Chapter 15

“This is kind of sudden. Are you sure?”

“I’ve never been more sure of anything. I want us to live together, and I want to feel you cumming inside me—you know, no condoms.”

“You want us to commit to monogamy?”

“Exactly that. I don’t think either one of us is ready, at this point, to say the L word, but I think we ought to give living and cohabiting together a go.”

“Cohabiting—I like the sound of that.”

“Then you agree?” he said.

“Rion, there are some things you might not like about living with me.”

“Such as?”

“When I’m involved in a big trial, I can keep extremely long hours.”

“And?”

“I can be a moody bitch if I lose a case.”

“And?”

“I bring a lot of work home.”

“And?”

“I frequently work on Saturdays.”

“Is that it?” he said.

“Yeah… I guess.”

“Does that mean you agree?”

“Only if I can pay rent.”

“There’s no need for that,” he said.

“Of course there is. I don’t want to be your boy toy.”
