He walked to the window and pulled down the blinds shutting out the rest of the world while he turned to the woman who was hell-bent on making his world a living hell.
“What was the meaning of that in there?” He growled at her stalking towards her with angry strides while she took one step back, her tongue going out to lick her bottom lips.
