The study occupied a good portion of the ground floor. Even being spacy, it felt crammed to her. His presence washed her with giddiness and yearning. Too intimate for her peace of mind. Or body. The scenes of the last nights sprang to her memory, heating her impudently. To break the spell, she hurried to the bookshelf to pluck out what she needed.

“Coleman acts very… familiar with you.” She heard him, his tone picking at her.

She turned to him, a quizzical expression on her face.

“I watched your exchange with him from here just now.” He leaned on the desk, muscled arms crossed over his broad chest; his dark eyes fast on her.

It sounded like an accusation, which vexed her rather intensely. “What is it?” She would not lower herself to the point of justifying her actions under unfounded accusations.

“Nothing much.” He shrugged nonchalant. “I simply wondered if he tried to flirt with you.”

“What if he did?” She lifted her chin defiant.

“I would have to call him out.” His voice deceptively calm.

Her rosewood eyes squinted with irritation. “Call him out?” Her jaw set. “What kind of nonsense is this?”

“I am your husband, as you well remember. I must defend your honour.”

Rage blew out of her like a volcano. “You were not a husband to me for five years!” She shouted, pointing her finger to him. “You have no right to accuse me of this and claim such stupidity!”

“Well, did he or did he not flirt with you?” He pushed from the desk, legs apart, domineering.

At the him, she did not know if she wanted to slap him or use him.

“He did not!” Her fists on her narrow waist. “Where did you get this lunatic idea?”

His lopsided smirk sardonic. “You really don’t know how men covet you, do you?”

“I don’t care about what goes in their head.” She waved her hand at him. “And I don’t care what you think!”

“But I do!” He stated stonily. “I won’t share my wife with anyone!”

She paced the worn out carpet like a jailed wolf. “Your attitude is absolutely ludicrous!” She threw at him.

“Maybe, but I wanted to be sure.” He eyed her intently.

She ogled him raw, crossing her arms. “I have fended for myself for five years. I don’t need and I don’t want your interference!” She paused, and they measured each other as if they were in a fighting ring. “Leave me alone!”

Her anger heated him to red-hot levels. The urge to near her, grab the curvaceous body and take her to bed almost unsurmountable. He merely looked at her hungrily, forgetting to produce an answer.

She walked to the door without waiting for a reply and grabbed the doorknob. “Oh, by the way.” She half turned to him. “Remember not to use the connecting door.” She left, the door flying behind her.
