![]() ALEX: Perfect Opposite Book One (Extended edition)
-- EXCERPT: Sasha I strode into the room confidently and, hands on hips, placed myself between Alex and the TV. Casting the joystick aside, he leaned back further and raised an eyebrow at me. I imagined fires being put out by one of his cold stares. “Don’t you think it’s time to earn some of the money Nikolai pays you?” I asked quietly, careful not to let Beth overhear. “On the contrary, Princess. I don’t think Nikolai pays me enough. Spending all my days in your sweet company qualifies me for special, early retirement.” “Oh really…” I looked him full in the face and pointed to the chandelier. “The bulb blew this morning and needs replacing.” “You’re right.” He nodded and continued to look at me, with no intention of making a move. “Are you trying to make me lose it, or am I just imagining it?” “No. I’m waiting for you to ask me nicely.” “It wouldn’t cross my mind to ask you for anything.” “You don’t need to ask me, exactly, just a few polite words: Alex, would you change the bulb? It’s not hard, trust me.” “Are you serious?” I couldn’t believe that he, of all people, felt entitled to instruct me about manners. God, he was infuriating. I regarded him carefully, a wicked smile building at the corners of my mouth. “Alex, honey, would you be so kind as to change the bulb in the chandelier, it would mean such a lot to me?” I asked in the most sugary voice possible. I watched as a barely noticeable look of satisfaction appeared on his face and smiled even more. Some men actually lived in the conviction that their word must always be the last. “And please, while you do that,” I blinked at him like some kind of cartoon, “be sure and get electrocuted, would you?” ![]()
