“I fucking hate you,” she snarled.
He climbed off the bed, holding the grin until his back was turned, and walked to his dresser.“Sweet talker.”
“What are youdoing?”she demanded.
He turned back, holding up the condom he’d gotten off the dresser.“Condom.Unless you want to go without?”
Her flush deepened, and under the lace of her bra, her nipples were rock hard.So that hadn’t changed, either.
She had a thing for come.Not a fetish, exactly, but given the choice and reasonable safety precautions, she much preferred taking a load bare to using condoms.They’d both enjoyed indulging that preference, until a birth control fail in their junior year had made them paranoid, and much more cautious.
He walked back to the bed, flipping the little foil packet over in his fingers.“What birth control are you on these days?”
She licked her lips, her gaze flickering from the condom to his face.“The permanent kind.”
He halted next to the bed.“Huh?”
“I got rid of my uterus a year and a half ago.”
The condom slipped from his fingers to flutter to the floor.“Seriously?”
“And my fallopian tubes.I kept my cervix.And my ovaries.”
“How?”
Exasperation sparked in her gaze.“The usual way, with surgical tools and anesthesia.”
“No, I mean how did you finally manage to get it done?”he wondered.The doctor she’d had in college wouldn’t even consider it when she’d asked.
“Do you really want to discuss my reproductive health history right now?”she demanded.
He kind of did, because it was interesting, but he could ask those questions later.“Nope.Just need to know if you want me to wear a condom.”
“When was the last time you were tested?”
“Beginning of the month,” he told her, and left out the part that he’d done that with just this scenario in mind.“All clear.”
“Any partners since then?”
He shook his head.“You?”
“Annual physical a week ago,” she said.“I’m good.”
“Last partner?”he prompted.
Her eyes flickered.“A while ago.”
“How long is a while?”
Now she sighed, a sound of exasperation and annoyance.“Like a year.”
He grinned.“No wonder you’re ready to go off like a rocket.”
“Would you just shut up and fuck me already?”
“Okay,” he said agreeably.“With a condom or not?”
“Not.”
