"Are you toying with me, Ophelia? If you aren't careful, I will give you what you are asking for," Dante said, seeing right through Ophelia's plans.
"You wanted me to be honest, and when I am, you think that I am pretending. I shall never be open again," Ophelia said, moving her hand, but just as she expected, Dante held onto her hand.
It took great restraint for Ophelia not to smile.
In recent days, Dante craved skin contact.
Usually, Ophelia would never allow it, but it was comforting with Dante.
Dante knew Ophelia wasn't being honest, but he couldn't tell why she was playing with his feelings.
Was it because he constantly teased her?
Was this Ophelia's way of getting even with him?
Dante kept his hold of Ophelia's hand. He was a fool to expose what he knew of her plans.
Real or not, to have Ophelia attempt to seduce him was worth watching. When would he see this side of her again?
