Nights of Sin(26)
What’s going on?
Corey smirked. “You know I really thought I was above having one woman because I figured all women were different. They’re there to be used, and I didn’t give a fuck about feelings. I figured they’re for women, and some other men can pick them up out of their issues. Then you entered the fucking club.”
Alexa tensed up. She’d done nothing wrong.
“You entered, and you looked so fucking innocent, and I could see how damned excited you were to actually be there. You wanted to watch, and be watched. When you finally looked at me, I thought fuck it, I’ll wait for her to come to me, and have done with it. Instead, you watched. You stayed back, and you watched, and you didn’t come toward me.” He laughed. “You didn’t even come to the club every day, and I would spend a lot of time watching and waiting for you to come to the club. You never came to me, and then Nathan, that fucking asshole, who has moved on, just so you know, he decided to break my rules.”
“Rules?”
“I told every single guy at the club to stay away from you. You were going to be mine. It was just a matter of time. Imagine my surprise that you didn’t approach anyone else either. So, I waited, and then it was taken out of my hands because I wasn’t about to let Nathan take what was mine.”
“I don’t belong to anyone.”
“You belong to me, Alexa. I took you, and now you’re under my skin. I’ve tried to fuck you out of my system, but you’re there, and I can’t get you out. The club, without you, holds no appeal to me. I don’t want to fuck random women. I want you, and I can’t even think about another woman with you in my life. I’ve never been with a woman inside her apartment, Alexa. I’ve never slept beside a woman in a bed, or held her close. I don’t take lunch to women, or think of ways to get her to spend time with me. I’m trying to be part of your life, and that fucking scares me.”
Tears filled her eyes as she saw his anger, his desperation, and something else, which she wasn’t going to delve into.
“You’re a player,” she said.
“I couldn’t guarantee ever being faithful before, but I can promise you, I’m faithful to you, Alexa. My dick is yours.”
“Are you making some kind of proposal?” she asked, not really believing it.
“You’re not ready for a ring, so how about an agreement. We’re together, going steady, or whatever shit they call it.” He pulled out a piece of paper. “I got tested. I want to stop using rubbers. You’re on the pill, and you’re protected against pregnancy. I want this.”
“Wow,” she said, seeing his medical tests. He was clear of anything, but he was blowing her mind. “You want to … date?”
“Yes.”
She stared down at the form, and it took her a few seconds to gather her thoughts. “Why? You could have any woman.”
He chuckled. “I hate that you insult yourself. You really don’t see your appeal.”
“You’re rich. You can have any woman you want.”
“Thank you. I’m rich so gold diggers are in my future. You make a guy feel the love.”
“It’s not that. It’s just, I don’t know. You’ve got a reputation.”
“I hadn’t kissed a woman at the club until you.”
“What?”
“I didn’t want to kiss another woman. The moment you get intimate, women, they expect certain crap, and that’s not me. You’re the first woman I’ve kissed in a long time.”
She touched her lips.
Alexa loved it when he kissed her. He was a passionate kisser, and she would hate not to have him kissing her.
“I’m not saying this will be perfect between us. I’ll piss you off. You’ll probably even hate me, but I want this, Alexa. I love spending time with you, and the past three weeks with you have been the best of my life.”
“The best?”
“Remember I told you about my doctor?” She nodded. “Well, you’re the first person that I’ve enjoyed spending time with. I don’t want that to end. I don’t have any claim on you, and I don’t want to wake up one day to hear you’re with someone else.”
“I’m not that kind of person.”
He shrugged. “I want us to be together. No other partner. It’s just us.”
Alexa put the medical report down, and moved toward her paperwork drawer in the corner. She pulled out the medical record, and placed it in front of him. “I can get a new one done, but you’re the only guy I’ve been with.”
He didn’t even pick up the paper. “Is that a yes?”
