"Not weird at all," I replied, enjoying the touch of his lips. Even though we slept together as always, we really hadn't been very intimate aside from a goodnight kiss.
I leaned back to stare into his gold eyes, which revealed a glimpse of his vulnerability.
"Talk to me?" I urged.
I wanted to know what was on his mind.
"I just feel really small compared to everyone else. I know I'll get stronger and we don't like talking about this, but I feel inferior to them. I want to be by your side and protect you. I know it's stupid or maybe it’s a boyfriend thing. I just don't want to be forgotten,” he confessed in a quiet voice.
"I'd never forget you, silly," I whispered.
I leaned up and kissed him, my eyes never leaving his.
Those gold orbs stared into mine while we kissed and ever so slowly, they closed and his lips pressed back.
I moved my hands up his back while his lowered to grip my ass. I smirked before slipping my tongue into his mouth.
My body roared to life, wanting more and I subconsciously pressed my lower half against his groin. He quietly moaned and quickly turned me so my back pressed against the counter.
He pinned me with his body, kissing me ferociously like this might be the last time we shared a passionate exchange.
We broke apart, both out of breath, and he pressed his forehead against mine.
"I love you so much,” he whispered.
"I love you just as much, Logan. No one is going to replace you," I whispered back.
He was silent for a moment before he finally spoke.
"What if the others fall in love with you?"
"What makes you think they will? They know we're dating," I replied, unsure how to answer his question.
Even if they did, he'd never allow it...right?
"The way they look at you,” he replied.
"And what way is that?" I inquired.
His lips lowered until they were just barely brushing mine.
"The way their gazes lock onto your body when you're working out. Or how the mood seems to lift when you walk into the room. Doesn't matter if it's your female or male form. It's as if you have a charm regardless of gender, you just draw attention."
"That attention means they like me?" I wondered.
"Maybe,” he replied before kissing me.
We kissed for another minute before he pulled back to stare into my eyes.
"If one of the guys here did end up liking me...what would you do?" I asked.
I really doubted it would ever happen...well, maybe with Nixon who I couldn't deny seemed to have some interest in me, both as Jinn and as Jewel.
Either way, if I had to make myself exclusive, which was the normal 'standard' around here, I would have to respect his request if I wanted to continuing being an 'us.'
Still, a little part of me wished he'd think about it. I didn't know what it would be like to be in a polyamorous relationship, like ones I'd read in some of the manga books Alice had been reading and the recent anime shows we'd watch during our spare time.
"I don't know,” he replied.
