“Freaking out? It’s not that dark anymore.”
“But there’s a thunderstorm.”
“You don’t like thunder?” he asked.
“Why would I like thunder? Please tell me what your favorite ice cream flavor is.”
“Vanilla.”
She groaned. “Can you please answer truthfully? What if I went to buy you an ice cream, and I got you vanilla?”
“Then I would be happy? Because I had my favorite flavor of ice cream?”
“No one’s favorite flavor is vanilla. You have to choose something else.”
“Why?” he asked.
“I don’t know! It’s just the rule.”
“The whole topic is moot since I’d never send you out to get me ice cream.”
“The Prince of Darkness doesn’t eat ice cream, huh?” she grumbled. “Hard to believe that vanilla ice cream is what they serve in hell. I’m certain Satan’s favorite ice cream is way more interesting. Like rum raisin, or strawberry cheesecake, or dulce de leche. Yeah, the Devil definitely likes a bit of dulce de leche.”
“Do you think I come from Hell?”
“Um. No.” Drat.
“I cannot believe we are having this conversation,” he muttered.
“I can’t believe you love vanilla ice cream.”
“I didn’t say I loved it. I said it was my favorite.”
“Isn’t that the same thing?” she asked.
“No, because I don’t really like ice cream. Vanilla is just the least offensive of them all.”
Faith gasped. “What kind of monster doesn’t like ice cream?”
He just shot her a look. “You’re getting very sassy for someone who likes to sit comfortably.”
Huh?
Wait. Was he saying . . . ?
“Hey! You can’t spank me!” What the heck?
“Why not?”
“Um, because I’m your employee and that’s harassment.”
“And what if I decide that you’re no longer my employee?” he asked smoothly.
“You . . . you can’t do that. Are you firing me? I need this job. Is this about me messing up your calendar yesterday? I won’t touch it ever again. I swear.”
“Easy, Blossom,” he soothed. Leaning over, he placed his hand on the back of her neck. “Stop panicking.”
Right. Because she could just stop panicking because he told her to. Contrary to what he seemed to believe, her body wouldn’t just instantly obey him.
