Elliot had turned his face away from her as her voice pitched higher. Even from his profile it was easy to see the way his expression darkened when she slung titles at him. He pushed himself out of his chair and it wheeled backwards with the force of his anger. He rounded the desk until he stood in front of her. Gaze dripping poison he leaned down, placing his hands on the arm of the chair she occupied. He brought his face level with hers. “I advise you watch your tone, Ms. Weatherfare.” Despite his words it was not a suggestion.
She tried to push the baby towards him and he stood straighter, avoiding the offer. He took Eden’s chin between his fingers, lifting her face higher though it was already raised to glare up at him. The angle of it was likely uncomfortable, but Elliot didn’t seem to care. “You will not speak of my sister or her husband again. Not to me, and most especially not to this child. He will know nothing of his family.” His thumb brushed across her bottom lip, unable to resist, before he released her chin; pushing it away from him.
He looked down his nose at her as he removed the cuff links from his sleeves. He dropped them onto the desk noisily, paying no mind to the child fidgeting in her hands. Mouth working soundlessly like something out of a silent movie. He had apparently found the end to her patience. The game was no longer fun.
He she been anyone else her reaction would have entertained him, and he would have preyed upon it. It was different with Eden, she was only fun when she was pretending to be aloof.
Fingers worked at the buttons of his shirt, pulling them apart one by one, revealing the bloodstained skin underneath. He was tired. Of both the child and in general. “You will raise it. As is.” He untucked the shirt and pulled it off of his shoulders, throwing the garment to the floor. “You will remember your place, and you will address me properly.” He grew louder to punctuate the nerves she danced on. He was the one who made demands, and she was the one who followed them. She seemed to forget that. At this rate the both of them would end up in the hole he’d dug the child out of.
“You and that thing will leave my presence until I have need of you again!”
