He closes his eyes, and I peer at his features. That hard countenance, the hooked nose that caps the surprisingly pouty lower lip, and I am familiar with how that tastes.

"I suggest you get some sleep."

"And round two?"

He opens one eye, "I’m beginning to think you can’t get enough of me."

Jerk.I scramble back, then pull the covers up to my chin.

Close my eyes, try to sleep. Turn on my side. Wriggle my feet, then turn over on my back. Dammit, now I have an itch on my back. I shift my hips, arch my spine, try to reach the spot which is below my nape.

"What are you doing?" He grumbles.

"Trying to scratch an itch, you mind?”

"I can do that for you—"

"Not that kind." I huff.

"You used to have a kitten?"

His actions stop for a second, then he continues his strokes.

"It doesn’t matter."

"Of course, it would only humanize the bad-tempered alphahole if you were to share something of his personal life, huh?"

"Exactly."

Getting this man to talk about himself is like... trying to find a seat on the tube during rush hour. "Soo... Amadeus huh?"

He caresses his big palm up my spine and I arch into his touch.

"Is there a story there?"
