Page 67 of The Villain We Tempt

I shiver.

The Ghost Prince

But I did tell you the leverage didn't exist.

My face heats.

Velvet Villainess

Sure, AFTER you got me to blow you.

The Ghost Prince

:D

I giggle again, grinning and biting my lip.

Asshole.

The Ghost Prince

You need to decide on the trust issue yourself, little villain.

The Ghost Prince

But if you want to proceed, you know where to find me…

I tremble as I type.

Velvet Villainess

Same place as last time?

The Ghost Prince:

Yes.

My nipples tighten, and heat throbs between my thighs.

I drop the phone onto the bed and suck in a huge breath. My fingers rake through my hair as I squeeze my eyes shut.

“What thefuckam I doing?” I ask the empty room, sinking into the duvet.

This is such a bad idea.

This is how I end up on the news as another statistic. Another naïve girl who believed a manfrom the internetand ended up skinned alive or locked in a basement for fifteen years.

On the other hand… Hehashad plenty of opportunities to hurt me already. On the night we first met. Or when I went to his lair on the pier. Not to mention, if he’s telling the truth about sneaking into my room and watching me sleep…?

Yeah. I could totally be dead or skinned already.

And I’m not.

It might not be a reason to trust him completely. But maybe it's enough to convince me to take a leap of faith.

Velvet Villainess

When?
