As dawn began to crest over the ocean, spreading light and newness into the valley of vines, Thanos pushed out of bed, taking a moment to look back at a sleeping Alice before pulling on some briefs.

Her eyelids moved frantically—a sign of deep sleep and busy dreams—and he smiled a little, wondering if he was in her dreams.

But his smile shifted from his face as he moved from the bedroom back into the lounge area, his eyes falling first to the ottoman, his body hardening as he remembered the frantic, animalistic passion of their coming together, the feeling of absolute, sheer need driving him to her as though everything he was depended on that possession.

But Thanos was no stranger to sexual passion. He liked women. He liked being with women. He made no apologies for his appetite, nor did he need to. Alice was right—Thanos never lied in order to seduce a woman. In fact, he was always at great pains to be blindingly honest with any woman he was interested in.

Thanos wasn’t the kind of man to offer ‘more’—the elusive promise of something beyond the physical. He had no interest in anything other than sex, and never had done. It was one of the reasons he generally kept his ‘relationships’ to a one-time affair. It was a lot harder to hurt someone if you only spent a night in each other’s company.

And that had worked for him—it had been easy. Guilt-free.

But there was danger here, so much danger. Because everything was different with Alice. The intensity of his need for her was unlike anything he’d ever known. The sex had been mind-blowing, just as she’d said, so he’d been insatiable for her, wanting more and more and more. Even now, after knowing the pleasures of her body, her hands, her mouth all night, he was still filled with a hunger for her, a desperate craving that wouldn’t quit.

But by far the biggest danger they faced was that he couldn’t simply walk away from this. He couldn’t kiss her on the lips and fly off in his helicopter, back into his real world. He couldn’t turn his back on her and never see her again, as he ordinarily might.

She was his wife, and, even though they both knew their wedding was practicality at its finest, they were inescapably bound.

Sex complicated that. It complicated it in a way that meant he couldn’t make his peace with it, and yet he already knew he couldn’t walk away from it either. What he needed was to regain a sense of control; to put some boundaries in place. Because she was right. He hadn’t lied to her, and he didn’t intend to. Not with words, certainly, but not with actions either. He owed it to both of them to show he could control the passion that flared between them. It was a delight to be carefully enjoyed, not a need that should be allowed to overtake them.

He wouldn’t allow it, and he was Thanos Stathakis so naturally he didn’t, for one moment, doubt his chance of success.
