Maya might love him. And though he didn't properly know what love felt like, he might love her back. He would do anything to keep her happy. Wasn't that sufficient evidence that he had given in to the most dangerous type of sentimentality?

They headed to the home theater together and she snuggled up against his side as soon as the movie was on. It was slightly unexpected but he had basically given her the greenlight to do such things.

He could make time. She needed him right now and he wasn't about to let her down so quickly after saying he wouldn't. That would be counterproductive. He knew he wasn't the best husband but he needed to try and be better.

Vincent laughed again. "I'm aware of that, thanks. What can I say? You have that effect on me. I spent my whole life being rational until I met you. It's been quite an adjustment going to the irrational side."

"I can't give you what you want, Maya. I wish I could. I wish I was different but this is how I am. I can buy you anything…do whatever you ask of me…but I can't change the fact that I don't experience attraction.

"It's okay, Maya," Vincent continued. "I've got you. You're safe."

Trauma was a funny thing. You could suppress and suppress and suppress, thinking you were fine, and it would hit you like a wrecking ball out of nowhere.

That had been Vincent's intention from the start. He was glad it worked. Originally he thought that he would hook someone with a high-spending lifestyle but after finding out her debt wasn't her own doing aside from student loans, he had wanted her to get used to having her every whim taken care of.

Vincent ignored her and continued working. This was fine. He was fine. He carried on until he needed a coffee refill and some food because if he didn't get up soon, his legs would go numb from disuse.

Kaleb was determined to be her unborn baby's favorite uncle and that would be difficult if he was only around consistently for a few months out of the year. Nathan or even Logan could easily beat him out for that since they were both based in New York City these days.

Kings were essentially useless without their queens in chess. Historically speaking, there had been far too many wars, duels, and so on where women were the cause as well. Getting involved with one was one of the stupidest things a man could do and yet here he was.

She idly looked out the windows until she could see a land mass in the distance. They were nearly at the island. Anticipation fluttered in her stomach and she went back outside to get a better look.

It wasn't that big a deal considering they had done this before but she would have thought he wanted his privacy. The only time they had shared out of anything but necessity was the perplexing incident where he fell asleep on her while trying to comfort her mid-nightmare.

His eyes widened as if he couldn't fathom the idea of someone baking on their own and he grabbed one eagerly before shoving it in his mouth. She barely stifled her laughter. He did love his sweets but it was still funny seeing him come back to life because of some cookies.

"Right away, sir."
Urban · Mcllorycat
He was thoroughly chastised. Right. He needed to do better if he wanted to keep her happy and by his side. He had known that already and had still been too emotionally dense to realize what that would entail.

"Yep. What, are you chicken?"

Vincent had no doubt she would. That was the only reason he wasn't more annoyed he had to go to this in place of the robots that would handle everything else so they could go sightseeing.
