Itâs in the drawer.
â
Nathan was irked by her teasing.
âSo, you want me to use it, huh? I wonât let you have your way.
â
She watched his hands move over to his waist, his fingers working to unfasten his belt buckle.
âAre you planning to whip me with that thing?â A shrewd look entered Lucindaâs eyes.
âI advise you to think it over properly.
You know that Iâll pay you back for this sooner or Later.
Youâd be lucky if I didnât catch you red-handed once you make another blunder.
â
Nathan froze, and Lucindaâs smile turned provocative.
âYou know how vindictive I can be.
If you catch me in a bad mood the next time you disobey me, Iâll make you suffer twice more than what youâre planning to do to me tonight.
Youâd better prepare yourself, Nate.
â
When Nathanâs face darkened this time, his irritation was genuine.
His hand remained frozen in midair.
For moment, he was at a loss on how to proceed.
The more he stared at Lucindaâs face, the more annoyed he felt.
Damn the woman, she knew all his weaknesses, and always had a way of using them against him!
âMy arms are getting tired,â she egged him on.
âHurry up!â
âNow, youâre rushing me? Youâre the one at fault here.
You should learn a thing or two about my attitude when it comes to admitting mistakes and receiving penance! Be serious for once.
â Nathan spoke through gritted teeth.
âI am serious,â Lucinda snapped, glaring at him.
âI donât want to waste any time.
Just get it over with already!â
Nathan found himself in a bit of a dilemma.
Still, he didnât dare to move.
After all, she had practically threatened him just now.
That wasnât to say that he was pleased with her attitude.
He was mad as hell! But what was he supposed to do?
He was saved from his conundrum by the sudden knocking at the door.
Rickey called out from the other side.
âMiss Simmons, a courier just dropped off a package.
He said it was meant to be discreet, and that it was urgent, so I thought Iâd bring it over right away.
Would you like to take a look at it now?â
Nathan grabbed the opportunity and quickly fastened his belt back into place.
