EXERPT 2
“What are you
doing in here?” She pulled the sheets all around her, tucking them beneath
her weight. The woman acted like
a bloody virgin!
He stood taller
and tugged at the hem of his coat. “I’m here with an intention to make you
an agreement.”
“Great. Another
proposal. I’m afraid to ask,” she mumbled, the distrust in her eyes clearly visible,
even in the dimly-lit chamber.
Upon hearing the
languid reply, the corners of his mouth curved upward. Ah, yes, another
proposal. “If you swear on your
father’s grave—”
Ally gasped. Her
mouth opened as wide as her eyes.
He shifted his
weight uncomfortably at the sight of her horrified face. He’d
never been any good at
communicating with women. “If you give me your word that you’d not
defy me in front of my servants,
I will let you out of this chamber…within boundaries.”
She nodded
rather feverishly.
“Now, not so
fast. At least look as if you mean it.”
Losing the
rigidness in her spine, Ally cocked her head to the side. “I do mean it.”
Michael liked
the childlike look on her face: the wide, innocent eyes, the small crease that appeared
between her perfectly arched brows, and the slight pout of her bottom lip.
“Give me your word,” he said, only because he wanted to look at her a while
longer.
Ally sat up, the
sheets falling around her waist, forgotten. “I give you my word. I won’t
defy you in front of anyone.”
Willing his eyes
to stay on her face, instead of descending lower, he said tightly, “Good.”
“Unless we’re
alone.” Her eyes were bright with mischief.
He grinned at that. “Of
course, imp.”
