d he gives me a slight smile.

“You’re hungry?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“You didn’t eat.” His eyes frost and his jaw hardens.

“No, I didn’t eat.” I sit back on my heels and regard

him passively. “Being thrown out of my apartment after

witnessing my boyfriend interacting intimately with his exsubmissive

considerably suppressed my appetite.” I glare

at him and fist my hands on my hips.

Christian shakes his head and rises gracefully to his
