"Can I be honest with you?" she asked, and I quickly nodded my head. I would love some honesty right now.
"I think you want to be under him."
Her words didn't make sense, so I tilted my head as if asking her to explain herself.
"You want rough, wild sex with this handsome beast of a man. That's all I can come up with. You want to claw him—kiss him until he bleeds—"
My cheeks flushed red while listening to her.
