“About you sleeping in the bed,” he reminded her. “I don’t want to hear any more about it. I’m going to shower, and you better be in this bed when I come out. If you’re not, I will spank your ass until it’s hard for you to sit tomorrow.”
She narrowed her eyes. “You wouldn’t dare.”
One of his brows lifted, and he smirked. “You really think I wouldn’t do it?”
“How do you expect me to sleep with you after meeting you an hour ago?”
He grinned. “Seriously, there are arranged marriages in our world, and the bride and groom don’t meet until they’re at the altar. Do you think they fuck that same night?”
“You’re an asshole.”
“I can do this all night, pet.”
Fuck. “Fine. I’ll stay in bed. Get off me.”
After pressing against her aching clit one more time, he rolled off her. “I won’t be long.”
Damn, she wanted to throw something at him. When she heard the bathroom door close, she raced to get her knife, put it back in the sheath, and then jumped into bed. She rolled until her back was to the bathroom and waited.
