"Did I laugh? Are you sure about that? Your eyes are playing tricks on you. You must be so starving that you start seeing things." Edward reached out and smoothed her inky hair gently. In his arms, Daisy let her guard down and she looked more vulnerable and feminine. He loved this side of her as much as he loved the authoritative colonel in military uniform.
"And you're the one to blame. This is all your fault!" Daisy tilted her head back to glare at him. His words earned him a pinch on his waist. Even though she was angry, she didn't pinch him in full strength. She couldn't help worrying about him. If he got hurt, she would feel his pain.
"Oh, you're right. This is all my fault. How about I make it up to you by buying you dinner?" He hugged her tightly, his slender arms wrapped around her waist. He looked into her eyes and indulged himself in the soft touch of her warm body. It felt amazing. He was always so easily turned on by her.
"Huh! I have money. I don't need you to buy me dinner. I need clothes. Get me some clothes now." Edward tried to pinch the tip of her nose, but Daisy quickly evaded it. He liked teasing her like this. It always made her feel like she was a puppy. She refused to give him the satisfaction.
"So… you want clothes. Tell me, how are you going to reward me after you get them?" Flirting with her was something he could never get enough of. Edward enjoyed spending time with her. He especially liked teasing her.
"Damn it. That's enough. Do you have to bargain with me over everything? I'lI just walk out like this, I don't mind. I just hope you won't mind either." She scowled at him defiantly, fully aware that Edward couldn't bear the thought of her being dressed so revealingly in public.
"You're learning. You know all my weak spots and you know how to take advantage of them. Clever girl. I just fear that you will get arrested for going out like this, and I'll have to bail you out. That will be very embarrassing."
Edward never got bested easily. He was used to taking control of everything around him. Going down without a fight was not in his nature. He remained calm and collected as if her threat didn't work at all. But deep down, he was anxious. Although he definitely didn't want his wife to be seen like this, he just couldn't give in easily.
