“Seriously, though,” Ivan says, grinning at me. “We''ll just forget about our lives for a couple of hours. Be two totally different
people. Leave it all behind. Hi, my name is Rodrigo,” he says, his smile growing as he holds out his hand to shake mine.
“Pleasure to meet you.”
|ugh at his stupid little game, shaking my head, hesitating. He reaches out and takes my hand, though, lifting and lowering our
sped fingers in a forced shake.
“Come on,” he whispers. “Try it.”
“Nice to meet you Rodrigo,” | murmur, flicking my eyes up to him, smirking a little.
“I''m a lion tamer,” he says, pitching his voice lower as he takes on his role. “I spend my days taming wild beasts and my nights...
taming wild women. And who are you?” he asks, holding my hand tight. “Come on, Fay,” he urges in a whisper, giving me a little
nudge with his shoulder when | hesitate. “You can be anyone.”
| tilt my head back, giving into it, my hair falling back over my shoulders as | look up into the sky and consider my options. “I’m
Sister Mary Alexander,” | say finally, smiling to myself as | decide. “I’m a Benedictine nun. | make fancy marzipan and sell it on
the streets of Austria to raise money for the orphans under my care.”
“Fay,” | hear lvan whisper, snapping me out of my imaginary wanderings and drawing my gaze immediately back to him. | blink in
surprise when | see a smile stretched across his face from cheek to cheek. “You''re so weird,” he says, shaking his head at me a

kid —“
“Oh, so did |,” lvan agrees eagerly, his words ovepping mine as he reaches out to grab me, pressing his hand against my
lower back, “you actually hit the nail on the head, Sister Mary —“ he mumurs, pulling my body closer to him so that I’mying t
on the lounge and he’s curved over me. “This is actually working for me —*
“What!?” | shout, aghast —ughing through my shock - | was going for the opposite of that — the least sexy thing | could think of
“Oh yeah,” Ivan nods, smirking down at me, moving the hand on my back to graze the side of my ass and move briskly down my
thigh, his fingers teasing at the edge of my skirt, “I went to Catholic school — I’ve been fantasizing about this for a long time —*
“What?!”
“Mmhmm,” he continues, “do you think you could say the rosary for a little bit, and like, look at me disapprovingly? Or, actually,
could you get a ruler and p me on the wrist — just a couple times -*
I''mughing so hard now that | can
