I swallowed a lump in my throat. I hated how right he was... I knew that world was something I wanted no part in... yet, I...!
"Then there's no reason to tell me how your private business went because it's none of my—" I sucked in breath when he yanked me closer, my skirt rolling all the way up until I was almost half naked.
He released the lace, and a sharp slap covered the space, a sting shooting through me. That's gonna leave a mark!
"I know how stubborn you can be, babydoll."
Babydoll. That particular name had a strong effect. I get flashes, and I don't mean holy flashes, the kind when I'm at his complete mercy, and he could do anything he wanted to me.
I tensed further when his hand wrapped around my throat, keeping me completely still, his authority radiating all over him, and I shrank.
"I don't want you involved. Am I clear?"
Fuck Catherine, what is wrong with you? I can't stop myself from melting.
I was far from being intimidated, but I do admit I'm a tad bit scared.
