Or I will take you over my knee like a brat just as you deserve.

That’s what I wanted to say. Instead, I slowly dragged my eyes down her body, the glittery top, the obscenely short skirt, and her naked legs, surprisingly long for someone as tiny as her.

“Or I will lock you up.” I dragged my eyes back to her face, reveled in the fear I could see there. I’d wondered if the kidnapping in Italy had any residual effects on her.

Now I knew.

“So think carefully what you say next.”

She narrowed her eyes, then stuck out her tongue like the five-year-old brat she truly was.

And I had to bite down on mine to not burst out laughing.

But then the image of the guy touching her flashed through my mind. And the one from the monitor, when she’d danced with Moretti. A strange cold settled over me.

“Fee, Fee, Fee.” I narrowed my eyes, stared at her tongue, then leaned down until our noses almost touched.

She withdrew her tongue back between her sweet lips before I could take a bite.

“Do not underestimate me,” I growled, hovering over her lips with mine.

She stared into my eyes without blinking.

I stared back. “You think you’re playing with fire.”

I could feel and hear her sucking in a breath.

I leaned forward, laid my cheek against hers, then whispered into her ear, “But I’m a fucking inferno.”

I could feel her straighten.

But I wasn’t done.

I hovered my lips right above the crook of her neck, then bit down, marking her as mine. It wasn’t intended as a sexual act but merely to scare her straight.

But hell. Her reactions were beautiful.

She sighed, then softened. It was the closest thing to surrendering.

And the knowledge, the taste of her skin, and her scent were a heady mixture. One that could make me lose my mind.

Fuck.

I straightened, turned around, and without a look back, I walked straight out of my office and locked the door from the outside.

Time to teach the little mobster princess a lesson.

Resisting her allure was really the way to go.

Because what I wanted to do to my little princess, Fee, would go way beyond what my brother had in mind when he asked me to take care of her.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

It was as if Alex had hypnotized me. Or maybe paralyzed me?

I stared at his retreating back. Watched him cross the room and open the door.

Fuck.
