“Why didn’t you do anything about it, sir?”
“Later, kitten. I still have to give you one more thing.” He opened the box and pulled out a chain. “Do you know what this is?”
“No.”
“It’s a leash. I need to keep you close to me tonight.”
“I…” I couldn’t say anything because there was a huge lump in my fucking throat. “Mr. Knox?”
“Is there something wrong?”
“I don’t think I want you to walk me inthaton the street.”
He sighed and shook his head.
“Why not?”
“It’s…It’s a leash. I’m not a dog.”
“No, you’re a brat, that’s what you are.” His brows were furrowed when he looked down on me. He hooked the leash to my collar and pulled me so close our noses were touching. “I’m well aware you are not a dog. That’s not my kink. I’m not taking you for a fucking walk in the park, Amelia, but I want to take you down into my kingdom. You’re either gonna wear the leash or I’ll take you up to the bedroom to tan your ass. Understood?”
I swallowed.
“Yes.”
“Say ‘yes, sir’”
“Yes, sir.”
“Fucking finally. Let’s go now.”
He walked me out, holding my hand in his very tight. His footsteps were heavy and his body was rigid and I didn’t like that. I wanted smiling Hunter back. We didn’t stop until we were in the garage and I was pushed into the passenger seat of a shiny Tesla. I watched with surprise as he walked around the car and jumped behind the wheel. I’d been in his house for a while now and never seen Hunter drive himself.
I watched him closely while he put his seatbelt on and he noticed.
“What?” He snapped. Why did he have to be such an asshole, and why did I have to be so attracted to him?
“Nothing. I’m just surprised to see you driving.”
“Well, I’m not drinking tonight and neither are you because I need you sober. I also didn’t want to parade you dressed like this in front of Raoul, wouldn’t you agree?”
“Yes.” He started the engine and we were ready to leave. “I’m sorry,” I said without thinking, and he looked at me with confusion.
“For what?”
“For whatever I did that made you so angry.” I threw my hands in the air exasperated. There was no winning with him. All Hunter said was that he wanted control and I seem to fail at whatever this thing between us was.
“Angry?”
“Yes, Hunter, angry. Everything I seem to do seems to piss you off. You heard me talk about your sister and you lost your head on me, you took me without a condom and accused me of giving you an STD—I got tested a few days ago, by the way, and I’m clean—and now you are mad because I’m not sure I want to walk into a club while you hold myleash.”
“Kitten, come here.” He spoke in the most calm, silky voice.
“Come where?”
“In my lap.” Obviously, Hunter wasn’t in any mood to wait, so I crawled over. “Don’t throw tantrums like this. You know better.”
“It wasn’t a tantrum, Hunter. I’m just…confused. I don’t know how to be this perfect woman that you want.”
