Chapter 72. No More Secrets

Venus POV

“No,” I heard myself say, despite how much I wanted to lead the way to my room. His lips paused on the curve of my neck, and he lifted his head in disbelief.

“No?”

“No. We cannot settle our issues with sex every time. You won’t learn anything from this if I let you fuck your way to forgiveness.”

I came off the stool, leaving him on his knees, and finished my lukewarm tea. It was chamomile-flavored, and the smell was heavenly. He did not move an inch. Instead, he let his other knee drop in humility.

“I have not slept in two days, Venus. I have a festival I should be enjoying, but all I can think about is how I want to be deep inside you, how I want to lose myself in your tight pussy till I lose even my mind. You can punish me any other way, but don’t starve me of you.”
