He smiles and his eyes glow with humor.
”Anastasia, I have crossed so many lines here tonight. I have to go. I'll see you on Sunday. I'll have the revised contract ready for you, and then we can really start to play.”
”Play?” Holy s.h.i.+t. My heart leaps into my mouth.
”I'd like to do a scene with you. But I won't until you've signed, so I know you're ready.”
”Oh. So I could stretch this out, if I don't sign?”
He gazes at me a.s.sessing, and then his lips twitch into a smile.
”Well, I suppose you could, but I may crack under the strain.”
”CrackHow?” My inner G.o.ddess has woken and is paying attention.
He nods slowly, and then he grins, teasing.
”Could get really ugly.”
His grin is infectious.
”Ugly, how?”
”Oh you know, explosions, car chases, kidnapping, incarceration.”
”You'd kidnap me?”
”Oh yes,” he grins.
”Hold me against my will?” Jeez this is hot.
”Oh yes,” he nods. ”And then we're talking TPE 24/7.”
”You've lost me,” I breathe, my heart is pounding... is he serious?
”Total Power Exchange - round the clock.” His eyes are s.h.i.+ning, and I can feel his excitement from where I sit.
Holy s.h.i.+t.
”So you have no choice,” he says sardonically.
”Clearly.” I can't keep the sarcasm out of my voice as my eyes reach for the heavens.
”Oh, Anastasia Steele, did you just roll your eyes at me?”
c.r.a.p.
”No,” I squeak.
”I think you did. What did I say I'd do to you if you rolled your eyes at me again?”
s.h.i.+t. He sits down on the edge of the bed.
”Come here,” he says softly.
I blanch. Jeez... he's serious. I sit staring at him completely immobile.
