“You like me on my knees,moya malenkaya koldunya?”
It takes every atom in my body not to smile from ear to ear. I bite down on my lip and nod.
“Don’t get used to it.”
“Bummer.” I frown.
I grab onto his shoulder as he puts the other heel on. He stands up, turns away from me, and walks toward the door.
“Let’s go.”
“Hmm, not just yet.”
“Sloane, I don’t have time for this.”
“I do.” I have all the time in the world right now.
“What do you need?”
I’m caught off-guard by his question. I think that’s the firstkindthing he’s said to me since I’ve been trapped here. “I want you to apologize to me,” I say.
“For what?” He looks confused.
He can’t be serious.
“For the stunt you pulled in the living room.”
His head falls back. “Forgive me, but which stunt are we talking about here exactly? When you came on my tongue or when you tried to leave me?”
He would bring that up, wouldn’t he?“The third, actually. When you tied me to a chair and threatened me with a hot knife.”
“I won’t apologize for that,” he says, shaking his head.
“Then I’m not going anywhere.”
“Jesus Christ, woman.” He walks up to me. “You madden me.”
“I could say the same!”
“Well, we won’t be going anywhere then. I’m not sorry for what happened. You pissed me off.”
“That doesn’t justify anything, Mikhail!”
He holds his finger up to me. “I never said my actions were justified.”
I’m taken aback. He crosses his arms, and I cross mine. We look ridiculous bickering like children, both too stubborn to let this go.
“I—”
“Yeah? You what?” he mocks, stepping toward me and picking me up off the ground.
“Stop it!” I pound on his back.
“I need to get to the meeting, and this seems like the only way.”
“Just apologize!”
“No. Unlike you ... I don’t lie. I’m not going to tell you what you want to hear just to get my way.”
