"Are you done?" He asked, his face pressed against my ear and his lips brushing my cheeks as he talked. My body jolted with awareness as the feeling of tiny needles poking my skin spread through my body. "I thought we had established by now that if I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already." I couldn't help but frown in surprise. Did he really not want to kill me? Then why did he say he couldn't let me leave? "Let go of me," I ordered, squirming in his grip. A soft laugh escaped his lips, but he didn't release the pressure on my wrist. He kept me pressed against him, his hot cheek against mine. I held my breath. "If I do that, are you going to try to kill me again?" He asked softly with his signature amused tone. "Might I suggest some other kind of weapon- that blade of yours maybe?" My nails dug into his forearm. He was enjoying this a little too much. What did he want from me? "You're a wild little thing, you know that?" He asked and I closed my eyes in frustration. "While I'd love to play sword with you all day long, we do have a problem on our hands-" My eyebrows furrowed and my body stiffened.
