“I told you not to fucking call me Maddy,” she snaps at him, suddenly animated.
“Mad Elena?” I ask, looking from him to her.
“It’s nothing,” she says, neck and cheeks flushing red. She’s embarrassed and unable to hold my gaze. She takes a step toward the door, but I block her path.
“I told you I’d be with you in a minute,” I say, lifting her chin with one finger to make her look at me. I search her face, studying it. She’s wearing a shit ton of makeup, and I get the feeling it’s armor. Protection. “You don’t need all this,” I say, though I don’t know why.
She blinks, the whites of her eyes pink and damp.
“I’m going to go,” the idiot boy says, interrupting again.
“You’re a fucking nuisance,” I tell him, gesturing to one of my men to keep him where he is as I turn back to Madelena. “You sure he didn’t hurt you?”
“I can handle myself.”
“Clearly.”
She sidesteps to get around me, but I block her path.
“Let me go,” she says.
“Do you remember what I told you the night we signed the contract?”
She bites her lip, and the act draws my attention. Little white teeth against dark red lips. It takes me a minute to drag my gaze back to her eyes.
Gold, like a fucking wildcat.
“Do you remember, Little Kitty?”
Her forehead creases. She licks her lips, clears her throat, then nods.
“Tell me. Say the words.”
She blinks, looks over my shoulder either at the idiot boy or my soldiers, then back at me.
“Say them.”
“I belong to you.”
“And?”
“Not to forget it.”
“So you didn’t forget. You just chose to disobey.”
There’s that biting of her lip again, and I see how her hands turn to tight little fists at her sides.
“Your friend here—” I start.
“He’s not my friend,” she cuts me off.
“Glad to hear it. He’s going to be punished for touching what’s mine. But that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.” I step closer to her, my gaze sweeping over the swell of her breasts.
Idiot boy makes a squeaking sound. Neither of us bother to look.
Madelena licks her lips, that flush back in her cheeks. I get the feeling it’s for a different reason than moments ago, though.
“Tell me how I should punish you,” I say darkly, the question more seductive than I intended when I walked in here.
