"As long as I want to," Ember said cheerfully.
"Damn you."
"Is that Huznan for'I love you'?"
"It's fucking English for 'damn you'."
"I love you, too."
Ilyas was torn between wanting to strangle and kiss her.
Ember stole a look at the demon prince's face.
Oops.
She saw right away that his need to fuck had won over his need to strangle her, and Ember knew she had to do something drastic in the next three seconds. That was all it usually took for the sheikh to seduce the common sense out of her, and as Ilyas slowly bent his head—-
Ember fluttered her lashes up at him, and the demon prince immediately reared back as if she had suddenly developed a serious case of halitosis.
"Stop that," Ilyas growled.
"Stop what? This?" She fluttered her lashes at him again, and an expression of distaste crossed the sheikh's handsome face.
"I know what you're doing, damn you."
She looked at him in innocent confusion. "What do you mean?"
"You're trying to turn me off—-"
"Is it working then?"
His lips tightened.
She fluttered her lashes again, but this time she did so as if aiming for the Guiness' world record for the highest number of flutters in one minute.
Ilyas blanched at the hideous sight."Enough."
"Only if you promise you won't try to seduce me into publicly admitting I'm your girlfriend."
"You—-"
She started fluttering her lashes again.
"Alright, damn you, I give you my fucking word, so will you just fucking stop?"
Ember could no longer help it, but just as a bubble of laughter spilled past her lips, someone suddenly captured her hand from behind, and the next thing she knew, she was being spun around and having her knuckles kissed.
Adam released her hand before Ilyas could shove him off. "Hello, Ms. Hallman."
Ember could only laugh. "Hello, Dr. Al-Masri."
"Goddammit, Adam." But this time, the sheikh's tone was merely exasperated. "Will you just find yourself another woman?"
Adam flashed his cousin a sly grin. "Why do you think I haven't already found her?"
Ilyas raised a brow at Ember, and since she could read him like a book, she quickly extricated her fingers from Adam's hold and took her usual place by the demon prince's side.
Ilyas' lips curved in a silky smile. "You were saying?"
