"Love is a chemical reaction in your brain." The words are true, but they don't feel true at the moment. They don't explain the entire situation. They miss something important. "Vasopressin and Oxytocin building with bonding. And sex."
"We had that," he says. "But it wasn't enough."
"But you'd give that up?" I ask. "You'd give up great sex for marriage?"
"Is that how you see marriage?" he asks.
I guess I do. I swallow a sip. "Sometimes."
"Why? Your parents seem—"
"Don't finish that sentence."
"They put work into keeping things alive," he says. "All those mini getaways."
"And the travel," I say. "It helps keep desire alive. Because it's hard for anyone to want something they have."
"That's perceptive," he says.
I nod.
"I'm good at sex," he says. "I never doubt that."
"Me either."
He smiles.
"I, uh, do you want to show me?" I ask. It's not the smoothest come-on, but hey, it works.
He smiles and teases me. "Have I not?"
"Show me more."
His eyes flit to my chest. "Is that why you picked this spot?"
I nod.
His pupils dilate. His voice drops. "Bad girl."
My sex clenches. It sounds so sexy on his lips. Everything does. And I want to slip away from the serious talk. I want to dive into sex.
"Did you picture this?"
"I did."
"Show me," he says. "Show me exactly what you imagined."

Even though I'm in a sequin dress, I feel sophisticated in a sexy way.
Or maybe that's the way he looks at me.
I love the way he looks at me.
