“It is fucking real. It’s the realest thing in my life. It’s like I’ve been sleepwalking for thirty-five years, and you woke me into a world with light and color. I know it doesn’t make rational sense, but there are things in this world that don’t, and they’re still real, nonetheless. I never believed in fate, or karma, or God or anything. Now I believe in all of it. I’m ready to believe in anything. Tell me about ghosts. Tell me about monsters, vampires, werewolves, aliens. I’m ready. You’ve done that to me. Made me believe. Because something I never thought would happen to me did, and that thing is you.”
Her eyes widen, searching my face. “What if those things were real?” She pulls her bottom lip between her teeth. “All those things you just said. Or just one of them. How would you feel if you saw one, or knew they existed, those mythical beings?”
I shrug. “I told you, you’ve made me believe all things are possible. I mean it, Seleme. Because I never believed I would find you in a hundred lifetimes, but here you are. So, let’s just say, my mind is open to anything at this point.” I run my hands down her neck, then slide my fingers through the silk of her hair, pulling her into me, feeling the softness of her body melt into the hardness of mine.
Her cheeks are pink, and her mouth opens into an O, ready to retort, but I don’t give her the chance.
“Tell me right now, are you wet?”
She gasps as I rock my hips forward, pressing the length of my steel-hard shaft into her belly and watching her pupils dilate with excitement.
Her hands run up my arms, then down my chest until they are pressed over my racing heart. “We can’t. We just…can’t.”
I hear the words, but there’s no conviction behind them. She doesn’t want to deny me any more than I want to let her go.
I’m done using words. They’re getting us nowhere, and my lust takes control as I grip her around the waist, backing her into the wall, watching as she licks her lips in anticipation of the kiss that’s coming.
“You need. To answer. My question,” I demand. My mouth hovers over hers, drawing her sweet breath into me. “Tell me.”
The slightest of nods tips her head, and my cock twitches as she wets her lips again. I trail my hands up her hips, up her waist, over her breasts, until they reach the collar of her dress as she arches her back from the wall into me.
“I’ve been wet since you opened the door.” Her eyes flick up and down as I rock my body into hers. “No. That’s a lie.”
“You need to learn to tell the truth, Seleme. You must always tell me the truth.”
“I’ve been wet for four days. Every time I think of you. Every dream I have of you. So, no, I’m not just wet right now. I’m soaked. I want…” Her voice falters.
“What do you want? I want to give you everything, Seleme. Everything you could want in this world. Anything my mortal soul can give you, I will. All you need do is ask.”
Her pink face goes white.
“What?” I ask, unsure what I could have said that would scare her like this.
She shakes her head. “Nothing.”
“Tell me what you want.”
Her eyes are begging me for something that she can’t say.
“You want me to touch you?” I grab her dress in my hands and tug, making her yelp as the fabric tears, exposing the swell of her breasts. I don’t care. I’ll buy her a new dress. I’ll buy her a thousand. I’ll spend every penny of the money Castori gave me and be glad. I lower my hands and tug again, harder this time, until the rest of the red silk dress gives way, and I strip it from her body, leaving her standing in a black lace bra and panties.
Her body shivers as I trail my fingers down her soft skin, over her belly button, teasing at the elastic of her panties before exploring lower and parting the folds of her pussy with two fingers. She opens her thighs, giving me more of her, and the desire I see in her eyes has cum seeping out of my cock, making my balls throb.
She nods on a shaking breath as her slick arousal drenches my palm.
“I do.”
“Do what?”
“Want you.”
“Good. Because you’re going to get me. And this pussy is begging for me to be balls deep inside you. And far be it from me to deny you anything, Seleme. I already told you, I’m going to give you everything, but it’s going to start right here by giving you my cock. You want that, don’t you? Say it. Say you want my cock inside you. Tell me you need it.”
