My Ice Prince

I swallowed: his tone was so convincing that I was scared, and I bit my tongue. I didn't want to ride in the boot.

– I'm sorry I was talking too much» I said, trying to calm his anger at me a little.

– Yeah, you like to talk, and now you're talking about something you shouldn't. – Was his answer. His voice didn't warm.
