It was so strange to see him like this. Comforting, too. 

And maybe a little frightening–because the way I had softened toward him during the feast, and the way that his words earlier about an ‘outlet‘ had warmed my groin, was dangerous. He had acted like a perfect gentleman for the entire feast. For once, it had felt like I had a…. 

A husband. 

“What did you mean earlier about needing an outlet?” I blurted out before I could stop myself. 

Noah blinked for a moment as though trying to remember, and I felt my heart sink; maybe he had just said it in the moment and had forgotten. 

But then, realization dawned on him. “You want the truth?” he slurred. 

I nodded, and Noah sighed. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since we slept together,” he admitted, his eyes meeting mine. “It’s driving me crazy.” 

I felt my heart rate pick up, but I forced myself to remain calm. “Noah, that was a one–time thing. We talked about this. We can’t complicate things, especially with the divorce coming up.” 

“Why not?” he challenged, leaning a little closer so that I could smell the wine on his breath. 

I swallowed, my voice faltering for a moment with him so close. Finally, I muttered, “Because our relationship… Our relationship isn’t deep enough anymore to warrant a lifelong marriage. We’ve grown apart, Noah. We’re different people now.” 

Noah stared at me, confused. To prove my point, I decided to test him. “Do you remember that time we snuck out to the lake at midnight when we met for the second time? It was a full moon, and we… 

I trailed off, watching his face for any sign of recognition, waiting for him to finish the story. But Noah just looked confused, shaking his head slightly. 

“See?” I said, trying to hide how much his lack of memory hurt. “You don’t even remember our past, and this isn’t the first time this has happened. We’re just… not in love anymore, Noah.” 

The words stung as they came out, but I knew that they were true. And it seemed, to my surprise, that Noah knew it as well. 

“You’re right,” he growled, looking away. “We’re not in love. But what’s the harm in some physical intimacy?” 

I stared at him, shocked. “What? Noah, you’re drunk. You don’t know what you’re saying.” 

With that, I stood up, intending to leave. But Noah was faster. He blocked the doorway, his body close to mine. Before I could react, he had my wrists pinned above my head against the wall. 

My breath caught in my throat, a mix of fear and excitement coursing through me. I hated to admit it, but 

a part of me, the same part of me that had tasted the doe’s blood, was turned on by this forceful side of Noah, I fidgeted a bit beneath his touch as one hand slid down the front of my body. 

“Noah-”

Whatever words I was about to say died in my throat as he grabbed the hem of my dress, hiked it up roughly, and thrust his fingers between my legs. Instead of words, only a tiny whimper escaped my lips as he swirled his fingers there for a moment, feeling the wetness, then pulled away to show me his fingertips 

shiny and damp, proving his point.
