“If you disobey me one more time,” he whispered, the words a low, vibrating promise of pain, “you’ll regret it.” The seriousness was chilling, but the fear still wouldn’t come. Instead, a perverse triumph bloomed in my chest. He was utterly, completely undone.
“I’d like to see you try,” I whispered back, meeting his stare with cold defiance.
He held me there for a moment that stretched an eternity, his gaze searching mine as if hunting for a shadow of fear. Then, slowly, he released my hands.
