the glimmer in his eyes and the tilt of his lips, she knew exactly what he was planning. The knowledge made her want to scream. Instead, she swallowed, then asked, ‘You intend to what? Turn my body against me to get the answers you want?’
William stroked the tip of his finger lightly along her lower lip. At her involuntary shiver, he shrugged. ‘It seems to work.’
‘Why, you—you—’ She was so livid at his dispassionate attitude that she couldn’t find words vile enough to spew at him. She took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes. ‘And how will you know if I lie or not?’
He cupped the side of her head. When she tried to jerk away from his touch, he simply curled his fingers into the hair covering the back of her head, and held her in place. ‘Because I will ask you over…’ he leaned closer ‘…and over…’ he lowered his head to whisper against her lips ‘…and over again.’
She hated what he did to her. Hated it. Hated him. Hated herself and her weakness more. Yet she let her eyelids flutter closed in expectation of his kiss.
When it did not come, Sarah opened her eyes and stared into his steely stare. He thought he was going to toy freely with her? She raised her leg, and with all her might trounced soundly on his foot.
While she gained a slight measure of satisfaction from his flinch, she hadn’t expected him to jerk her forwards and cover her mouth with his. The moment she relaxed, he released her and pushed her away.
Sarah swiped the back of her hand across her mouth. ‘Do you plan on doing that every time you need to coerce or punish me?’
Not for a moment did William think her question unfair. He deserved the query and her dismissive action. But he wasn’t about to back down now by begging her forgiveness. He didn’t want her forgiveness. He wanted her honesty. Was that too much to ask for in a marriage?
Instead of apologising, he pinned her with a glare and answered, ‘If that’s what it takes to get an answer from you, then yes.’
Without waiting for her to respond, he waved a hand toward Hugh and Adrienna. ‘Let’s go.’
‘Go?’ With her fists braced against her hips, Sarah drew herself up to her full height, putting her face just about level with his chest, and then stared up at him. ‘Just like you’re ordering about a dog, is that it?’
If she had the slightest hint of how her flashing blue eyes and flushed cheeks made his blood rush, she’d close her mouth and chase after the other couple as quickly as possible.
Thankfully, she didn’t have the slightest hint. She was convinced that the only reason he touched her, or kissed her was as she’d said—for coercion or…punishment. William swallowed a groan at the thought of punishing her. He’d sooner cut off his sword arm than lay a hand, or mouth, on her in a fit of rage.
Once she calmed down, she’d likely figure that out for herself. In the meantime, what harm was there in taking advantage of her misplaced thoughts?
