  fierce denial. “You can’t stay here!”
  “No? ” Caid challenged Jaz in a deliberately exaggerated drawl. “So
  who’s gonna make me leave, honey?  Y ou? ”
  “Don’t you dare call me that,” Jaz protested.
  “Why not? ” Caid taunted her. “I don’t remember hearing you
  complain before. Far from it. In fact, as I remember, you seemed to
  kinda like it— leastways, that was the impression you gave me! ”
  “If there’s one thing I loathe and detest more than a man who
  believes that a woman should be subordinate to him, it’s a man who
  behaves like a boorish, insensitive male brute, so desperate to prove
  how wonderful he is that he tries to boast about… about imaginary
  sexual conquests! ” Jaz burst out.
  “Imaginary?  Oh, no,” Caid told her softly. “There’s no way what
  happened between us— the way you gave yourself to me— was
  imaginary… .”
