as much a part of me as the sun is a part of the sky, as the Earth is to the universe.
“And when I find the leak, he’s going to wish that he never fucked with our family. I can promise you that.”
“Lily Calloway, will you marry me? For real this time?” I open the box, and a ruby cut into a heart sparkles back at her. Diamonds circle it.
“I confess, that I’d very much like to make love to you.” My heart flips at the last words. We never say make love. We fuck. We screw. We bang. Making love is for the soft-hearted without tar-coated pasts. Lily claims she doesn’t deserve to make love, but I’m determined to change her attitude. “Is it different than fucking?” she asks me with wide eyes. “Very much so.” Frown lines crease her forehead. “How?” “I’ll show you.”
Her eyes brighten with possibilities, but she doesn’t insist, doesn’t ask or compel me for more. She waits for me. Just as I asked.
