Alere looked
at Torg as she reclined against the pillows with a book in hand, a cup of chamomile tea to soothe her frayed nerves and a har of
chocolate next to her.
“Still not talking to me?”
“You ate my last slice of pizza.”
“I’m batting a thousand today, aren’t 17”
“Not even close,” she snorted.
“I got Antero to bed on my own and he didn’t flake.”
“He knows I’m still pissed about the dog so he’s thinking it’s better to give me space. He’d have tucked himself in tonight if it meant I wasn’t kicking his dog out.”
“He was quite wonjed you would do what your father did.”
“As il.”
She ignored him as he removed his t–shirt and hopped onto the bed beside her. He lifted the chocolate and grinned, “are you going to share?
“Do you want another punch to the nuts?”
He gently put the har down beside her. “You’re cranky. Do you need some red wine to go with your chocolate?
“Is that a PMS joke?”
“Maybe?” he queried cautiously.
“I am not on my period, you giant toad. I am infuriated and I have every right to be. You’ve completely commandeered my life. You’ve usurped every bit of organization, structure, and routine I maintain with Antero. You’re stomping all over my life and you don’t even give a shit how much you’re asking me to give up. I get no control at all anymore and I’m pissed off.”
“I understand.”
“Do you?” She snapped and turned to face,“do you understand Torq?” Her eyes flicked to his muscular torso coated in tattoos and ripped ridges and hated herself for being attracted to it. When he snapped his fingers in her face she looked at his smirking arrogant features. “What is wrong with you?”
“You like what you see?” he rubbed his chest.
“It’s alright,” she shrugged carelessly. “I mean we had sex six years ago. Then we had sex last night. I think I’m good another six years.” She look pleasure in the way his cocky smile fell away, and his brows knitted together.
“You don’t mean that.”
She laughed at him. “Are you offended somehow? I’m angry at you Torquato. I don’t want to have sex with you.”
“Till fix it.”
“How do you intend to fix all the shit you did today? Torq you made statements on my behalf today, spoke for me as the new head of my family. put my life and the life of my sun on the line with my father and brother. You bought a dog which is the size of a small pony and it’s only going to get better. You didn’t talk to me about any of this and simply presented everything fait accompli. You took up so much of my time at work today that it too me to work two hours of overtime to get caught up. I needed to entertain Genevra and I’m trying to like her but gosh darn she’s a lot of judgment in a tiny body. Overall, today was the worst day I’ve spent in a long time and when we consider two nights ago I was ready to flee to another state out of fear you would try to kill me as a loose end and take my son, it’s saying something.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You keep saying it, but your actions don’t prove your words.”

“I don’t believe you.”
“What can I do?”
*Fuck off?” she asked blinking her eyelashes at him. “Gn sleep somewhere else. Give me this big bed all to myself with my tea and chocolate and let me enjoy my romance novel, the silence of an evening in a bed I’m not forced to share?”
“How about a
massage?
“How about space?”
“How about orgasms?”
“I already took care of that when you reading stories to Antero.” She saw his mouth open and close and smirked. She tapped her novel on the edge of the nightstand: “Did you think I was brushing my teeth? I use a mamial toothbrush in my mouth. She turned away from him again and looked back at her book. “Now if you don’t mind, there is a very sweet cowboy getting ready to pick a girl up for their first date with flowers he
the way.” stopped to pick himself in a field on
“What are you reading?” he grumbled and took the book from her hands ignoring her frustrated gasp. He took her chocolate bar and broke a piece off for himself. “Let’s see what this is all about. Also, there is no way you gave yourself an orgasm that fast.”
He opened the pages where her bookmark was set and started reading while he chomped noisily on her chocolate.
fiend. What
is wrong with you?” She reached into the drawer of the nightstand, grabbed her vibrator, and “Close your mouth when you eat you tossed it onto his chest. “Five settings. Setting number three is my favorite for a quick release to get rid of a stress. Held exactly right on the clit and it does wonders. Bzzz, bazz,” she mocked him.
He lifted it up and sniffed it and then frowned. “Smells soapy”
* wash my devices before and after each use.” She was appalled by his behavior.
“Devices? Plural?”
She gave him her own smug grin and confirmed, “devices. Plural.”
