Chapter 19
Arriving home left me excited, edgy and filled with anticipation. Even though it ended up such an eventful day, I remained fully alert and prepared for exactly what may come next. I had made a promise, and now I was ready to fulfil anything asked of me.
"Little One." The way Jene growled those two words made my heart flutter with delight.
"Are you ever going to call me Isla?" my words flew out of me unexpectedly. Yes, it was something I thought about, a lot, but we didn't need to discuss it right now.
Jene's face fell the smallest bit, and he winced too. Why did I have to bring this up now? Thinking about it, I realised that I wanted him to say my name. I wanted to hear it from his lips. I wanted to know that I meant something to him, that my name was mine, and that the past didn't matter.
"I apologise, but even now that name has bad connotations to me. I do not want to say it and inadvertently think of her. With time, I hope it changes." He sounded so earnest that I had no reply.
"I get it." I finally said.
"I have many desires." His voice went back to that growling tone, and my heart rate shot higher with a pleasant twisting in my stomach.
"It might surprise you, but I've got some of them too." I admitted.
"Come." He pointed a hand to directly in front of him.
"How about we start in the bedroom so we don't have to stumble down the hallway later." I crooked a finger at him and made my way to my bedroom.
He paused, as if unsure of my plan. I stepped back towards him, hooked my fingers around the belt loops of his jeans, and tugged him forward. With a smile up at him, I reached for his hand and pulled him with me.
"It has been a long time... for me." Since I'd first met him, he had an edge of uncertainty in his voice that wasn't about my name, so I turned to him.
"You can't tell me that Evil Isla was the last time you had sex." I couldn't hide my shock.
"To me she was my Genie-Us, and no other would ever be close to the pleasure that I would have with her."
I stopped moving and fully stared at Jene. Did I dare to ask my next question? My mouth went to speak, but I stalled. The last thing I wanted to do was to make him uncomfortable or embarrass him.
"When was your last time?" yep, the words escaped.
"Your conception of time to mine spent in the Realm differs," he avoided answering, so I raised my eyebrows and stared him down. "In Realm time, she went into the lava pits over two centuries ago." He finally admitted to me.
"You haven't had sex in that long?" my astonished voice echoed between us.
"We desire our Genie-Us, no other has appeal to us." He admitted.
"If I wasn't nervous before, I am now."
"I will not disappoint you." He vowed.
"I'm more worried about disappointing you."
I rubbed at my forehead and stared into space for a moment. Here I was about to have sex with a man who hadn't had sex since centuries before I was even born. It boggled my mind.
"Out of curiosity, does the whole magic carpet thing go the other way." I asked with sudden awareness that Jene had known no sexual pleasure for a terribly long time.
"I am unsure of what you mean." He frowned at me.
I can tell you that his frown didn't stick around for long. Once I dropped to my knees, undid his fly and pulled down his jeans, he appeared somewhere between astounded and overawed.
