“You’re making it easy for me to hate you, Zander.”

“Am I? You know they say angry sex is the best kind. Want to test the theory?”

“I wouldn’t sleep with you again if someone paid me to.”

“That could be arranged. I’m loaded.”

“I think you should go, Zander, now before you walk out with one less testicle than you arrived with.” Her eyes sparked.

At that, I laughed. “There you go. Thinking about my cock again.”

Her face turned several shades of red before she pointed at the door and shouted, “Out!”

I couldn’t keep the grin off of my lips. I was having way too much fun with her.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to tuck you in before I leave?”

“I’m positive I’ve never wanted something less.”

“You’re lucky that cute little nose of yours doesn’t grow when you lie.”

“And you’re lucky I haven’t made good on my threat. Now, leave, Mr. Hale.”

I smirked, feeling my cheeks ache. I loved the little cat and mouse game she was trying to play. The only problem was, I was no fucking cat.

I was a lion.
