CHAPTER SIX

“Victoria, I don’t understand!” Kurt ran an agitated hand through his hair as he stared in bewildered anger at the slim bit of highhanded woman in front of him. Her breasts rose and fell in extreme anger, her eyes alive with rage. “For the life of me I can’t see anything insulting about our getting married!”

“That’s what I mean! You can’t even begin to understand my viewpoint!” she stormed, her hands clenched at her sides, almost visibly restrained, as if she would love to shake him thoroughly. “You’re trying to take over my life! I walk in here and find you on the phone, okaying the removal of my possessions from my apartment, as if you owned me! I told you I would move, but I didn’t mean that you could take over my move! I didn’t say when. I just said I’d do it. I’m the one who decides. No one can do that, especially not you, and not when you are!”

“Is that what this is about? Me moving you out of an apartment you needed to move from and into an apartment that you already agreed you would occupy?” He looked almost relieved, as if he could understand a woman’s illogical mind much better than she could, and her anger built up even further.

She took a deep breath, reminding herself that he was trying to be tolerant while she was giving an explanation she knew he would never understand.

“You’re asking me to become a part of you and mingle our private lives,” she said in a barely controlled voice. “You want to protect me.” He nodded as if relieved that at least she understood that. But her next words dampened any hope he might have had. “You want to wrap me in cotton and put me in a box that only you can open when it pleases you. I cannot and will not do that!”

Pure frustration etched his face. “That’s not what I’m trying to do. I just proposed to you! I asked you to marry me! How in the hell could I know you’d take it as an insult?” he shouted in frustration.

“I didn’t! It was just that added to all the other things you do, it was too much! Can’t you see that?” She stamped her foot in frustration before turning toward the window and staring sightlessly out at the purple-tinged night. “We don’t know each other well enough for a long term marriage. And I will only be married once, Kurt, so I’m going to be long, deliberate and careful about my marriage partner. And you! I don’t think you’ve been faithful to one woman at a time in all your life!

He bristled. He waited, staring at her back. He told himself to calm down as she was calming down. When he thought her emotions had stopped the roller coaster ride, Kurt spoke softly. “I’m in a position to take care of your needs. Is that so bad?” His voice was a low caress as he stood directly behind her, not touching her physically, but stroking her with his tone.
