She breathed calmly. "I'm sorry, too, for not considering your feelings."
"There is no need. I should have used my words and not my anger. Forgive me, please."
Skai's lips stretched, the corner curving into a sweet smile. "I will. I forgive you, Damien. Just, next time, don't speak like that, okay."
"Of course, my love. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Damien glanced at the opened curtain. Evening was upon them and still no sign of Jared. He turned his attention back to her. "So, how about we make things fun?"
"Fun?"
"Yeah. You know, sex."
"Oh," she uttered, her face red, the tip of her ears warm.
"Would you like to, Skai?
"I-I, er."
"Hmm," he hummed, pulling her closer, the scent of his cologne drifting around her. "You can tell me."
"I, well." Skai was at a loss for words. Only Damien could take something serious and emotional and turn it into a fun sex time.
