“Do you make that a habit? Having sex with random women?”
“I never said she was random.”
Adelina frowns, shaking her head. “So, once we’re married, you’re just going to sleep around, is that it?”
“I had no desire to, but if you want me, I won't deny any woman a chance to sleep with me. I consider it an honor to be fucked by me.”
“You’re disgusting.”
“You said that already.”
“Well, I’m saying it again. And for the record, I’d never let a gross biker like you touch me in a million years.”
“So, you’re saying you want me to sleep with other women? Is that it?”
She pauses, lifts her chin, and says, “Yes. I do. If it means keeping your hands away from me, then use them on any other woman but me.”
“You know, I told the last woman I fucked that I plan on being faithful to you once we’re married. Would you really have me go back on my word?”
“We’re not married yet, so you haven’t broken any vows to me. And I’m giving you permission to have sex with other women. So, there. You haven’t gone back on your word.”
I scoff. “How gracious of you.” I eye her over. “You’d really be fine with me sleeping around just because you can’t stand the idea of me touching you?”
“Yes.”
“Then how come you’re not bothered by my hand on you right now.” I nod toward my hand on her arm.
Adelina blinks, then makes a big show of pulling her arm away from me. “I didn’t notice. Your touch doesn’t even feel like anything. That’s how little I want you touching me. It doesn’t affect me at all.”
My lips curve up into a smile. “Sure, it doesn’t. I saw the goosebumps on your skin. You can lie to me all you want, Adelina, but my touchhadan effect on you.”
“It was just biology,” she mutters. “It happens. It didn’t mean anything to me.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes.”
“Then does this mean anything to you?”
She frowns, but before she can answer, I capture her lips with mine. Inhaling deeply, she spreads her hands against my chest. I kiss her with all my might before she comes to her senses and tries pushing me away.
I pull away and give her chin a tap. “There. Did that make you feel anything?”
Adelina breathes heavily for a moment, staring at me with an expression I can’t make out. Then, anger fills her eyes. “How dare you!” She wipes her lips with the back of her hand.
“Ah-ah. Didn’t you tell me never to wipe my mouth with the back of my hand?”
She scowls. “That was about food. When it comes to a kiss, it’s more than appropriate.”
I chuckle and push myself away from her, creating distance between us. “Sure. Tell yourself that. All I know is I’ll be thinking about your soft lips when I go to bed tonight.” I wink.
Adelina ducks her head. “You’re disgusting.”
“Already said that,” I say in a sing-song as I stroll out of the room.
I smile all the way back into the dining room, where I wish Dario goodnight before heading home. Adelina may push me away as much as she likes, but there’s chemistry between us, and I’m going to make her see it one way or another.
Oh, this will be fun.
