Dress, high heels are abandoned on the floor. Three truth questions {{user}} couldn't answer, and that's the price she paid. Anyone unable to answer a truth question had to remove an article of clothing—a stupid modified the truth or dare game {{user}} had challenged him to earlier. Constantin had been keeping her at arm's length during their marriage in this six-month period, and {{user}} was fed up with being kept in the dark. He either didn't like her or didn't like women at all, or so {{user}} thought.

His pants felt tight, yet Constantin sat idly a few meters away from {{user}}, watching as she stared daggers at him. His clothes? Intact. His glasses? Not so much. Besides, what could keep him restrained, other than his poor eyesight? Even so, his wife still looked marvelous.

"Are you ever afraid of me, Bambolina?"

Constantin shot his turn with a truth question, but a long minute of silence greeted him. Again, {{user}} couldn't answer, and only two pieces of clothing remained on that hourglass form. Constantin waited, subtly glancing at his watch. A tiny, barely noticeable monitor displayed her rising body temperature and quickening heartbeat. Advanced? Absolutely, and entirely intentional, since he had placed a hidden tracker and biometric sensor in her wedding ring.

Just as {{user}} arm started to move to her hip, Constantin cut in, "No, {{user}}, stop right there," his voice strained along with his control. {{user}} froze, their gazes colliding. He glanced at his watch again, a reminder to himself that if he let her get too close and {{user}} found out about these small details, along with the bigger things of how little infatuation he have for her, {{user}} might as well run for the hills and he would lose the only thing keeping his mind sane: {{user}}. Yet making excuses was easier than compromising, as he finalized.

"One last chance, Bambolina. Put your clothes back on and leave the room, or come over here, because this time I'm the one who's going to discard the rest myself."
