My jaw dropped.
How were these decisions so easily decided by him? He wanted me as his mate... boom... I would become his mate. Boom... done. He wanted to sleep with me...boom... he sleeps with me. He wanted to win my heart and make me love him then that was what he was going to do.
“Just like that, huh?” I asked him finally.
He opened the weaved basket and began pulling out the food for us.
“Yes, just like that,” he responded with such certainty that I would have sworn he thought he had already won it.
I opened my mouth to explain why it wouldn’t that easy, but the smell of the food reminded me that my stomach insisted on eating more.
What the heck. I thought to myself. Might as well argue that point later.
