Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Nine
"That doesn't answer my question. I gave you time, Emma... And space... You have absolutely no idea how hard it was for me to stay away. But I thought that was what you wanted...after that night. And yet you still act this way. I want to understand you, Emma. Why do you choose to fight me? I'm not going to hurt you. He said.
"You say that and yet here we are" she said. "everything was fine until you came along."
He smiled. "That's because you keep fighting me" he said, and then he promised too quietly, "If you will cool down, my tender little wildcat, you will see that there is a lot going on between us?"
His low, intimate tone brought Emma's chin up and tightened her fists. "between us? The only thing between us is a bad employee-boss relationship. You can leave now and take it with you. You know you can't just show up at my place whenever you want and act like you own me."
