Kala

My husband asks where did I go just now?

I don’t know how to answer that.

This may be a first. I always have a quick answer. I’m a professional thinks-on-her-toes.

“I… don’t know what you mean.” This is a lie. The truth is, I was enjoying every second with him until my self-preservation kicked in.

The way he ordered me to say his name repeatedly made my heart race. This is trouble. The standoff between my heart, my logical brain, and my libido has begun in earnest.

The next thing I know, we’ve switched positions, and he’s tucking me into his side, his arm wrapped protectively around me.

“You went somewhere, or I did something you didn’t like,” he murmurs, kissing my temple.

This sweetness isn’t helping me stay objective. Does he not know that every kiss, every touch, sends me deeper into oblivion? And how much that scares the fire out of me?

“You’re doing everything right, Etienne. It’s been a long time, and I don’t know if I remember how to make it good for you too.”

Technically, all of this is true, but a deflection.

“Good? Darling, I’m half out of my mind trying not to finish too fast. Trust me, there’s absolutely nothing you can do wrong. But if you want us to slow down, I will. I can wait as long as you need.”

As long as I need? Gods, I’ve been fantasizing about the so-called Bad Prince demolishing me with that wicked mouth for years. Too many years.

It’s not a matter of needing to wait. It’s all about being up in my head because I’m falling too hard, too fast, watching my heart break right in front of me.

“No, I don’t need to wait.”

“I think you do.”

He’s not going to budge. And I both hate him and love him for this. Where has this sensitive man been hiding all this time? And did some part of me secretly know he was hiding inside the unserious, hedonistic exterior all along?

Look at me, half-believing in soul mates.

“Tell me how to please you, Kala.”

“You were pleasing me.”

“Don’t lie to me, Princess,” he says, smoothing my hair away from my face. “You were digging your nails into me one second, and then something switched off.”

I’ve never had such an intimate conversation with any previous sex partner, and it’s a little out of my comfort zone. Okay, a lot outside of my comfort zone. Yet, I feel safe enough to answer.

“No one…no one asks me what I like. I don’t know. It’s usually just a few hurried thrusts to get each other off, and then we’re back to work.”

His hand stroking my hair stills. “Back to work?”

“Yes. I’m very busy, you see. Or, I was when I worked for the Human Rights Council. When you’re in the field, a lot is going on. Oh, it was never a boss/employee situation but sometimes a teammate…”

He chuckles. “Getting dirty at work. I knew you had it in you.”

“Stop it. It wasn’t like that. Okay, it was exactly like that, but it didn’t mean anything.
