James sat down on the rug in front of the chair I was in and handed me a manila envelope. He put his hand on my knee, rubbing the inside of my knee with his thumb, not looking at my face.

I had gotten pretty good at reading him. Whenever he did something he knew I wouldn't like, he rarely ever looked me in the eyes. Whatever was in the envelope, he thought I wasn't going to like it. My heart started to beat faster. "What is this?"

"Your present." He tore his eyes away from my knee and looked up at me. "Open it." He leaned down and kissed my kneecap.

I moved my leg away from his hand. Now he was just trying to distract me. I tore open the top of the envelope and pulled out a small stack of photos. They were pictures of really beautiful rooms. Really beautiful, huge rooms. Each room was elegant, yet modern at the same time. It was exactly James' style. Which had become my preference as well. I let my eyes meet his.

"Now, before you say anything..."

"I don't want to move." We had discussed this in length. And I thought we had agreed to stay here for at least a while longer. Graduating, starting a new job, getting married, it was all too much at once. I didn't want to move on top of everything else.

"Baby," he said and grabbed my hand. "When we get married, we're going to need a bigger place."

"This place is big. It's way too big actually."

James laughed. "It's cozy. That's why we picked it."

"I think I remember telling you that it was too big to be cozy, but this was the place you wanted. So I said yes."

"And now you love it here."

"Exactly. So I don't want to move."

"But we're going to be a family."

I stared back at him. We rarely ever talked about having kids. Whenever I brought it up, he not so subtly diverted our conversation to a safer topic. Was he changing his mind? I squeezed his hand. "James, I thought you didn't..."

"You're going to be my wife." He cleared his throat. "We're going to be a family."

Oh.Me and him. Of course that's what he meant. And that's all I wanted. He was always all that I had ever wanted. "Since we're going to be married, you want more space to escape from me?" I smiled at him.

James laughed. "No, not exactly." He grabbed my waist and pulled me to the edge of the chair. "More rooms to have you in, maybe." His hand slid up my thigh.

I laughed. "Are you sure that you don't want to just run away from me because I have so many flaws?"

"Hmm." He leaned down and kissed the inside of my thigh.

God was he good at distracting me.

He slowly pushed up the bottom of my dress, following his fingertips with a trail of kisses. He hooked his thumbs in the sides of my thong. "Baby, you don't have any flaws."

And he knew exactly what to say to wear me down. I lifted my hips and let him remove my thong. "Okay, fine. We can makean appointment with your realtor and go look at it together. Happy?"

He smiled. "We don't need to make an appointment. I already bought it."

"James!" My exclamation quickly changed to a moan as he thrust his tongue deep inside of me.Fuck."James, you can't...God!" I let my head drop back against the cushion as he spread my legs farther apart. I couldn't possibly think straight like this.Damn it.

He pushed the bottom of my dress up over my waist and I quickly pulled it over my head. My anger had been replaced by a more primal need, somehow making my want for him even stronger. I unhooked my bra as his mouth moved to my clit, sucking on it hard.

"Yes!"

His fingers replaced his tongue, plunging deep inside my aching pussy. His tongue on my clit matched the rhythm of his fingers, pushing me closer and closer to release. Why did I always give into him? Why did I always let him manipulate me with sex? He curved his fingers, hitting that spot that always made me lose control.

Oh God.My whole body felt warm from the combination of the alcohol coursing through me and the building desire in my stomach. I moaned again as his hand slid up, pinching one of my nipples. The sensation had a direct line to my groin.

I grabbed the back of his head as he sucked hard on my clit again. "James!" My orgasm crashed down on me. But the high didn't last long. The reality of what he had just done quickly returned.Jesus.I pushed on his shoulders.

After one last stroke against my wetness, he pulled back and stared at me.
