Chapter 109

The photo served as a memento of the occasion.

“I figured I’d come along.”

He glances over to me but returns to looking at the photos that piqued his interest. He leans closer to a

specific one of me standing beside Meredith with a small smile on my face before raising his hand over

it. His fingertips glide across the photo of me and a shudder simultaneously passed through me as he

does.

“I’ve been deprived of you for far too long.”

The soft husk in his tone pulls out a gasp. A soft gasp that he didn’t notice. Or maybe he did, but just

chose to ignore it. My breath hitches along with my heart rate speeding up unbelievably fast. But he

keeps on walking like he doesn’t know how his words affect me.

I feel the desperate need to cough, to clear my throat and do pretty much anything to free us from this

tension. He takes one last glance at the photo before shifting his attention to me.

“That dream of yours, was it good?”

Very.

“I wouldn’t know.”

I say quietly. I feel a spark of confidence wire into my brain. Confidence that would surely get me in

trouble but for now, I went along with it. Raizel co cks an eyebrow at my response and tilts his head to

the side. His chest moves up as he sucks in a heavy breath.

“Oh? And why is that?”

I shrug, walking around the desk until I reached the front. I pressed the heels of my palms onto the

edge and leaned back.

Raizel watches me as I sit on the border. His body is half turned to face me.

“It cut short before it got to the good part.”

I explain, letting my gaze fall to the desk as if what I was saying really wasn’t that big of a deal. Raizel’s

lips twitch upwards like he catches my insinuation but he holds himself down from making any remarks.

In three strides, he’s in front of me. I unconsciously press myself harder into the desk as I raise my

eyes to meet his. I wasn’t going to back down, no matter how weak my knees felt.

The previous smile on his face wiped clean. Narrowed grey eyes stare down at me with no hint of

breaking away.

His presence enwrapped around me like a little red bow.

His fingers the only thing that can undo the cords binding me toward him. Though I doubt he ever

would, nor would I ever want him to.

“And what part would that be?”

Raizel’s voice comes softly. Almost like he’s coaxing me to tell the truth and admit to him what he and I

both know, but in words. Each syllable and letter seduces me into the caress of his words. I never knew

such a thing could even exist until I met him. Stubborn to hold onto any remaining humility in me, I give

him a small smile to rival his expectant look.

“The part where I ask you what you expect to get by coming here.”

He laughs, shaking his head slightly. He’s somewhat impressed and disappointed in my diversion. I can

tell even without him saying it.

“I didn’t expect anything by coming here. I only wanted to see you.”

His lips tug into a smirk as he steps even closer. I swallow, pressing myself further into the desk if

possible. If he so much as touches me, no matter if it was for a second, I would fall apart. It wasn’t a

question if I would, it was a matter of when.

“Why?”

He asks with a hint of playfulness. Slowly, he moves his arms to my sides until he’s caging me in

between them and laid his hands to the edge of the desk. He holds me in, trapped and completely

vulnerable to whatever it is he has in mind. His hard chest is inches away from mine but he looks

unfazed. If anything, he’s amused.

I struggle to hold in my breath. My wolf is growing crazy in my mind, yipping, barking, intense tail

wagging. Holding any form of composure around him was d amn near impossible. Not when he was

this close. This display of intimacy was a prime example of why.

“Did you think I would take something from you?”

Goosebumps rise from command and a chill runs through me. Electricity zaps into my nerves and

somehow, the tiredness I felt washed away in a millisecond. As if I wasn’t in a deep sleep until

moments before.

I force a smile onto my face and daringly look into his eyes. The confidence I felt before is crumbling

but I force myself to at least do this. A look of intrigue crosses his features as to how I would respond.

This was a question that would decide whether I end up distancing us or bringing us closer. “No, it just

seems strange you’d travel all this way just to see me. We did, after all, just see each other a few days

ago at the gala.”

It’s been a long week. A long week since we decided we would try whatever this was. Since he boldly

declared to wanting me and asking for permission to court me. A week where he kept sending me

flowers at the same time, left in the same place.
