“He behave?”

“Of course. I mean, he kinda asked me out—”

“He did what?” Venom practically growls around the words.

“Um… what I mean is,” I stammer, my brain working overtime to find a way to diffuse the anger in his voice. It’s not like he owns me. He has no right to be upset. “He asked if you and I were together and I told him the truth, that we’re not. Anyway, I said no.”

He takes a deep breath, no doubt getting his emotions in check.

“You in bed?” he asks in a calmer voice.

“Yeah. Just reading my book.”

“Any action yet?”

“Actually, that’s where I am now.” I lick my lips, anticipating what he’ll say next.

“Read it to me.”

“What?”

“Read it to me,” he repeats, his voice husky and firm.

“Are you serious?”

“I’m waiting.”

I reach for my tablet, picking up where I left off.I can’t believe I’m doing this.Why am I doing this?Shit.

“Reese slides inside me, stretching me like no one else has. God….” My voice falters.

“Keep going.”

“God, he’s huge. But he feels so good. ‘Reese,’ I moan, wrapping my legs around his waist. He begins to move, each stroke an assault on my senses. I….” I pause, heat rising in my body. It’s not the words in the book, per se, it’s reading them aloud tohim. “I contract my muscles around him, making him groan, muttering curses under his breath.”

“Did he eat her pussy?” Venom asks.

“Um… no.”

“Then your book needs a new hero. If I had you in my bed, that’s one of the first things I’d do.”

My clit pulses. “Venom….”

“Any man can fuck a woman. Eating pussy properly is an art. Done right, a woman can come in a second, while she can ride a dick for hours and all she’ll be is sore and frustrated. Unless it’smydick, of course.”

I know the last part was to lighten the mood, but it doesn’t stop me from pressing my thighs together. I want to ask if he’s mastered the art, but that would come dangerously close to flirting, and extend a conversation I don’t want to continue.

“You shouldn’t do that.” My voice is soft and lacking in conviction.

“What?”

“I’m just… not comfortable with you talking like that.”

“It’s not supposed to make you comfortable, Emily. My only aim is to make your pussy wet.”

“See what I mean? You can’t say things like that.” I reach up to loosen my collar, only to find I don’t have one.Jeez.What is this man doing to me?

“Of course I can. I just did.”
