Have no fear for your reputation.\u201d Her eyes darkened under the wash of his emotions. \u201cIf you\u2019re proving your worth, shall I be submissive, then? Beg for your attentions? Or do your prefer a girl who knows her own mind?\u201d This time she scratched her nails back down his arm over the fabric of his shirt.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs much as I feel that I\u2019d thoroughly enjoy your pleas for me, I prefer a girl who, as you so aptly said, knows her own mind.
