“Of course, Your Highness.” Vikki curtsies and shuffles out the door.
“Vikki,” I hiss, staring after her. She arches her brows and shrugs as if to say sorry, but doesn’t slow her exit. Traitor.
I lift my eyes to the Prince’s, who’s still wearing that insolent smirk. He jerks his chin at my new clothing. “I see you’ve learned from past mistakes.”
“Are you disappointed you won’t get to undress me this time?”
“Never say never.” His eyes flash and heat rips through my core. Damn him and his amber eyes. Damn his sexy smirk. Damn his broad body that looks like it would feel a bit too good pressed on top of mine.
And most of all, damn my own body for betraying me. This man is hot and cold. He tortures me with his presence, then teases me with his absence. He’s here to hide away from tough memories and using me as a punching bag for his emotional immaturity.
A coward, and an arrogant one at that. Winning combination.
I definitely shouldn’t be feeling hot and bothered by him. My nipples shouldn’t be tightening to stiff peaks beneath the multitude of layers I’m wearing. My underwear shouldn’t be clinging to the space between my legs, already damp with arousal.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I pinch my lips together, taking a step forward. Chief lifts his head, trotting over to nuzzle against me. I kneel down, scratching the fur behind his ears. “At least you’ll be coming with us, Chief. I like your company.”
The dog huffs, nudging my legs with his snout. I glance up to see the Prince staring at the two of us, half-insulted, half-amused.
I stand, nodding. “Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s go.”
“You didn’t get much etiquette training, did you?” His grin widens.
“I think respect is earned, Your Highness.” I spit the words.
“You might as well call me Wolfe if you’re going to say my title like an insult every time.”
“That would imply a level of amiability between us, and I don’t like to lie.” I give him a saccharine smile. “Your Highness.”
