"Why are you pinching me, Alessandra?" Edgar asked as he felt her digging into his skin.
"You were going to wait until I was asleep and do something, weren't you? Keeping something from me is just as bad as lying to me. I would rather hear what you plan to do than wake up to the news of it. You deserve a good pinch," she said, doing it one more time. It felt good when she got to attack him like this.
"When are you going to admit you enjoy a bit of pain? Specifically harming me. I do not mind if you want to add it to our time in bed."
"Edgar, why are you like this?" Alessandra asked, stepping out of his hold before anything could happen.
"Like what? Perfect? I recall I am not the only one who enjoyed last night and you were the one who moaned so lovely whenever I was rough with you. I am simply looking for ways to make you enjoy it more and pain seems to be something you like. There is no need to be shame in front of your husband," said Edgar.
