“I can’t believe you remember that. It was a while ago.”
“Of course, I remember. At the time, I thought,she’s probably a good mother. And if she doesn’t have kids, she’ll make a good mother.”
Unlike the woman who raised him. Who’d never had time to make silly faces or joke with him because she hadn’t been able to stand the sight of him.
“No wonder you kept saying I’d make a good mom,” she mused, shaking her head.
“When did I say that, other than just now?”
“Earlier, when you were drunk as a skunk.”
Oh, right.The only reason she’d been able to tie him up was because, in his drunken state, he’d fallen down.
“What did you do to me while I was drunk?” Raz demanded.
“Don’t worry, princess,” she answered. “I didn’t deflower you.”
“I’m no virgin,princess. Your pussy knows that,” he sneered, still trying to work the rope loose.
“I wasn’t talking about your dick. I was talking about your butt. I didn’t touch it.” She winked. “Or did I? Do you feel sore back there?”
He tensed.
She chuckled. “Don’t worry. Your butt is still a virgin.”
She went back to reading what was in front of her. The rope was beginning to loosen. To distract her, he continued asking her questions.
“Are you going to untie me or not, Rosa?”
“Knot, Orazio. And it’s theknotwith theK. Get it?” She giggled.
“Why are you suddenly in a good mood?”
Given the situation, her joy was scary.
“Because I’ve finally accepted my fate. I’m yours, Orazio. I belong to you.”
Something stirred inside him when he heard those words. He stopped trying to work the rope loose.
“Are you really willing to belong to me?”
She nodded. “Of course. I’m all in.”
“Then why did you tie me up?” He was confused.
“Since I’m trapped here, I guess we’ll be trapped together. We’re a team now. What happens to one, happens to the other.”
This motherfucker.“Untie me now.”
“I can’t. I need you here with me at all times.”
“Now, Rosa!”
She shook her head. “I signed the contract. It’s on the table.”
She reached across the table and grabbed it. Turning in her chair to face him, she shoved the contract in his face until it was touching his nose.
“You know I can’t fucking read that.”
