“I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be disrespectful.” He’d stopped, to her relief, and she stood next to him. This close, he was even more imposing. She caught his scent, deeply masculine, nothing covered or camouflaged with artificial scents. It was pure male, and it was as heady, as it was distinct.
“I want to know what I’ve agreed to, what your condition is.”
“Come.” He growled impatiently, and started down the passage, but at a slower pace. She could keep pace with him as he walked, without having to jog.
“You have agreed to provide me with progeny.” He threw her a sidelong glance.
She gasped, not from exertion, but from his words. Her stomach twisted into knots, and she suddenly felt weak. “Progeny? You mean you expect me to…that we’re going to…are you serious?”
“Very good. You understand.”
“But why on earth would I want to do that?”
“It doesn’t matter if you want to. It matters that you agreed to.” He stopped, and she almost ran into him. “You agreed to the condition before hearing it. If you wish to change your mind, you can turn back now. I will let you return to your home freely.”
“But…that’s blackmail.”
She wasn’t expecting him to laugh. “Do you always get what you want? Does everyone give into what you desire? You have that…man…twisted around to do your bidding. Is that how all men are when it comes to you?”
“Daniel? He rarely does what I want.”
Griffin laughed again. “Say what you will, but I can see you are a woman who is used to being in control. And in this case, you do not get your way without me getting mine.”
