Feeling his hard member press against her, her pulse quickened, and she swallowed hard as a sudden tingling spread across her skin.
However, the sight of his blood-stained boot from yesterday's morning abruptly resurfaced in her mind, making her recall what he had done to her rogue friends.
In an insistent, her lustful eyes dimmed and her stomach twisted in disgust, a nauseating heat rising from within her.
The sensual tension instantly melted away as she whipped her head to the side, biting down on her lower lip to rein in the disgust in her tone.
"I appreciate your help, my lord, but I'll prefer to pay you in another way. I don't mind giving you my salary for the month."
At this, the little warmth in his eyes vanished, replaced with something colder.
Though his hard-on pressed harder against his towel, his expectant eyes went dark from hearing such ridiculous words.
"A months' salary isn't enough. What I saved you from warrants at least six months' worth of salary."
