"Well, if you're going to suggest friends with benefits..." He holds his hand up in the air in front of my face andstops memid-speech.
"I'm not going to suggest anything even remotely resembling a friend. You tookvowsto me. And I would hope that you would know what that means."
"Why don't you tell me what that means,darling?" Ibatmy eyelashes at him.
Leaning back, he glares at me. "It means you do whatIsay. It means you are toobeyme. Remember thosevowsthat you just took?The only partthat's bullshitis the love. I absolutely expect you to honor and obey me.In turn, I'll make sure you have whatever the hell it is you need."
