Matt raised his hands up defensively.
"Hold on, hold on, hold on," he said, as if the repetition would have made any difference. "I am most definitely not trying to seduce you. Believe me -"
"Quit that horse manure you are spewing," Mariana hissed. "I can read your body language just fine. Your intentions are clear, and the tone of our conversation reveals more than a few things about your true nature."
"So what if I would be trying to seduce you, though?" Matt raised his eyebrows, but he was still backing away from Mariana. "You are a very beautiful lady, and you should know that."
Convinced that this meant total annihilation of all friendly relations with this man, Mariana prepared a sentence that would surely get Daniel's attention.
HE WANTS ME.
Daniel replied with haste and no tact at all. The words he used were so crude and cruel that Mariana really did not want to repeat them, not even inside her own mind. The point was still rather clear, though.
She should kill Matt.
