I sucked in a breath.“Thatyou’d get bored of me,”I said, finding it afraction easier to speak.“Thatyou’ll get bored of the innocent, little girl act and remember what it was like to be with a woman who knows how to please you.”
He smirked, but it was humorless.“Firstly, I’m already with a womanwho pleases me, both in and out of the bedroom. Cora, you haveno fucking idea how happy it makes methatyou’ve never been with anyone other than me. You’ve learned what I’ve taught you. WhatIlike. Fuck, every time I rememberthatI’m the only man to have ever been inside you, I’m taken back tothatmoment where my cock was covered in your virgin blood, and I relive our first time over and over. I’m the only man to have made you come. The only one who has fucked your throat.”He slid his hands around to cup my ass, squeezing over the dress.“And when you’re ready, I’m going to claim this ass like I’ve claimed every other part of you.”
My cheeks began to heat when it registered what he was referring to,and I’d be lying if I said my heart rate didn’t spike at the thought of trying anal sex with Fox.
“Secondly,”he continued.“There will never come a time when I’mbored of you, Cora. Can’t you see? I’m obsessed with you. When I’m with you, all I want to do is touch you, and do whatever I need to do to seethatincredible smile I love so much. When I’m not with you, I’m thinking about you. When I’m at work, I spend most of my time staring at the picture I have of you on my desk, counting down the minutes until I can see you again.”
“You have a picture of me?”I said, elation filling me.
This time when he smiled, it was full of affection.“Yeah, baby girl. It’sthe one I took of you in Grand Central Station. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of our time in New York. They were the happiest days of my life.”
My face fell at the reminder of what Annaliese had said of our time inNew York.“Were you emailing Lily while we were there?”
His brows furrowed, and after a few thoughtful seconds, hetook his hands off my ass so he could pull his phone out of his pants pocket. He held it in front of us so I could watch as he unlocked his phone and pulled up his emails before opening up a folder and bringing up an email.
“I emailed her once after she sent an apology for turning up at thehouse. This was my response.”
I slowly read through the two emails. My reading had gotten a lotbetter, but I was still slow. Fox was nothing but patient as I scanned through, making sure I’d read it all correctly.
Once again, mortification took over. I’d let my imagination convincemethatFox and Lily had been exchanging hundreds of dirty messages while I slept next to him.
“What else?”Fox said, locking his phone and repocketing it.“Whatelse did she say?”
I closed my eyes, knowing this would be the hardest part to say. Ididn’t want to look at him or myself as I said it.“She saidthatonly certain types of women can handle you. Women like Dominique and Lily. She said you’d fucked Dominique, and with the way you two were eye fucking each other, she was surprised you hadn’t fucked in the middle of the party.”
His reaction was not what I’d expected. He started laughing, his eyesalight with mirth.
“Why are you laughing?”I said, spinning around to face him.
He managed to compose himself.“Because Dominique is amadame.”
“A what?”
“A madame. She’s into BDSM. She gets off on dominating herpartner. She ties them up and whips them, amongst other things. I stupidly thought it was something I wanted to try, but I hated every second with her,especiallywhen I couldn’t sit down for days after. It was about three years ago, and I’veneverslept with her since, nor would I again.”
My mouth hit the floor as I stared at him, imagining Dominiquestanding over Fox with a whip. I couldn’t stop the snort from leaving me at the mental image. In an instant, the charged tension in the atmosphere lightened, almost returning to how it normally was between me and Fox.
He took my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.“Baby girl, Domand I are friends, that’s all. She knows nothing will ever happen between us again, and now she knows you and I are together, she wouldn’t ever dream of trying to come between us, she’s not likethat.”
“I saw you two talking and laughing, and it looked like she wantedyou. I was jealous,”I said, embarrassedthatI’d let my jealousy get the better of me.
Fox’s lips quirked up on one side.“From the second you walkedaway, to the second Sav brought you back, I was talking about you, baby girl. I was telling Dom how fucking incredible you are.”Heat flooded me at his compliment, the flush on my cheeks spreading down to my chest.
When Fox pulled me into his arms, I wrapped mine around hiswaist as he kissed the top of my head.“Anyway, I likethatyou got jealous. It’s how I felt when every guy I introduced you to eyed you like they were imagining what you tasted like.”
“They didn’t!”I said, rearing back to look up at him.
He grinned down at me.“That’s another thing I’m attracted to. Youhave no clue how fucking gorgeous you are.”
A shy smile curled my lips, the coil around my heart now completelyunraveled. How could I have ever let myself believe Fox didn’t want me?
“Was there anything else?”he asked, returning to the conversation.
I bit my lip, debating whether to hold back the final part Annaliese hadspewed or whether tojustget it all out.
Honesty won.
“She saidthatyou couldn’t stay away from Lily, andthatyou two weremade for each other. She said it will only be a matter of time before you crawl back to her.”
