TWENTY-THREE

falling

The next few days passed in a blur. Noah whupped me at darts and tried to teach me to fish. We started a sea-glass collection, scouring the beach for hours every day. Daphne and Gene had gone off-island for business in Portland—I kept up with their dinner plans and Daphne’s workouts on Instagram. Bryce was busy with meetings; we didn’t see him much during the day.

But every night, he appeared in my room.

My virginity remained frustratingly intact. He wouldn’t make love to me—he never even tried. But we did all other sorts of things, taking turns pleasing each other, exploring each other’s bodies with touch. Every time I brought him to orgasm, I felt as if I’d leveled up in a video game: I had new superpowers. I couldn’t get enough of him. I couldn’t get enough of him wanting me.

Each night, he held me on his chest until I fell asleep.

Each night, he stroked my hair.

Each night, I fell more in love with him.

When I woke up in the mornings, he was gone. And all I could do was wait for night to fall again.

I couldn’t explain to myself what was happening. I felt as though my whole life had changed. All I could think about was Bryce—what he was doing, if he was thinking about me, how I missed him.

But it wasn’t just missing. I’d begun to crave my husband, crave his attention, his touch, his presence. I couldn’t think about anything or anyone else. When he wasn’t near, I was in a fog. I was also on the internet, browsing in private mode, researching how to please him in bed.

Midge must’ve sensed the difference because she was all over it. She unpacked new lingerie every day—black lace teddies, deep-purple thongs and matching bralettes, a champagne-colored lace romper. When I told her about our upcoming weekend in the Bahamas, she went bananas. “Maybe you’ll get pregnant!”

My cheeks heated. “Um…I don’t know about that. But by all means, bring on the lingerie. Ooh, and maybe more thong bikinis!”

Midge laughed. “You got it! He won’t be able to resist you!”

I wished I could confide in her. I longed to tell her the truth, to ask her advice. Mr. Windsor won’t have intercourse with me. Even though I’m dying to. Even though there’s a sharp pang between my legs every time I think about it.

What was wrong? Why wouldn’t he?

I was too afraid to ask him why. He’d wanted a virgin, and he’d paid for one.

But what if he wanted a virgin forever?

I prayed that wasn’t true. I prayed each night that that would be the night he would take me, that he would make me his. But it didn’t happen. Maybe on our special trip to the Bahamas, he would truly make me his wife…

I was sitting outside on the lawn, getting some sun while Noah fished off the dock, when Hazel appeared out of nowhere.

“Mrs. Windsor.”

I jumped. “Oh! Hazel, you surprised me.”

The reedy maid peered down her nose at me, disapproving.
