If he let her run wild , God knows what kind of trouble shed get herself insy ripecially with son guy stringing He took a deep breath , trying to stay calm .

Arent we supposed to be engaged So what ? She blinked up at him , looking gemmninely confused .

Nicolas leaned in , closing the space between them , his furath mixing with hers .

His voice doopped low , his words coming our like a grow , thick with restraint .

Il wete engaged , your cant be talking about doing adult things with other guys Noelle stared at him , her eyes wide with confusion .

Is that like , a rule here ?? Before she could say another word , Nicolas reached up and lightly tapped her forehead with his fingers .

Ouch ! Noelle winced , rubbing her head as she glared up at him , clearly frustrated .

Nick , why you hit me again ? Because you deserved it , he said flatly , showing no hint of apology , How the hell did you grow up without knowing any of this ? What kind of environment were you raised in ? ) If it were anyone else , hed think they were just pretending to be clueless .

His hand moved up to gently massage her forehead .
