“We do.”

“Then, we'll think of something.”

Fear and anticipation coursed through my body.

“By the way, the things I said. . .” He let go of his cock and leaned my way. “I was serious about them. You're mine.”

I swallowed. “That's pretty possessive, Lei.”

“It is.”

“We talked about that.”

“We did.”

“You're the Mountain Master but you don't get to own me.”

Lei's gaze grew intense, penetrating through me, and that expression showed raw desire and something deeper, something. . .deadly. “And still you’re mine.”

“I'm a Friend of the Four Aces.”

“You are.”

“But, when I left you alone for these past days, you thought I didn't care about you. I wanted you to understand today that I do.”

“Saying that I'm yours and caring about me are two different things.”

“Is that right?”

“Yes.”

That smirk deepened. “Still. . .you're mine.”

I rolled my eyes. “Lei, we also need boundaries.”

He closed the small distance, leaning over the arm of his chair and placing his nose barely an inch from me. His long hair waved around him. “Why put boundaries there, when I'm just going to knock them down?”

“You're insane.”

His voice grew husky. “And you want to be my first? I'm already fucking trying to trap you to me.”

I widened my eyes. “It is possible to fuck someone and then be chill about it.”

He lowered back in his seat. “And you think it's possible for me to be chill when it comes to my having serious emotions for someone I desire?”

My mind went to his having Chanel’s body and even the handcuffs that he had put on my wrists.

“Well. . .no.” I shouldn't have but I laughed. It must have been another aftershock from the delirious orgasm.

Plus, what else could I do now? He had his plans to dominate me, and I would not stop making sure that he stayed in line and gave me proper respect.

This would have to be tabled for another day, especially when I had my personal guard and Dima as my advisor.

What am I going to do with his crazy ass?

The pilot interrupted, his voice filling the air, “We are now approaching the East, Mountain Master.”

I took a deep breath and turned to the window.
