**Chapter 65 p>
“I turned him down flat. I told him my fiancé isn’t too keen on me getting too chummy with other men p>
A sly grin flickered across his lips, a brief flash of mischief. “Good girl p>
Then—oh God, help me—he gently patted my head, as if I were a well-trained cat that had just performed a trick.
His hand withdrew almost immediately, as though he realized the absurdity of his actions. He dragged his other hand down his face with a dry chuckle, a sound devoid of warmth. “You couldn’t have just called it a mistake? Or denied it outright p>
I rolled my eyes, my voice laced with sarcasm. “Oh, absolutely! And then he’d just sit there, watching me squirm, convinced I was lying. Dean doesn’t need proof to spin a tale—he just has to sense that you’re not being truthful p>
Out of nowhere, a ridiculous thought popped into my head, one that had nothing to do with our current predicament.
“He’d actually make a fantastic bloodhound. Imagine if he put those talents to good use p>
Roman muttered something under his breath, a low threat that sounded like it was meant for Dean. “I’d kill him p>
I couldn’t help but smile, albeit faintly. “Get in line p>
He plopped down in the chair across from my bed, his elbows resting on his knees, staring at me with an intensity that made me feel like a puzzle he was desperate to solve. “You’re absolutely unbelievable, Sav. So, now Dean thinks we… what? Hire escorts together? Engage in ménage à trois? Orgies p>
Hearing those words spill from his mouth, and realizing he wasn’t outright denying the implications, stirred a strange mix of emotions within me—jealousy? Mild disgust? Perhaps even curiosity?
It was a cocktail of feelings that I hadn’t anticipated.
I shrugged, trying to play it cool. “Only with the well-stacked ones. I told him that’s where the real fun lies p>
The look he shot me was a blend of disbelief and reluctant amusement. “You’re insane p>
“And you’re welcome,” I shot back, a smirk dancing on my lips.
“But it’s actually the high-end VIP courtesans. Or the Vixens,” he added out of nowhere, his tone maddeningly casual, as though we were discussing the weather.
I blinked, momentarily taken aback. “What p>
“The real fun isn’t just about proportions. It’s about talents, skills… and even areas of specialty—which can vary. Most of the time, the most thrilling experiences are with the PSE. Or even the GFE. Especially the former… just saying.” He shrugged nonchalantly, as if he were sharing a recipe rather than discussing something so scandalous.
My jaw dropped in disbelief. In a fit of impulsive frustration, I hurled the pillow beside me at him, aiming for his head with all the vigor I could muster.
“Roman!” I gasped, my tone incredulous. “You’re really shameless, aren’t you p>
He caught the pillow effortlessly, laughing as though this was all just a game. “I’m being honest here.” He shot me a sidelong glance, reminiscent of all the teasing moments we had shared in the past.
I would have fired back a witty retort if it weren’t for the sudden, unwelcome ache that flared between my legs, courtesy of the images my treacherous mind conjured.
Fuck.
Way to go, Savannah.
Roman leaned back in his chair, rubbing the bridge of his nose as if trying to ward off a headache. “But then again… Savannah, you might have just made this worse. What if he tells someone that’s what we’re into? Those kinds of rumors don’t just fade away overnight p>
I tilted my head, contemplating his words. “So what? We’re already an unlikely couple. Our reputation is just one bad whisper away from scandal. Besides…” I let a smile creep onto my lips. “Wouldn’t the nerdy Savannah Hart being into some dark kink make her more… human p>
His gaze sharpened, a flicker of intrigue lighting up his eyes. “Keep talking p>
“Maybe a little bandage play. Role-play, knife play. Whips and leathers. Perhaps even… submission?” I bit back a smile, reveling in the shock that danced across his features.
His voice dipped, taking on a rough, low timbre. “Submission? You’re playing with fire there p>
“Fire’s the only thing keeping us warm in this arrangement,” I shot back defiantly, my heart racing at the challenge in his eyes.
We locked gazes for what felt like an eternity, the air between us thick with unspoken words—need, denial, accusation.
There was an undercurrent of something else, too—a grudging admiration, perhaps, and that familiar electric hum that always seemed to ignite between us when we pushed each other to the brink.
I cleared my throat, breaking the tension first, feeling the heat of his gaze still boring into me. The thought of what must be swirling in his mind sent shivers down my spine.
How had I managed to survive five years without feeling this attraction to him? Had I really been so blind?
My mind raced, desperately seeking a way to diffuse the palpable tension that hung in the air, his eyes still locked on me.
I snapped my fingers in front of his face. “Earth to Roman p>
He blinked, shaking his head as if coming out of a trance. Finally, he leaned forward, his expression turning serious. “Alright. Back to the problem at hand. If Dean’s going to run his mouth, we need to ensure he only says what we want him to say p>
A smile curved my lips, the thrill of strategy igniting a spark within me. “Now you’re speaking my language. What do you have in mind p>
