Chapter 180: If I wanted you (2)
"I have my ways that I would like to keep a secret. I am sure you have tricks for seducing women that you would like to keep to yourself. It hardly matters what I would have done if I wanted to court you. Please do not think I have feelings for you and it has been my motive to ease my way into your bed," Annalise said.
She did not want to be misjudged because of what she said a moment ago.
"That is far from what I am thinking right now. Forget that I am your employer for a moment, I would like to know what you would have done to court me. I won’t share your secrets. I fail to see how they would have worked anyway," said Rafael.
Annalise took great offense to his words. Did he think only he could walk around and have everyone falling for him? "You must be reminded of the fact that I have Logan following me around like a lost puppy in need of attention," she said.
Logan was annoying, but he was proof of her doing nothing and getting men to be interested in her. That was a skill she would gladly hold though it ended with her being pestered by Logan.
"You do not know Logan as well as I do. Whenever we return, he always finds a young woman he thinks he has fallen in love with. He moves on to the next when he has gained the young woman’s love. He is stuck on you because you are not falling for his charm. That is all," Rafael said, happy to pop her confidence.
Annalise frowned, not liking how he dismissed her talent. "If I really wanted to court you, I would do better than all the women around you. Look at the two of us alone. If getting in your bed was my goal, I would be quite close to that goal. Your bed is right there," Annalise said, pointing at his bed. "I think you are just upset with the fact I would never court any of your knights. That your charms do not work on me."
"Everyone falls for Rafael Callahan and his knights so why isn’t this one maid doing it? You make yourself feel better by thinking I must not have good taste in men. You are all good to look at but that is it-Oh!" Annalise exclaimed, gripping the sides of her chair Rafael suddenly pulled toward him. "What are you doing?"
"Stopping you from speaking on what you don’t know of. It is my turn to say that if I wanted you, Annalise Woods, I think I might be able to have you. I see your gaze when I am training and isn’t your attraction to me why you avert your eyes when you stumble across me dressing-"
