His Trap

CHAPTER 99

"Fine. I would feed you. I would pamper you as much as you want tonight, okay?"

"Tonight?"

Her brain immediately got an idea of what he was thinking and she c=scolded him quickly. "Nah, you better not be thinking of your stupid rewards. I am not up for it."

"Why? You did love them."

"Yes, and I would also love leaving you to starve here if you do not behave."

He gulped. The strange coldness in her eyes told him she was serious and if indeed he was hungry, he should not mess with her.

"Good boy." She moved on his lap, trying to reach for the table but his hands latching around her did not give her so much as a breathing space. 

"Jake, I am not running away. So please, release me except you do not want to eat."

"But…"

"You don't trust me?" Her brows raised as she waited for his answer.
