"Making love to you?" he echoed, clearly taken aback by the situation considering our connection as his nephew's partner.
"Yes," I insisted, unwilling to back down.
As Saint moved closer, my confidence wavered. Would he finally dismiss me for my reckless words? I held my breath, bracing for his rejection. "I don't engage in tender love affairs, mia cara. I...intimacy is rough and raw for me."
