HIT ME LIKE A MAN

He ought to expect her to stomp on his broken toes again, but he doesn?t. Alas, he doesn?t back away. He stays looking in her face, teeth grinding together as he determines he will not be the first to back down from this confrontation. ?How about this, libeling?you give me a kiss, and I leave you alone,? he offers. It?s an innocent offer, isn?t it? All she has to do is plant a single kiss to his cheek and he?ll depart, getting out of her fur and having at least crossed into first base territory. It?s a win, win in his opinion. Otherwise, he supposes he?ll have to get creative and find some other way to get under her skin.
