Until You Ask
He will not lay a hand on her until she asks for it. Out loud. In words. Every time. Enitan Sowande has drawn a decade of Manhattan—towers standing all over the city under other people's names, because she has never once asked for anything she could instead earn, engineer, or do without. So when the arrangement house Ardent matches her with Auden Kilbride, an exacting watch-house heir who can sit six hours over an escapement without moving, she signs his ninety-day terms certain she knows what she's buying, and then reads his one non-negotiable clause. She stages. She offers. She undresses. She spends three weeks building elaborate architecture around six small words, and Auden simply waits—unhurried, courteous, visibly wanting her and touching nothing—until the ache stops being about sex at all and becomes the discovery that her whole life is a machine built so nobody ever has to hear her want anything. She will learn to ask. Then she asks for the one thing the man who taught her has spent his whole life making sure he never has to say back.
