章 140: So close

It was as though her body was melting like butter on a hot pan before his scorching gaze and she was rendered utterly helpless.

I mean, you'd be able to smell my blood immediately if I even have a single scratch on me." Evie realised that she was blabbering due to being slightly embarrassed at the intensity of his seductive gaze on her. When that registered in her mind, she bit down on her lip and blushed even harder. She could even feel the heat radiating from her cheeks.
