I raise my eyebrows. “Need some help?”
“Yes,” she presses out between gritted teeth.
“Say please.”
“Please.”
“Please, sir,” I coax.
Her eyes flash with fury and the promise of revenge as she screams, “I will fucking kill you!”
Freya shifts a little at the loudness of her voice.
A whimper spills from Kayla’s lips, and she presses herself farther into the corner.
“How are you going to do that when you’re about to be bitten by a venomous snake?” I reply, and lift one shoulder in a casual shrug.
Fear pulses in her eyes as she snaps her attention back to the snake. I suppress a laugh. Freya is a corn snake. She’s not venomous. But Kayla doesn’t need to know that.
“If I die, you won’t just lose your job,” she says as she adorably tries to threaten me. “My dad will fucking kill you.”
“Who says you’re going to die?”
“If I get bitten by a venomous snake, I will die, you idiot!”
“Nah. I’ll just suck the venom out of the wound.” With a sly smile on my lips, I make a show of raking my gaze over her body. “Better hope she doesn’t bite your inner thigh. Or your tit.”
A truly murderous expression descends on Kayla’s features like the shadow of death, and she glares at me with hellfire in her eyes. I grin back at her.
“Like I said, little demon,” I begin, keeping that wicked smile on my lips as I level a hard stare on her. “You give me shit, and I’ll give you shit.”
“You fucking son of a?—”
But the rest of her curse is cut off by another whimper as Freya moves on top of the bed again. Kayla edges impossibly farther into the corner.
“You want my help?” I taunt. “You know what to say.”
The muscles in her jaw flex as she grinds her teeth while glaring at me as if she’s imagining the sound I would make if she shoved a knife through my heart. But then Freya moves again, and the rage is replaced by fear as she glances towards the snake now occupying her bed. And then finally, resignation washes across her features.
Shifting her gaze back to me, she drags in a bracing breath.
“Please, sir,” she begs.
Smug victory pulses through me, and my cock throbs at the sound of those submissive words on her tongue.
I smirk as I hold her gaze. “Good girl.”
Her naked body trembles as a shudder rolls through her.
And I don’t think it’s out of fear or revulsion this time.

KAYLA
He’s not supposed to fight back. When I do annoying shit to them, all my other bodyguards have just taken it. They have gritted their teeth and endured it in stoic silence until they can’t take it anymore and finally quit. But Jace retaliates. He is not at all intimidated by my power and station as the Ashford heir. And I’m not sure how to feel about that.
Running a brush through my hair, I untangle the mess that it turned into when I slept. Morning sunlight filters in through the windows of my bedroom and illuminates the pale walls. From the other side of my closed door, I can hear Jace bustling around in the kitchen. Which is odd, since he normally always eats breakfast before I even get out of bed.
