Andboommy hormones went all aflutter.

I grabbed his shoulder, melting into him. Every flick of his tongue made me hungrier for him. The kiss was lazy, deep, and a promise of more. So I couldn’t help but frown when he pulled back. “Pussytease.”

His brows flew up, and his lips curved. “I wasn’t teasing. I was indulging.”

“But then you stopped,” I snippily pointed out. “You need to indulge some more. Get to it.”

He slipped his hand around my throat in a very dominant move. “Since when,” he began, his tone low and a little dark, “do you get to fire orders at me?”

Fuck, he was going to make me wait longer now. I sniffed. “Pull me on it if you want, but we both know you like it that I dare get pushy and bossy with you sometimes.”

“It is refreshing,” he admitted. “People generally fear me. You don’t. Why?”

“I actually don’t know.” I’d never once felt in danger around him. Not even in the very beginning, when he wasa relative stranger. He’d made me nervous as awoman, had rattled my hormones, but that was all.

In truth, he still rattled them. Still made my nerves edgy. But it was agoodkind of edgy. The kind that added a spice of excitement in the bedroom.

“You never have to fear me.” Loosening his grip on my neck, he trailed his fingertips down the column of my throat. “I would never harm you.”

“I believe you. Hence why I didn’t get worried by your threat to blister my ass if I went my own way again.”

His gaze fixed on mine, hard and intent. “I fucking meant it. I will spank your ass raw if you even try it.”

“Does that mean you also meant it when you said you missed me?”

“Yeah.”

“You don’t sound happy about it.”

“It was fucking irritating.”

My lips quirked. “I missed you, too.”

He gave me a dark look. “I find that hard to believe, considering you blocked my number. Twice.”

I felt my brows draw together. “You tried calling me again?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“I wanted to hear your voice. Wanted you to think of me.” He dug his teeth hard into my bottom lip. “I wasn’t gonna make it easy for you to forget me.”

“You are not an easy person to forget.”

His eyes narrowed. “I’d say you ignored my existence just fine or you wouldn’t have managed to block my number.”

We were still on that? I sighed. “Call it a matter of self-preservation. I didn’t think it would bother you. I wasn’t sure you’d even notice.”

“I noticed.” A smug glint entered his eyes. “Got you to unblock it the first time, though, didn’t I?”

“Oh, is that the real reason you sent me the perfume? You thought it might make me contact you?”

He grunted. “Worked, didn’t it?”

“Smug bastard. And here I thought you’d move on pretty quickly and find yourself a new club-buddy.”

“I wasn’t interested in anyone but you. I haven’t been to the Vault since the night you told me our arrangement was over. I’d have showed up if Duke had reported that you were on your way there. No way was I going to let another man touch you.” He tucked my hair behind my ear. “All I’d have had to do is stay reasonably close to you. None would have dared go near you.”
