The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 599

"Shameless!" Suzie hissed, struggling against his iron-like grip.

Jamie's lips curved into a dark, satisfied smile. "Lying in my arms and cursing at me... it feels just like flirting. I love it."

"You—"

"I'm here. I'm right here. Whenever you need me, I will always be here. Go to sleep. You'll sleep better in my arms. Once you're asleep, I'll leave."

Ignoring the utter fury on her face, he pressed his chin against the top of her head and began gently rubbing her back, coaxing her exactly as one would comfort a restless child.

Suzie wanted to bite his shoulder, but she couldn't move her arms. Lowering her head, her face landed right against his solid chest. Without hesitation, she clamped her teeth down hard on his pectoral muscle.

Jamie let out a sharp hiss of pain, but his voice remained incredibly soft.

"I know you hate me. You can bite me every single day if it makes you feel better. Until all your anger is gone."

Suzie was dumbfounded.

Just how entirely unhinged and shameless could this man be?!

She released her bite, her voice trembling with sheer outrage. "Let go of me!"

"No."

"Let me go!"

"Not even if I die."

"..."

No matter how hard she fought or how viciously she cursed at him, he held her tighter, eventually throwing one of his long legs over hers to trap her completely.

"If you refuse to sleep, I'm staying the entire night. I'll wake up with you tomorrow and help you take the kids to school."

Hearing that, Suzie felt a cold wave of dread.
