He grimaced from the exertion, but he quickly lowered his head to hide his pain.
Lucinda blinked at him in surprise and instinctively reached out to help him. She wasn’t expecting him to roll right off the bed!
But then she remembered their current predicament and withdrew her hand.
The whole floor was covered in a lush carpet, anyway. Even if he fell from the ceiling, he would be safe and cushioned. A small bump shouldn’t hurt.
Besides, he was so hateful tonight. If she could, Lucinda would have beaten him to death. A kick was a light punishment as it was.
She perched on the edge of the bed, crossing her arms over her chest as she stared down at him.
This jerk!
“Kneel!”
Nathan was still struggling to keep himself upright.
Afraid that he might expose himself, he imitated her posture and sat cross-Legged on the carpet, facing her. His expression was cold.

She turned around silently and fixed her gaze on Nathan, who sat on the floor.
He looked back at her. It would be somewhat awkward if she didn’t grab something.
His black belt hung on the coat rack nearby. She walked over and grabbed it. With the metal buckle in her hand, she returned to the bed.
“Do you see what I have in my hand? Don’t make me use it on you!”
She warned him in a low but fierce tone.
