His eyes returned to me—slow, assessing. Then, without warning, his hands shot up and clamped around my throat.
I gasped, instinctively clawing at his arms. He didn’t move. “Disobey me again,” he said, voice low, stripped of warmth, “and we won’t be counting next time.”
Even shaking, I lifted my chin. “Then don’t mistake silence for obedience,” I said hoarsely.
Carlino’s voice followed—calm, absol...
