Chapter 27: Who’s The Meal?
I felt like prey in the midst of predators, their stares were fixated on me and unwavering, I was afraid to look away even for a second, scared of what might happen, I gulped and the sound echoed in my ears like a repeated rhythm. my brain couldn’t process what I did to earn such a burning gaze from them. What exactly did I do? I did nothing, for a split second there the look Lucas gave me wasn’t exactly primal anymore but it became lustful? I cringed as an uncomfortable shiver ran through me.
"Lucas!" Dace snapped at him and his eyes were off me and he blinked like he suddenly awoke from a trance. I felt Dace’s hand at the small of my back and I stilled.
"Take a walk Lucas" Dace spoke once again at the silent table.
A forced smile found Lucas’ lips as his eyes darted to me. "Forgive me, Emma" he muttered before rising to his feet and leaving.
"W-What’s wrong, is he okay?" I asked, suddenly worried.
"He’s fine just..." Dace paused and I gulped.
"You’re so quiet..."
I faced Emilia who still had her eyes on me, with that primal look. "...Inside your head" she tilts her head to the side. "And you’re alluring"
My features grew more puzzled. What does she mean by that? Luckily the waiter was back with my dish and the table fell silent again. The moment the waiter left she spoke again.
