what she was saying.
    “ I am at an age where I need to settle down and start thinking about an heir. If I am going to be chained to anyone Madame, I would rather it be to you. You will not sway me on my decision, so save your breath for another argument that I’m sure we will have.”
    “ But that’s just the thing!” She blurted out.
    She could feel her temper rising and her face felt flush with anger. She sat up and scowled at him as she continued on in her tyrant.
    “ This is your decision, not mine! Doesn’t my opinion matter to you? Wouldn’t you prefer a woman who was actually willing to marry you?”
    Why did he look unperturbed? Was he deaf? He just sat there looking upon her as though she was simply there for his amusement. He was smiling at her with his devil’s smile and truthfully, she felt as though he was undressing her with his eyes. Possibly this was his way of trying to throw her off her argument by making her feel exposed and weakened? Did he not know who he was dealing with?
    “ Stop looking at me like that! Don’t look at me as a woman but as a person, a person who in no way shape or form wants to be tied to anybody! Find someone else!”
    “ I must encourage you to save all that passion for our marriage bed Katherine. When you’re angry you look like a sexy kitten that I’m tempted to stroke, even though I know your claws will be sharp.”
    She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Judging on the look on his face, she could guess he was merely bating her. She could only blink at him in amazement. What would it take to shake his calm? How could she make him see that this is a terrible mistake that he is making?
    “ Are you possibly in need of a mistress?” She asked, knowing it would throw him off.
    Gently bred ladies did not speak of mistresses and certainly didn’t suggest them to their husbands to be.
    Now it was his turn to blink at her with a look of amazement on his face. Perhaps she was on the right path.
    “ Are you offering your services?” He asked in amazement.
    She couldn’t help but laugh. Not just a small feminine giggle, but a full out laugh of hysteria!
    “ God no!” she managed through her chokes of laughter. “I’m merely suggesting that you take up a mistress and leave me alone!” she laughed out as she wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand.
    He still looked as though he was in shock.
    “ Please Lord Salvador; don’t pretend to be the prude. You don’t need a wife; you just need a woman to warm your bed. If you would like I can make a couple of recommendations.”
    “ I wonder if you will be so approving of a mistress after I have wed you, sweet Katherine” He said as he tried to pull himself together.
    “ If you still insist on wedding me, then I will insist that you find another woman to lay with you. Infact, I see no reason for us to share a bed - ever. So feel free to have me replaced in the marriage bed while I save up my passion for someone else.” She laughed out.
    She knew she wasn’t being fair, but then again he wasn’t either by forcing this marriage on her.
    Her laugh stuck in her throat as he suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the neck and pushed her onto her back.
    “ Don’t ever let me catch you with another man Katherine, ever!” He growled out as he tightened his grip on her neck and prowled over her.
    Katherine’s eyes widened as she read the sudden fury in his face and felt his fingers gripping at her throat, threatening to squeeze the life out of her.
    “ You belong to me Katherine and I will not share you with another man. Furthermore, you will warm my bed whether you like it or not. And not only my bed Kat but wherever and whenever I choose and you will obey me.”
    His nostrils were flaring and his face was contorted in pure rage. He looked like the devil himself, making her wish that she hadn’t tried to shake his calm. Now she knew that she was playing with fire and the devil wasn’t one to hold
