“Why are you following me if I irritate you so much, Herman?”
“When I first saw you, I thought you were the sexiest woman I’d ever seen in my life. I’m here because I want you, and I need to know whether anyone is in my way. At that moment my hormones went haywire. I swallowed hard; my stomach tightened.
“The fact that I don’t like you gets in your way. Weren’t you the one who accused me of all the mortal sins?”
“But that doesn’t mean I can’t spend the night with you so well that you’ll be screaming. My pulse quickened.”
Right then, Herman’s phone rang, but he hung up without even looking at the screen.
“So where were we?” he rubbed his unshaven chin.
“Oh, right. We were talking about how I’ll make you scream.”
“I don’t scream.”
“We’ll see about that, Agatha. I always get what I want.”
The warning was unnecessary. I already knew that Herman Peryov was used to getting everything he wanted—because he’s the main authority in our city. It’s a shame he won’t get what he wants this time.
