    Chapter 109


    The photo served as a memento of the asion.


    “I figured I’de along.”


    He nces 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 onest nce 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 exin, 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 voicees 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 syble 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 bying here.”


    Heughs, 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 bying 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 yfulness. Slowly, he moves his arms to my sides until he’s caging me in


    between them andid his hands to the edge of the desk. He holds me in, trapped andpletely


    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 ofposure around him was d amn near impossible. Not when he was


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


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


    Goosebumps rise frommand 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 g.”


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


    dered 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 ce.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
