“I don’t need to be tamed in my journey to be successful,” I said.
“I’m not talking about your pursuit of success alone.” She shook her head, “Your sex drive is too much and might be used against you one day.”
“How would the suitors help then?” I scoffed.
“They’ve been tested,” she licked her lips, “And trusted. I’ll be sure you won’t be able to leave your marriage life.”
“Tempting but I’ll pass,” I said.
“No… my words are absolute,” she said, “I’ve left you to your own devices for too long. There’s been no sign of change or improvement.”
“But…”
“Unless, you’re saying this love interest of yours is able to keep your hungers at bay?” She crossed her arms.
“Well… I’ve only had sex with… him once,” I replied.
“Wait… just once?” She seemed surprised, “Is he terrible? Why only once?” “Why are you that surprised?! Even I know how to restrain myself,” I said, “Besides this isn’t the kind of conversation I should be having with my mother.”
“Eh? What’s the harm? Don’t be shy,” she said, “Who knows, if you’re a good girl I might reward you with my killer techniques sexy enough to leave him begging for more.”
“No thank you, I can manage on my own,” I turned her down.
“Still, I am surprised that you have feelings for someone,” she placed her hand on her chin, “Or maybe…”
“Maybe what?”
“Maybe you’re trying to throw me off." She tilted her head to the side.
“Pardon?”
“No offense but you aren’t really capable of love.”
“Offense taken, continue.”
“Well don’t you think you’re confusing lust and love?” she asked, “I mean you probably developed these feelings right after having sex didn’t you?”
“I...” I paused, “I didn’t… I really didn’t.”
“Then when was it?”
“When we kissed…”
“Which was during the sex?”
“No,” I said, “We only kissed that day and it took just that to make me all buttery. It was almost like… my first kiss.”
“With that Asian kid?”
“How did you know about that?” I turned.
She shrugged.
Sometimes my mother’s information network scared me. I think the reason everyone at Wolf Pack feared her was because she probably even knew more secrets about them than they did themselves.
“Yeah, it was just like how I felt then,” I said as I caressed my lips, “That was really all it took.”
“Hmm… So, I’ll assume the man on your mind is Nick Parker,” she said.
