he said seriously as his lips straightened into a thin line.

How dare he? The first condition didn't even make any sense! The second one was that he obviously intended to treat her like a slave. As they say, if one handed you lemons, you can just go and make lemonade. She shook her head at the thought.

"I've seen every part of your body, and there is absolutely no part that I haven't touched. What else can I take advantage of?" he teased.
