Page 12 of The Rancher's Vengeful Heart

Tassy tried not to squirm in her seat...but failed.

"It's been two years since I last had sex—-"

W-What did he just say?

"But as soon as I laid my eyes on you, I already knew—-"

"S-Sir!"Tassy only realized she had inadvertently raised her voice when the few other travelers in the lounge turned their way, but tempted as she was to melt away in embarrassment—-

"Didn't I ask you to call me Lucius?"

She had no chance to do so, with the billionaire demanding her attention as he cupped her chin to turn her gaze back to his.

Did he not realize how everyone was now staring at them?

"Say it, Tassina."

Obviously not.

"Or I'm going to do something—-"

"Lucius!" Tassy couldn't get his name out fast enough, knowing that the billionaire wasn't the type to make idle threats—-

"Too late."

What?!

Lucius had her on his lap in the next moment, and one look at his gleaming dark eyes, and she realized that he had meant to do this all along, regardless of what she did.

Aaaaaargh!

"You look like you want to kill me—-"

Lucius waspurring.Tassy could freely admit this now...since his purr was obviously designed to annoy her even more.

"Or kiss me."

An offended gasp escaped her, but this only had him gazing at her thoughtfully.

"Both then? You want to kill and kiss me—-"

Oh God, why is this man so—-

GOD.

Oh my God!

Lucius had no idea what the sudden expression of shock on his Tassina's face meant. But one thing he was sure of was that it had to beveryinteresting.

Tassy couldn't believe she had completely forgotten the most important thing ever, and everything about Lucius thatdidn'tmake sense earlier...now made perfect sense completely.

I'm so sorry, God.

How could I have forgotten that I asked for a sign...

And Lucius Young was it?

When his Tassina looked at him again, it was with a smile that had him instantly and palpably hard, to the point that she herself was unable to ignore the evidence throbbing under her.
