To her absolute horror, she let out a pathetic squeak of surprise that surely undermined every ounce of ferocity she'd exhibited toward him. Thankfully he'd finally left her alone with her mortification. He'd caught her by complete surprise, she hadn't expected him to dare lay another finger on her, let alone push her against the wall like... She let out a snarl of rage, now that she was safely alone, at the way her stomach had knotted and wanted to again at the mere thought of it. Fuck. At least she'd given him a bloody nose, but fuck. Was he sufficiently warned off now or was he going to be a future problem? Would she have to be on high alert at all family gatherings to make sure she was never alone with him? That wasn't fair! That was also highly irritating. No, no he wasn't going to make her behave any differently than she would normally. Tiberius would hear of this. Tiberius would... Whatever she might think he'd do it both pissed her off and made her feel that way again and she was beyond done with it for the evening.

Still seething, Tig stormed off to rejoin the gathering.
