The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop. But it didn’t last long before I continued cutting my meat, smiling at Dominic’s parents like I hadn’t just admitted our marriage wasn’t consummated yet.

His father turned to him. “Dominic,” he said, voice low, “is this true? You don’t even share a bedroom?”

Dominic didn’t answer, which was all the answer his parents needed.

His mother made a little sound of distress. “But I thought…” She looked at me. “You two are married now. Pups should be on the way soon. All of your behavior recently… That’s not related?”

“What behavior?” I asked, taking a bite of my food. “You mean the part where I stabbed your son at our wedding, or the prawns?”

Dominic’s mother blanched and looked at her son, for, for his part, looked utterly furious. His hands were gripping the edge of the table and he looked like he was trying to quell his anger, but failing miserably.

Good.

I watched his face with satisfaction. All this time, I had been doing my absolute best to be awful so he would divorce me, publicly causing mayhem and refusing to do my duties, but as it turned out, all I needed to do was admit to his parents that we hadn’t had sex yet.

That would be his tipping point. It had to be. Dominic, for all of his patience, couldn’t stay with me after this. He was still a prideful and arrogant person, despite everything. This humiliation would eat away at him. His parents were already furious and confused, clearly having expected to have grandchildren soon.

More importantly, if news of this spread, then it could ruin him. He’d forever be known as the Alpha who couldn’t convince his own wife to have sex with him after their wedding. He would never live it down.

Or so I thought.

But Dominic, as it turned out, was just as good at playing this game as I was. He took a breath, composing himself, then smiled pleasantly.

“We’re working on it,” he said with the utmost calm, as if he were utterly unbothered all of a sudden. “It’s just that… Well, I shouldn’t be telling you this, but…” He glanced at me, and I saw a mischievous little sparkle in his eyes, and then he turned to his parents and lowered his voice.

“Ellie has a fear of intimacy,” he whispered.

His mother inhaled sharply, pressing her fingers to her mouth, and shot me a look.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

I opened my mouth, but Dominic quickly cut in, “She’s afraid of the pain.”

“The pain?” His father laughed, eliciting a well-deserved smack from his wife. “Ellie, it’s not that bad.”

“Oh, hush!” Dominic’s mother scolded. She turned to face me and took both of my hands in hers, making me drop my fork on my plate. “Ellie, I won’t lie; it does hurt the first time, and if Dominic is anything like

his father in the…” She cleared her throat and mouthed: “Size department…”

Dominic buried his face is his hands. Even I flushed red.

“But the second time, and every time after that, will be pleasurable for you,” she went on. “I can give you some tips, if you’d like. Lubrication is important, and there are special toys made for women. We’re different than men, you know-”

“I think that’s enough, Mother,” Dominic coughed.

I smiled. “No, that’s okay. Go on.”

His mother, grinning, launched into a rather elaborate explanation of women’s anatomy and how to seek pleasure. I had to admit-it was probably the first time ever that I found myself truly liking the woman.

And the look on Dominic’s face made it all worth it, even if the whole thing about my fear of pain was completely untrue.

“Well,” his mother finally said, leaning back in her chair, a little breathless from her long-winded lecture, I do hope you’ll consider it now.”

I reached for my wine and raised the glass in Dominic’s direction. “Perhaps,” I said, although we both knew
