But seriously?
I felt my eyes get big. “That’s a marriage proposal?”
“It’ll do for us.”
Oh my God!
Maybe he didn’t keep getting better.
I leaned in too, and hissed, “Apollo, that’s insane.”
“I was unsheathed.”
Crap!
“And you took me repeatedly,” he went on.
Crap!
I knew what he was saying. He was saying unprotected sex often equals pregnancy. And pregnancy also often equals marriage. Obviously even in this world.
I didn’t need to deal with that right then. That was too big for me to deal with. And I decided in that moment I couldn’t worry about something when I didn’t know if there was anything to worry about. Instead I would deal with it only when I knew that there was something to deal with.
Now, I needed to deal with the matter at hand.
“Apollo—”
“And I’m having you again tonight.”
Here we go. Back to arrogant Apollo.
“Repeatedly,” he went on.
I felt my heart thump just as my cl*t pulsed and I tried to pull my hand from his but his tightened on mine and I failed.
“And the next night and the next. I think you understand me,” he stated.
I glared at him.
“And we’re traveling together and sleeping in the same room.”
“For protection,” I snapped.
“Until last night, yes.”
“And yesterday, you called me Lady Ulfr to the staff at the inn and that was before what happened last night.”
“Indeed, as my intention was to take you to wife then too.”
Oh my God!
Was this happening?
“This is crazy,” I declared.
“No, it isn’t,” he disagreed.
I leaned deeper and bit out, “It so totally is.”
