Chapter 189 Punishment or Reward
Alistair was tied up again.
And yes, it was the same ridiculous pink rope.
This time, though, Caroline had upped the intimidation factor. To make him confess quickly, she had somehow managed to get her hands on a whip.
Also pink.
She paced slowly in front of him, radiating all the haughty, regal energy of a dominatrix queen, with a quick flick of her wrist, the whip cracked through the air with a sharp snap.
"Darling," she said coolly, "you better start talking. Aside from secretly asking Aaron to investigate behind my back, what else have you been hiding from me?"
Alistair stared at the pink whip in a daze -
not satisfied with his silence, Caroline leaned in like a rogue in an old film, using two fingers to lift his chin until their eyes met.

Too bad for her, it had zero effect on Alistair. If anything, he found it even more endearing.
As she held his chin, he tilted his head toward her fingers with a subtle pout.
The message couldn't have been more obvious.
Caroline froze. "No, stop this."
Don't give in, Caroline! Do not give in! Stay focused!

She tried to act unfazed, but her eyes kept drifting to his lips- healthy, pink, soft - and just close enough to kiss.
No wonder the honey trap never went out of style. It worked.
And she, the woman who prided herself on self-control, was about to be undone by one smile.
Alistair, sensing her hesitation, closed his eyes and leaned into the moment, the anticipation practically radiating off him.
