Natalie's breathing hitched a little.
What would he do?
Did it mean if she took her word back, Tobias would kill her?
"You're not thinking about killing me and getting rid of my body, are you?" Her voice wavered.
His lips curled into a sly grin. "No. I'll torture you in bed over and over again."
Natalie's eyes widened and her lips parted in disbelief.
There was no turning back now.
The two of them finally arrived at the Whitlock family's villa.
"Mr. Whitlock, I'm going to bed." She hurriedly bid Tobias goodnight, clearly wishing to leave.
All the events that played out through the day were too overwhelming. She needed some time alone to process everything.
As she spun around and strode towards her room, Tobias grabbed her arm and yanked her towards him. Her entire body jerked with the sudden tug.
"Natalie, please call me Tobias. Mr. Whitlock sounds too formal."
Her heart skipped a beat. "But you're my boss."
"And your future husband," he whispered huskily as his dark eyes stared right into her soul.
Her mind turned into a buzzing mess of static.
Husband...
Was he really taking their relationship that seriously?
"But I am really not used to calling you that, Mr. Whitlock," she replied weakly after pausing for a moment. Tobias was her superior, after all. She felt uncomfortable calling him by his first name. It felt too... intimate. Tobias playfully patted her face and said, "You'll slowly get used to it."
She returned a stiff smile. "Alright."
"By the way," he added, "you'll have to slowly get used to sleeping with me too."
Heat immediately rushed to her cheeks.
She sped off into her bedroom, her face scarlet red.
