Away.”He resisted the urge to rub where she’d poked him. “No can do, honey pie.”“You did not just call me honey pie!”“Sweet cheeks?” The look on her face told him he should stop, but he couldn’t. Her anger was intoxicating. He felt high, his blood thick and hot and furious in his veins. Fiona. Finally.“Baby,” he amended and leaned down toward her. “I’m here to help.”She growled. “You’re going to need help after I’m through with you.”A smile curved his mouth. “Promises.” He caught her hand when she went to poke him again. “Settle, Fi.”She hissed at him. A heartbeat later, something sharp and pointy pressed against his groin. His gaze fell to the military-grade steel blade she suddenly held, the tip of which was pointed perilously close to his most delicate bits.It should have alarmed him.
