"Naughty. When you slept with me last night, you weren't saying that,"
the man spoke in a tone as if he were discussing the weather.
Distant and calm, as though he was talking about someone else's business.
"You, I... Mr. Cooper, could you be mistaken? I went to bed early last night, I don't even know what you're talking about..."

Her heart was beating so fast, it was almost losing rhythm!
"To eat and not recognize the debt, isn't that a bit too heartless, hmm?"
The tailing sound of that last word carried a slightly rising intonation.
When Lily heard it, it was as if someone was lightly brushing a feather across the tip of her heart.
That tone was too crisp and tingling.
It was somewhat reminiscent of the time when Aidan Lucas pampered her the most.
But now, there was also a hint of a cool, sexual tease.
