It was exactly what Barend had imagined…no it was more. More than he had dreamed. It was…exquisite. He could have laid there with his arms wrapped around her, protecting her from the world forever. But, his mind was troubled at the same time.

He almost told her his secret. He almost revealed the animal side to her. He only stopped himself when he realized just how much he didn’t want to lose her. If she found out, would she run away? He couldn’t bear it. Everything he said to her about how different she was, he meant. And, he did want a relationship with her. He didn’t know what he would do if she ran away. She broke his train of thought with a completely unexpected question.

“How many women have you had?”

“What?”

“How many?”

“Amelia, it doesn’t matter, ok?”

“It does to me.”

“Why?”

“I’m curious.”

He heaved a big sigh. “You know I have gone out with a lot of women. They were all just one night things.”

“Ok.”

She wasn’t going to let this go. “Truthfully I don’t know.” He could have sat there and counted if he really wanted to, but he didn’t. What if she ran away over this? Oh god, his mind was spinning.

“Ballpark figure?”

“Amelia.”

“I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.”

“I’m afraid you will leave.”

“I won’t leave. I already knew about your past when I went out with you tonight.”

“Ok….30s. Somewhere in the 30s.”

“Ok.”

“We had an agreement.”

“What?”

“What about for you, Amelia? You agreed.”

“Three.” She whispered.

“Really? Only three? How is that possible?” He was genuinely puzzled. This beautiful, amazing woman. And she had only been with three?

“Well, I had a high school boyfriend. He was my first. Then, I was with Lucas for two years. Now there’s you.”

“No one nighters? Nothing?”

“No. I’m younger than you Barend. I’m only 23.”

“I know. I’m just a little shocked!”

“Why? Because I’m picky?”

“Well, no. Because you are so beautiful.” He was sure she was blushing again.

“I’ve had other opportunities. I just didn’t take them.”

“Well, I’m honored.”

“Why?”

“That you chose me as your third. It’s actually an honor. Once again, you prove you aren’t like any other woman I have met.”

He hugged her closer and smiled, but still, in the back of his mind was the small voice telling him his secret could ruin it all. He couldn’t tell her now. Not like this. Not when she didn’t know him well enough yet. No, he would have to wait until they got closer.

Maybe, just maybe if she was falling in love with him one day, then she would be able to overlook it. This is exactly why he didn’t like relationships, he told himself. It was better to stay at arm’s length and never get close to someone. What was he doing now? Why did this girl get him to let her in? He tried to put everything out of his mind and just enjoy her presence, but it was all still there and nagging at him, making it impossible to relax.

He was going to have to tell her about the beast, but not tonight.
