“Go to sleep,” I tell her, turning away. I’m gonna make sure everything is locked up tight and do a quick check of my lair for any trouble. I don’t trust Fang not to come sniffing around, and he’s not the only pack member who might think there’s a better way to solve the Marly issue than voting.
“God, you’re confusing.” Stuff rustles as she settles in, though.
“I’m not safe for you,” I growl and finish my scan of the room. Her pile of abandoned clothes on my floor catches my eye- another pair of tiny, silky panties, jeans, more lace. Yeah, I need to go.
When I get to the door, she fires her parting shot. “Is this like Princess Bride?”
Do I look like I watch movies with the word princess in the title?
“Explain or go to sleep.” I should keep on walking right out the door, but I can’t help savoring the moment. She’s sleepy and flushed and feeling good – thanks to me.
“Good night, sleep tight, I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” The words come out throaty, flirtatious. Maybe I should watch the fucking movie.
“Is it the princess or the bride doing the killing?”
I hear her shake her head. “Her pirate prince.”
Uh-huh. I can’t hold back the slow smile. These kinds of standards may explain why she hasn’t run screaming from me. “Some fucking hero.”
“Yeah,” she says, way too happily. “He kills ginormous monster rats and comes back from the dead for the princess.”
“Go to sleep,” I repeat, hoping the third time’s the charm. I’m no fucking hero, although I’d definitely kill for her.
