"Be the third lady of Braylon's household"
.............................
He strode purposefully towards me, a smirk playing on his lips like the mischievous gremlin he was. As I instinctively took a step back, my confidence melted away. Pressed against the door, I made a move to turn the handle, but he intercepted, gently gripping my hand and guiding me to face him.
Trapped between his muscular figure and the door, I felt a flush of embarrassment creep up my cheeks.
Does he have any concept of personal space?
"Do you have anything to say, melanin?" His smirk widened, almost mocking.
"Actually, it's Jasmine," I blurted out, feeling my face grow even warmer under his intense gaze. Does he even know my name? "Stop calling me that!" I retorted, deciding to play along. With a smirk of my own, I added, "You might as well address me as the third lady."
He chuckled without humor, a sound that sent a shiver down my spine. "You catch on quickly. Perhaps a week without my presence left you feeling lonely and eager to remind me of your significance."
Rolling my eyes at his self-assurance, I couldn't deny that my face had turned into a crimson shade.
Leaning closer to my petite frame, his breath grazed my earlobe, causing me to shiver at the minty scent that engulfed me.
What on earth was happening?
"There are still plenty of things I could show you," his voice husky, sending a wave of weakness through my legs.
What is he implying?
What is wrong with this man?

"You fucking asshole. Just who do you think you are!" I gave him an open handed slap across the face.
He glared at me stunned, It was clear that no one has ever checked him on his bullshit before. I was honored to be the first one.
"I want to go home!" I screamed.
Jonas looked down at me and rubbed the spot on his cheek I just slapped.
"Tell me why I shouldn't snap your neck right here and right now?" He said tauntingly.
My adrenaline was kicking in. I should be afraid of him but I wasn't. "Do it then." I challenged him. "Snap my neck. Kill me. I've been here for three days and you and your men haven't done shit! All I hear is threats. You are all talk no action." I angrily shoved his chest.
Jonas took a couple of steps backwards and stared at me. I could not read his face.
"You are free to go. I have no need for you any longer." He smirked.
