Alaric's reaction was not at all what I had expected.
As soon as those words left my mouth, he threw off the blanket, stood up completely naked, and began pacing back and forth across the hardwood floor.
He ran both hands through his messy blonde hair, his face pale and his chest heaving as if he had just finished a grueling forty-lap stint.
I leaned back against the headboard, watching his frantic movements with a light, teasing smile. "Why do you keep pacing around like that?" I asked, giving him a playful, questioning look. "Do you want another round, Alaric? Is that why you're walking around naked, trying to seduce me?"
Alaric froze mid-step. He slowly turned his head toward me and cast me a furious glare.
"Do you have any idea what you are saying right now?!" he shouted, his voice echoing off the bedroom walls.
Alright. That was definitely not the reaction I expected either.
