"Right answer." It’s my turn to smirk.
"I’ve had good sex, but this is different." He frowns as if trying to make sense of his words.
"Thanks, I think?" I twist my lips.
"That didn’t come out right." He pushes a lock of hair behind my ear. "It’s different because of what you said earlier."
"What did I say earlier?"
"That feelings thing that you hinted at. Clearly, it makes a difference."
"Is that an admission?" I smirk.
"Maybe. It doesn’t change anything though."
"I know." I reach up and cup his cheek. "Maybe this will, though.”
He tilts his head. "What do you mean?"
"We didn’t use a condom."

We didn’t use a condom.Didn’t use a condom.Cazzo!Of course we didn’t use a condom. The thought hadn’t even crossed my mind. I had been consumed by her. Had found myself drowning in her. Had fallen into her and hadn’t been able to think, let alone have cognizance that I hadn’t protected myself.
"You didn’t stop me, either."
"I didn’t," she replies.
"So, the thought did cross your mind?"
She hesitates, then shakes her head. "In all honesty, no. I got, ah, a bit carried away," she murmurs.
"And you’re not on the pill."
She shakes her head.
"Fuck." I withdraw from her and she winces. I pause. "Are you sore?"
She nods. "In a good way."
A rush of heat swirls through me. She should be sore. She should wear my mark inside her and on her. It should be clear to the world that she belongs to me. She’s mine.Mine. Mine. Mine.
A-n-d there’s that part of me that cannot shut up since I laid eyes on her. That feral, possessive part of me that’s determined to get me into trouble. The one that leads me by the dick. And my heart, and my mind, and my soul—whoa, stop that. I rein in that train of thought, then push away from her and to my feet. "Stay there." I stab a finger in her direction before I pivot and stalk to the bathroom. I pull out the plug in the bathtub to let the water drain out, then grab a washcloth and wet it before I prowl back to the bed. I’m about to press the cloth between her legs, then stop. I reach down, rub the remnants of my cum into her pussy, then frown.
"Are you sure I didn’t hurt you?"
"I am, why do you ask?"
"Because you’re bleeding." I hold my fingers up to show her the droplets of red clinging to my fingertips.
Her gaze flicks to my digits, and she blinks rapidly. "Oh, no, I got my period. I knew it was coming, but I’d hoped it wasn’t for a couple more days."
"Is that why you didn’t stop me to get a condom?"
She raises her shoulder. "Maybe. I mean, subconsciously, I knew I was going to get my period any day, but in all honestly, I wanted you to come inside me."
