"What does it mean?" she could no longer keep herself from asking as they descended the stairs of her apartment.
"Nothing you'd like to know," he said smoothly, "for now at least."
"You just said that to drive me crazy, didn't you?"
"Does it?"
"You know it does," she growled.
"Good."
"No." And because she was just stubborn that way, she tried tugging her hand out of his hold again."It's not—-"
"I enjoy driving you crazy," Etienne murmured. "But if you do not like the way I'm doing it right now, then there are, of course, other ways..."
She caught his gaze flicking to her mouth. Oh no. "Actually," she said quickly, "I think I'm good with this."
Etienne's lips swiftly pressed together as he literally heard Spencer start gnashing her teeth, the sound of which oddly complemented the way her heart was pounding faster and harder against her chest.
If it had been any other woman, he would have dismissed these things as mere signs of lust. But because this was Spencer...
Could the other girl's words be true then?
Was Spencer truly in love with him?
But if she was...why had she chosen to sell her virginity instead of giving it to him?
Spencer noticed her boss suddenly start frowning. "What?"
"Have you ever had any lovers before me?" he asked abruptly.
Whoa! Spencer literally tripped over her own feet at the suddenness of his question. "Where did that come from?"
"Have you?"
"None of your business."
Dark eyes blazed at her. "You're my woman—-"
Don't get excited about that, Spencer! Don't!
"Everything about you is now my business."
A couple of possible comebacks to this immediately sprang to mind, but when she saw that they were about to step out of her apartment building, panic immediately kicked in, and she yanked him back. "Wait!"
Etienne stiffened, seeing the frantic expression on her face. "What is it?"
"The s-sunlight," she muttered jerkily. "Won't it...hurt?"
Ah.
He could see how hard she was struggling not to look concerned for him, but the haunted look in her eyes completely gave her away. And that was when he knew.
Spencer couldn't help feeling self-conscious about the way her boss was staring at her again. "Okay, fine, I'm concerned. But again, it's no big deal. Okay? I may be a bitch, but I'm not completely without feelings—-"
"Spencer."
"I just don't want you to go up in flames for no reason—-"
