(Like an Insect)

"Were you pleased?" he asks, afterward.

She is quick to offer praise, but what she doesn't do is tell him what he wants to know - namely, whether she got off. He suspects that she did not, and his suspicion is confirmed when her litany of compliments fails to include anything about her own pleasure.

Once it seems that she is finished speaking, he says, "But did you come?"

She won't lie to him; she knows he despises lies. Neither does she want to tell him the truth. Her silence is answer enough.

As eager as she was, she should have been easy to please... and seeing as he'd failed at it, then how bad at sex was he? Had all of his previous bed partners been just as ill-pleased and simply afraid to upset him by admitting so?

Such disturbing thoughts as these keep him awake long after he sends his current lover away.

Inspiration for this chapter is "Sehnsucht" by Rammstein. The full line from which the chapter title is derived is Sehnsucht versteckt sich wie ein Insekt. (Longing stings like an insect.)
