Kane POV:
Okay, so maybe my approach in the car was a bit bold, but honestly, I don't regret it. She's mine. Mate bond or not, every fiber of my being is screaming to claim her, to show her exactly where she belongs—by my side. Sure, I've been an ass, and sure, she's mad as hell at me, but that doesn't change the fact that she's mine. And if seducing her is what it takes to get her to acknowledge me, then so be it. I'm nothing if not determined.
That's why I took her shopping. No, not some standard department store. I took her to the most luxurious boutique in the city—one I own, though she doesn't need to know that. Watching her march around the place, picking out items with that fire in her eyes, was oddly satisfying. It was almost like a challenge. Like she thought she could bankrupt me. Cute.
