Chapter 80: Alpha’s Date Offer
Evaline:
The knock came again. Firmer this time. Sharp enough to yank me back into my own body.
Oscar’s eyes narrowed in irritation, and his jaw tightened. But he didn’t move away though. Not right away. We both stood frozen against the door, his tall frame still blocking mine while his hand was still loosely resting on the door beside my head.
It was insane how aware I was of him. His scent, the way his voice had wrapped around my name like he was afraid to let it go. And now... now that I had seen the side of him that didn’t push me away... I didn’t know what to do with it.
"Are you going to get that?" I asked breathlessly.
He huffed. "It’s probably Kieran. He has the worst timing."
With a reluctant glance down at me, he finally stepped back, but not without brushing his fingers against my arm in the process. That brief touch felt like a trail of fire across my skin.
He opened the door, and much to my surprise, it was indeed Professor Kieran standing on the other side with his arms folded and an unimpressed expression on his face.
"I assume Evaline wasn’t giving you a tour of the bedrooms?" He asked dryly as his gaze flicked from Oscar to me and back again.
Oscar shrugged shamelessly. "She looked like she needed saving. I just happened to be nearby."
Kieran sighed, then turned to me. "Your friend is back. She’s waiting in the foyer."
