"And don't call me babe. I am not your 'babe'." Inessa scowled.
"Should I call you love then? Cause that's what you are." Luca said cheekily.
Inessa's scowl deepened as she glared at him. If only looks could kill, Luca would have been ten feet under by now.
"Call me that again, and I'll take pleasure in showing you how brutal my love can be." She warned him.
"Okay then, can I call you a unicorn? Because you are a miracle in my life." Luca snickered, enjoying aggravating the woman.
Fisting his electric blue hair in her hands, Inessa pulled his head backward, glaring at him.
"Shut your mouth, before I get tempted to stuff it with my fist." Inessa said slowly, to get her message across his thick skull.
Luca raised his hands in surrender, and she let go of his head.
"So, you are into these kinds of things. But no worries, I like it. My kinky baby." he said, whispering the last part directly into her ear.
A quick blush spread over her at his implication, and her glare intensified. He guffawed loudly. But instead of gracing him with a response, Inessa punched his face, enjoying the groan that came after it.
