“There was a time when that was enough,” Thomas admitted. “I was young enough once to be pleased to have a pretty woman on my arm and in my bed even if she was nothing more than a puppet. But that passed pretty quickly. It was hard to be pleased to have a pretty woman on my arm when I could read her thoughts and knew she was thinking that I was cute enough, but the best thing was that I had money and could buy her whatever she wanted, or that while I was cute, she preferred blondes, or that she hoped to God I didn’t expect her to ruin her figure by ‘dropping babies,’ or she hoped I was into S&M because she’d really like me to spank her, or…God, you wouldn’t believe some of the things women think. Or men for that matter. They may just be passing thoughts, but it detracts quickly from their attractiveness when you can hear every one, and some of them can be hurtful even when they aren’t meant to be.

“I’ve waited two hundred years for you, Inez. For a woman who’s beautiful and intelligent and her own person, someone I can’t read or control and who can’t read and control me. A woman who can stir my passions like you do and whose passion I can enjoy without hearing her litany of worries about whether I think her butt is too big, or her breasts too small.”

Inez bit back the sudden laugh that tried to burst past her lips as she recalled her own worries while Thomas had been caressing her. Despite her worries about being controlled and having her memory wiped and whether Thomas had done it, the first thing she’d done on getting into the shower was shave her legs and under her arms. Inez was terribly glad he hadn’t been able to read her thoughts while she’d been worried about stubble on her legs, but was also glad to know she wasn’t the only one who had worries like that in her head at such intimate moments.

“Yes, I’m worried. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. Truthfully, I’m scared shitless. I’m afraid you won’t find me as attractive as I find you, that my personality and lifestyle are too easygoing for a woman who is usually so competent and confident in business, that—”

“I’m not always confident and competent,” Inez admitted, worried that he might lose some of his attraction to her when he realized she wasn’t the perfect woman he was describing. Still, he would find this out soon enough and if they were to belifemates . “I am at work, but socially I’m less so. I’m—I know I’m smart and good at what I do at work, but personally and socially…”

“I suspected as much when I saw how you reacted to those three men joining you at the table,” Thomas admitted. “But most people aren’t as confident as they may appear. Besides, that will change after the turn. Thenanos keep you at your peak condition.
