“When are you going to start talking to me again?” Alek asked Emily when he returned to their home. She stood pensively in the doorway to the kitchen.

“I never stopped talking to you. You left me alone here to go speak with your father. I just stayed in the kitchen where you left me. According to the Vanguard representative, I’m not pregnant yet, but I am barefoot,” she said, looking down at her feet planted on the edge of the kitchen tile.

“Very funny.”

“No. But perhaps a good sense of humor would help us in our situation.” Her smile was genuine. “I know you didn’t have sex with Saundra on our wedding night. Therefore, anything else they come up with is suspect. We just need to think up a way to fight them.”

Relief washed through him. “How am I so lucky that you believe me?”

“Well, I know the kind of father you have. I have one just like him. Ruthless. A man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if he has to lie, cheat and steal. What’s not to believe?” Emily shrugged as if it was completely obvious he was telling the truth. “Besides, I remember licking chocolate off several places on your body on our wedding night once you returned from the study. Do you sincerely believe I would have done that if I had smelled another woman on you?”

“I love you, Emily.”

She stared at him, lips slightly parted, then blurted, “Do you? I can’t believe you said that to me. Aren’t men supposed to wait until their woman says it and then hem and haw before admitting any feelings? If you don’t watch it, you’re going to lose your membership to the He-Man Woman Haters Club.”

“I was kicked out of that sissy organization years ago, and I still love you.”

“Well, I love you, too. I really do. I have for a long time.”

“Why? Because I pleasured you against a door in a public hallway at work, then consummated our marriage to you in a stretch limo while someone watched us? I’m wondering what else I can do to win your heart. I’m running low on ideas, but perhaps later I could do you on the front steps while the neighbors rate us like Olympic contenders?” He pretended to hold up a poster, presumably with a numbered score on it.

Emily laughed. “Oh, Alek, you’re going to turn my head.”

“Well, I’d rather strip you down and do wicked things to you. What are my chances, do you suppose?” He approached her cautiously with a smile. She responded by giving him a visceral look of passion.

“Better than average, since you’re so talented at it. Don’t you want to talk about your visit with your father? What happened?”

Alek felt his face drop, betraying the memory of the genetic history remark his father had made.

Supposedly, he was a better lover, had more stamina, etcetera, than the average man because of his genetic improvements. It wasn’t like he had any choice in the matter.
