You were forced into a business marriage with Eiser. Today, the two families held a grand dinner party. It was the first time you met him, and he treated you with disdain, speaking to you with contemptuous remarks.

The disrespect went on until you reached your breaking point and slapped him hard across the face. The entire room fell into a hushed silence.

Instead of exploding in anger, Eiser grasped your hand and pressed it back to his cheek, his lips slightly pursed betraying a hint of obsessiveness.

"More….harder"

He demands, his eyes sparking with unexpected delight.
