“Is that what you want me to do? Try and seduce you so you’ll let me stay?” She lifted her chin in the air. “I wouldn’t sleep with you if you tried!” “Oh really?” He leaned forward, his eyes glittering. “You think you could resist me if I tried?” “I can go a long time without needing my itches scratched,” she said. He laughed. “I hear you. Personally, I like getting my back scratched once a day.” “I’ll bet you do,” she muttered. He pretended not to hear her. “And honey, if I was aiming to seduce you, you’d know it. I’d practically beat you over the head with my charm,” he said, cheesing at her with a dazzling grin.
