“Sir, you’re looking mighty pleased today. You had a good night with her last night, right?” Sonny’s hands rubbed together as he grinned obsequiously.
He looked pleased?
Nathan had spent nearly an hour on his knees, enduring a grueling scolding session that left his knees swollen and bruised. He indeed had every reason to be ‘happy.’
His gaze narrowed slightly, and his expression was solemn, but a peculiar smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
