“Oh yeah? What happened to selling it for a million dollars?” I lean against the doorframe, crossing my arms. She’s testing my control and knows damn well she’s pissing me off.
“Why? You gonna bid on it?”
Bidding is what got me into this fucking mess. But hell if I wouldn’t outbid every motherfucker out there to keep her as mine.
“Go to bed, Maddie.” I open the door. “Think you can keep your virginity for the next eight hours or do I have to plant a chair outside your door to make sure you stay put?”
“Keep it for you or from you?”
I sigh. “Good night, pain in the ass.”
After I shut the door, I lean against the wood until I catch my breath.
I swear she’s trying to kill me along with every ounce of willpower I’ve held on to since I met her.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
MADDIE
Liam
Got a lead on a fugitive and had to head out early. I would’ve locked you in your room and threw away the key, but decided against it since I didn’t want to come home to your wrath. Think you can handle yourself until I get back?
Turning on the shower,I smirk as I read the text message Liam sent five hours ago. After our encounter last night, I’m not sure what to think, but I also really enjoy this macho side of him.
Maddie
Arrogant, much? And screw you!
I also really enjoy messing with him.
Liam
Well good morning, my ray of sunshine.
Maddie
Thought it was pain in the ass? Did I get a nickname upgrade?
Liam
Only when you’re a good girl. So, be nice, and I’ll bring you a tasty biscuit.
Maddie
I am not a dog! What’s wrong with you?
Liam
Too bad. I really like doggy style.
Maddie
You’re an asshole, and I hate you.
Liam
Oh come on. I’m just messing with you. I’m running on two hours of sleep and this motherfucker is pissing me off. So just humor me.
