Chapter 392: Tempting Flame {2}
I hated that my body reacted to his words, like hot flames dancing against my skin, a pool between my legs, and the fast beating of my heart. I could already picture it... he might have made it sound like a threat but it got my body wanting something I shouldn’t.
Something sinfully sweet.
"T-That doesn’t relate to torture"
Shit! Now I was even stuttering in my words? I can’t remember the last time that trait of mine happened. But I guess with Dace that side of me will always be bound to come out because of the way he makes me feel.
But I won’t acknowledge it. I can’t. This feeling should have died with me a long time ago.
He smirked and I hated my heart skipped a beat. "Why do I get the feeling you react to it"
"I don’t" My teeth clenched and suddenly I felt the strong urge to slap that grin off his face, but my hands remained rooted to my sides paralyzed by his stare. But I can’t stay rooted here for long or else I will do something I will regret. So I willed my body as best as I could even though the bite mark on my shoulder stung from the magic coursing through my veins. It was still hindering my powers and it was excruciating and painful as I tried to go against it.
I hate pain.
But I hate this situation even more.
