I can\u2019t say that I love you because I\u2019ve only known you for two days yet, I\u2019ve just shagged you which, for me, implies some level of caring. Like I said already, I\u2019m not the shag \u2018em and leave \u2018em type. At the very least I feel comfortable around you but this is your house and if I\u2019m being a little too forward I can leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re starting to sound like me,\u201d Summer returned wryly. \u201cIf I wanted you to leave, I\u2019d say so.\u201d She collected forks and sat down at the table, watching Victor. \u201cI\u2019m not really complaining. Just \u2026 confused. I can\u2019t remember the last time someone \/wanted\/ to shag me. Much less,\u201d she gestured around, \u201c\/spoil\/ me.\u201d With quick, economical motions, she tied her hair in a lovers\u2019 haste knot.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAm I? Starting to sound like you?\u201d he asked, \u201cIs that a good thing or a bad thing?\u201d Victor smirked then made a show of checking her over with his eyes. \u201cYou can\u2019t remember the last time someone wanted to shag you? That\u2019s ridiculous, you\u2019d have to have been living under a rock in order for that to happen. And if you think this,\u201d he returned her gesture regarding the food, \u201cis spoiling then you haven\u2019t seen anything.\u201d Victor shrugged. \u201cI\u2019m a bachelor with money at his disposal, I tend to be a little generous cos in all reality I\u2019ve no need for all of it.\u201d He rocked back on his heels a little bit, he wasn\u2019t the type to flaunt and horde his money, he liked to give things away to his friends and anonymously help out non-profits. \u201cAnyways, what would you like to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Victor, darling,&#8221; she drawled, folding her arms, &#8220;I would \/really\/ appreciate it if you&#8217;d stop insinuating I&#8217;m a liar. There&#8217;s the end of some apple juice in the fridge. Now,&#8221; she leaned forward, &#8220;I am, again, not complaining. It&#8217;s your money, you do what you like. I&#8217;m not ignorant of your &#8212; hmm &#8212; appreciation? But you have to understand, I&#8217;ve been alone in that way far too much of my life, and your particular regard is very unfamiliar to me.&#8221; Summer sighed, leaning back and looking down at her hands. &#8220;Frankly, I don&#8217;t know what you see.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iamvictor-roth: iamthefirechild: iamvictor-roth: iamthefirechild: \u201cYou have known me two days, Victor, darling.\u201d Summer gave him a suspicious look. \u201cI\u2019m not going to dis love at first sight, but really.
