CHAPTER sixteen

I lie on my back, drained. The blindfold, along with the strip of material that Dorian used to tie me to the bed, is discarded on the nightstand. Dorian leans on his elbow, caressing my stomach, his fingers traveling down toward my belly button and up again to the hollow between my collarbones. He’s focused, contemplating my body inch by inch.

“You must’ve had a lot of women.”

“Why?” He doesn’t raise his eyes to me, still watching the reaction of my skin to his touch.

“Because you read me so well. You know exactly what a woman wants.”

“Perhaps we’re just perfectly suited for each other.” He drags his finger around my navel in circles.

“You know it’s not the case.”

“I do,” he openly admits.

“You also know where those hallucinations were coming from.”

“I do.” As he says this, gloom creeps over his face. “How are you feeling now?”

“You asked me the same question yesterday.”

“Just answer,” he orders.

“I’m fine,” I say, and lay my hand on his chest. “Do you regret it again?”

“I don’t know.” He looks at me. “There’s something about you that confuses me. I’ve never been perplexed like this by anybody before. Whenever I say no, I mean it, but not with you.”

In a strange way, it makes me feel special for at least this short while. If I’m the only woman that has the power of confusing him and influencing his decisions, maybe I’ll manage to change his mind with regards to revealing his secrets as well? It’s worth taking a shot.

“Dorian, I know that there’s something you don’t want to tell me about. Don’t deny it,” I add, realizing that he’s about to chime in. “Have you told that secret to anyone?”

“No.”

“Rita’s the only one who knows, then?”

“Yes. She’s my family.”

“I guess you’ll never tell me, then?”

Dorian stops caressing me.

“I can’t. I’m sorry.”

I sigh. “How long do your intense relationships last?”

“We’re not in one,” he asserts.

“It doesn’t matter. Just answer.”

“It depends.”

“On what?”

“On how strong your will is.”

His response intrigues me. Last night he asked me about the exact same thing. Only when I said my will was infinite did Dorian stop resisting and let himself indulge in our passionate embrace.

“I don’t get it. Don’t relationships end when both partners can’t stand each other anymore? What would a strong will even matter when it comes to people’s decision to go separate ways?” I ask, holding my eyes on him.

“In my case, it has a lot to do with it. More than you think.”

“That I’m aware of. But can you be a bit more specific?”

“What I can tell you is that I’m the one who decides when it’s over.”

There’s a beat of silence before I respond to his words. Instead of clarifying things, he’s just lost me even more. “You? But haven’t you just said that the length of the relationship is up to her strong will?”

“That’s exactly what I said.” His face crinkles into a smile; he seems to be enjoying confusing me like this.

“I don’t get anything now,” I say, resigned.
