“Yeah, tell that to your girlfriend” Connor swore under his breath and I turned to face him.

Goddess, he was so tall that even with me standing straight, I barely reached his shoulder. I placed my hands on my hips, frowning at him.

“What the hell was that?” I asked, trying and completely failing to be intimidating.

He raised a hand instead and ruffled my hair.

“Me looking after you?” He replied with another question and I swatted his hand away, smoothing my hair down.

“You know what I mean” I frowned and he tilted his head to the side just a little.

“Do I?”

“Mhmm, there’s no need to bait Aaron like that. You know how to get under his skin easily and use it to your advantage.”

“Shocking, isn’t it?”

I curled my hands into fists and hit him on the shoulder but that just made me feel all the pain because those muscles were made of steel or something.

“Stop it”

He only snorted that angered me enough to start raining blows on him. He didn’t try to stop me or shield himself either but just looked at me with wounded eyes.

“I just spent a night in the hospital and you are already trying to send me back there. How rude!”

“No…I” I was panting now, my fingers starting to burn a little due to continuously hitting him.

“Ow” I winced when I couldn’t anymore. “What do you eat for lunch? Rocks?”

A corner of his mouth twitched. “Healthy and boring stuff. You should try it too”

“No way,” I replied, waving that black card in front of his face and sticking my tongue out. “You’re asking me to eat green leafy stuff when my boyfriend gave me a magic lamp?”

His face suddenly went all hot and bothered. “Say that again”

His voice also dipped a little, making me pause and second guess myself.

“Why did your tone suddenly change?” I gulped.

“Repeat it, Sia” He straightened fully now, towering above me and I forgot what I was saying.

“I…uh…”

Why the fuck did he have such an effect on me?

I wanted to give him a piece of mind about the way he baited Aaron and also about our conversation earlier about his chances at succession being affected because of me and now here I was…melting just at the slight shift of his voice.

Stupid wolf and stupid meds!

Connor took a step forward and I took a step back and we continued that little dance for a few more steps until there was no space left for me as I hit a wall.

My back collided with the solid wall behind me and Connor loomed over me. And if that was not enough, he raised his hand to place it above my head, leaning forward but not really touching me.

“What did you just call me?”

“M–my boyfriend” I blinked furiously and the answer pleased him because his mouth curved into a smile.

Then his other hand came up slowly to pat my cheek with his fingers.

“Good girl”

I snuck out of that little corner before I did something stupid and breathed in a few times before even daring to open my mouth.

Connor didn’t reach for me again, he simply turned around, let his back rest on the wall and kept looking at

1. me.

My cheeks turned red so I just pretended to fish something in my purse and thrust the card he gave me.

“By the way, I am never returning this”

“Never want you to….” came his reply, “…girlfriend”

I turned around because I didn’t trust my body to behave and quickly ran out of the living room.

“See you later”

I had taken a step forward when his hand gently grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, slamming me on his chest again.

“What…are you doing?”

He pulled out something from his pocket without breaking eye contact, opened my palm and placed something on it again.

“A key? To what?”

He closed my fingers around it. “Since you are so elated to spend my money, you might as well look the part”

I stared at him in confusion.

“What do you mean?”

“This key is to a little glass locker in the garage next to the driveway. Pick whatever you like”

I looked from the key back to him. “You are joking”

But he shook his head. “I am not.

I chuckled despite myself and still held the key in my hand. “Its not my birthday and you are showering me with gifts”

He smiled. “Yeah, think of it as late gifts for all the ones I missed. Or think of it as a bribe to ensure you never leave this arrangement midway”

Fuck, that simple line and the easy way he said it made something twist in my stomach.

“Connor. I don’t…”

But he had already straightened and gently slapped my ass as he walked away with that annoyingly smug smile of his.

“Now go have fun while I drown in work to give you more money to spend”

I tried calling out to him but he was already walking towards the stairs leading to the office upstairs and I just kept staring at his retreating figure until he disappeared from my view.

A ping on my phone brought me back to the present.
