Evaline:
I sucked in a sharp breath, my face instantly heating at his words.
The way he looked at me... like I was something forbidden he wanted to ruin... set my entire body on fire. I swung my hand up to lightly punch his chest, hoping to diffuse the tension, but he caught me faster than I anticipated. His fingers wrapped around my wrist, and with one smooth motion, he twisted my arm behind my back.
I gasped as it brought me flush against him, our bodies completely aligned. Chest to chest. Heat to heat.
I could feel everything.
"You are impossible," I muttered, trying to glare up at him even as my voice trembled.
"Is there any lie in what I said?" he asked, his voice low and silk-wrapped danger. His eyes searched mine, challenging me.
There wasn't. That was the problem.
