"Fine, we can do five months. No talk about any duties in bed." Levi negotiated.

"If we go to see my family we will have to share a bedroom but you can rest assured that I am a gentleman and I will not touch you until you beg me." He said, his voice filled with a dark promise that made Lyse narrow her eyes.
"Why would I beg you and how can I trust that you would keep your hands to yourself?" She scoffed.
"Because women fall at my feet, I never need to force them." He answered glibly, his tone smug.
"Forgive me for not believing that the man who just tried to sneak in a clause to force me to sleep with him in a fake marriage is suddenly an honest man." Lyse said hotly as she glared at Levi.
