“For how long?” she whispered.
“Forever,” he answered in a tone which made her feel he thought her question was stupid.
“You want to punish me forever?”
“Briar, darling, as much fun as this conversation is, I do well and truly need to get sleep. I hate being in Paris and tomorrow my schedule is jam packed.”
“Liev,” she whispered as his breathing started to even out. She felt his irritation that she’d woken him.
“What now?”
“Are you really a dangerous mafia guy or are you just f*****g with me?”
“I am as dangerous as they come, kisa, but if you behave yourself, you’ll have nothing to fear from me. I don’t want to hurt you. We will sit down and discuss everything, calmly and rationally, when you are not jet lagged and exhausted from dealing with teenagers and I am not so emotional.”
