’t you found anyone else?”

“I haven’t wanted to, and just so we are clear. I’m not looking for anyone now either.”

“Right. Just a fake relationship to keep our families happy for the holiday,” I said with a wink, “But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy each other, does it?”

“I guess not.”

“I want tonight to be just me and you, no kinks. No dom and sub shit. Just a man and a woman who ended up hooking up after their first date.”

“Date? We haven’t been on a date.”

“What do you call what we just did?”

“We ate food, and then you promised my mother the world. Now, because I’m insane, you are sitting on my couch and promising me… what exactly are you promising me?”

“A ton of orgasms, lots of laughs, and someone to sleep next to at night.”

“And during the day?”

“With our families we will be the perfect couple. Before we get there, it’s up to you. I’d love to make you mine until Christmas is over, which means days and nights and everything you are willing to give, but I understand if you have other plans.”

She sat there quietly for a minute and then laid her head on my chest. “Maybe we could try that. It’s just a few days, right? It’s not like that much could happen, anyway.”

“I have some work to finish up tomorrow, but we can head to Whitewood in the afternoon if you don’t need to do anything here.”
