I'm the master.

Maeve might have won this conversation, but I'll be on my toes around her from now on. So she better be prepared.

My father declares, "Sounds like you're good with this marriage, then?"

Maeve nods, her eyes widening with innocence. "Oh, of course I am, Tully. I'm so happy to be part of your family."

My father smiles. "We're happy to have ya."

"Thank you."

He gives me one more you're fucked expression, then he announces, "Glad we cleared this matter up. Let's go eat lunch, the others are waiting." He grins and leaves the room.

I lean into Maeve's ear and murmur, "Game on, wifey."

Her body stiffens for a brief moment, then relaxes. She purses her lips, returning my challenging stare, then replies, "Noted, my dear hubby."

Maeve

Tynan leads me through several hallways and then steers me into a room. He flips on the switch.

My eyes adjust, and I ask, "Why are we in the bathroom?"

He shuts the door. His mouth curves into a sinister smile, and tingles race down my body. He crosses his arms over his chest and orders, "Take off your panties."

"Excuse me?"

"I said take off your panties."

"I'm not taking off my panties."

He grunts. "Sure ya are."

"No, I'm not."

He arches his eyebrows. "Okay. I guess I'll tell my dad I'm not covering your da's debts."

"Ya wouldn't," I challenge.

He peers at me closer, threatening, "Wouldn't I?"

My heart races faster. I probably shouldn't have done what I did with his da, but it seemed only fair. Plus, I need to ensure my da stays safe since I won't be there to bail him out of his messes.

"Time's a ticking, princess. What are ya going to do?" he challenges.

I continue staring at him.

He shrugs. "Okay. No answer is an answer." He turns for the door.

"Wait," I call out.

He freezes, then turns back to me. An arrogant expression fills his face. He's got me cornered and knows it.

I shake my head. "You're such an asshole."

"Tell me something I don't know, dear wifey."
