“Sure.” His responding stare into my eyes burned so scorching, I needed to look away. My pores and skin prickled at his depth.

Identical to final night time, it had come immediately and unexpectedly.

The stress between us stuffed the air with thick sexual warmth.

I wasn’t even him, as an alternative, on the curtains blowing within the mushy breeze, however his consciousness on me felt like a caress throughout my pores and skin.

I hated how attracted I used to be to him.

How a lot I might considered that kiss all night time and day.

He’d protected me on the membership final night time, not solely getting that man off me, however comforting me after I was freaking out.

He introduced me cookies and soothed my nightmares final night time.

In each factor he did, he confirmed me that he cared.

And but, his rejection could not have been extra frigid.

Ignoring me, he leaned down, his hand touchdown on my waist to squeeze it. He pressed his mouth to my ear, his breath over my pores and skin making me shiver as he growled, “Put on one thing refined. I do not wish to gouge out the eyes of any man you.”

Then he was gone, leaving me to suck in a breath on the feelings tumbling via me.

By the top of the day, I might found which of my father’s guards was with him when he met with the physician.

In fact, I used to be taking an enormous threat by approaching his guard, but it surely was one I used to be prepared to take. My father had too many hiding spots to go looking via them, and I had a restricted time.
