I fixed my eyes on him so fiercely that a dull pain began to throb behind my eyelids. "Anthony, sometimes I wonder if you possess something called a brain," I spat out, the insult escaping my lips before I could reign in my words.In an instant, he was right in front of me. A sharp breath caught in my throat as he pressed my back against the wall, effectively caging me with his arms on either side. His piercing gaze bore into mine, a smoldering anger flickering within. "You should be mindful of what you're saying, Amelia," he warned, his nostrils flaring with each word. "I will not stand for disrespect from anyone—especially not from my mate." The gravity of his warning resonated in the air between us, thick with tension and unspoken boundaries.I smirked, fully aware that I was playing with fire. "Good. Then you should know that I too do not take disrespect lightly," I declared boldly, trying to mask the flutter of apprehension that surged through me.To my surprise, his eyes sparkled with a thrilling delight. "Really?" he asked, leaning closer. "You’re quite skilled at concealing your fear, mate." In an unexpected move, he nestled his face into the crook of my neck, his nose brushing against my collarbone, sending delightful shivers of pleasure racing down my spine.
