‘So’ Aiesha sent him a little smile ‘What e do in the meantime?’

His aze slipped to the swell of her breasts and back again ‘Do you ever think of anything else but sex?’

She gave hi me for, isn’t it?’

He snatched her wrist as the lift doors pinged open,her out like a captor with a prisoner ‘I’s We wouldn’t be in this situation if you hadn’t sent that first tweet, remember?’ He jerked his head to indicate for her to enter the penthouse

‘Aren’t you going to carry me over the threshold?’

‘Get inside’

She raised her chin ‘I want my own room’

‘I want you with me’

‘What if I don’t want to be with you?’

A nerve twitched in his jaw, his eyes blue-black ‘This is your room In here With me End of discussion’

Aiesha fought her agitation by redirecting it into anger She stabbed a finger at his chest, leaning her whole weight into it, but even so he didn’tto push over a tree trunk ‘You do not tell me where I will sleep Get it?’

He plucked her hand off his chest, holding it so firainst hi hers in a tense little lock ‘I knohat you’re up to, Aiesha You want me to lose my head To lose my temper and act like a moron, like you believe all men to be But it won’t work Push and defyto let you win You will stay with ht, no matter what’
