His eyes widened a fraction before he scoffed. “How

does me wanting to get in your panties equal to us being

good friends?” He eyed my hand, the one stretched out

between us. “And are you really waiting for a handshake?”

Goddamn it, what was I thinking?

Heat burnt my cheeks in embarrassment. “I’m trying to

be civil here,” I said through clenched teeth. “I just think…

if we’re so good at being enemies, imagine us being on the

same side?”

It was true. I was tired of fighting with Maddox, day

after day, over and over again. It was time to call truce, to

end this war and to start over.

There was an unreadable gleam in his eyes when he

spoke. “You’ll bring Berkshire to its knees, Sweet Cheeks.”

I’m going to bring you to your knees. I kept that tidbit to

myself.

Maddox looked thoughtful for a second. He rubbed a

thumb across his square jaw before giving me a simple nod.

“Fine.”

Wait…really? I blinked, waiting for him to laugh and call

me pathetic.

He didn’t.

Maddox stared at me expectantly.

Holy shit.

time, I showed him my pinky. “We solemnly swear to not

share any animosity between us anymore and we’ll play

nice.”

If Maddox thought I was being stupid, he didn’t show it

on his face. “I solemnly swear not to be an asshole, but I’ll

still think of sixty-nine ways of how I can dick you down

every time you look at me or shake your ass my way.”

“Maddox!” I hissed, heat blooming in my cheeks at his

crude words. I was no saint, but damn it, he knew how to

make a girl blush.
