Chapter 452: Forming Bond
EMMA
~
I stood in front of the mirror, sliding my hands down my hips. I wore a green plain silk slender gown that matched my eyes. My hair was perfectly styled by the stylist who came earlier. Packed in a bun laced around with my curly hair, giving the front a smooth texture, some curly strands of my hair let out to fall at the side of my face. My makeup was done really well too, just as I like it, not too prominent with a fitting shade of lipstick.
Dace made sure everything was perfect for me down to the last detail, I felt like a princess as they got me ready. Now I stand in front of the mirror admiring myself, I just tried on my gown and it was a flawless fit, but I was having a hard time reaching the invisible zip behind.
I heard approaching footsteps and my eyes found the mirror again. Dace stood close to the door with one hand in his pants and the other holding his suit jacket. His heated gaze remained fixated on me and suddenly it was like I couldn’t breathe. His eyes said a lot I couldn’t begin to comprehend, those golden orbs on me were ethereal.
I am still hung over about what happened. The sex, his declaration, when he saw my scar and I shattered knowing I couldn’t tell him. And then he promised not to ask. Hearing each other’s thoughts and feeling each other’s emotions and our heartbeats beating at the same peak like they were connected. So much happened in the span of a few hours and I can’t keep up.
Dace doesn’t know this but I think our bond is being rewritten, I don’t know if it’s possible or not I just have a strong hunch it was the reason for all this. Whatever it is I am sure Emilia will know something about it. This is why the sooner we can get back to Juneau the better.
"You look beautiful"
My cheeks heated instantly and I didn’t bother to hide it, it was no use when it came to Dace Devereaux, now he can see all parts of myself and I am afraid he will see deeper and uncover what remains to be hidden. In all honesty, I don’t want him to find out the reason for my death.
Dace: I don’t want anyone else to see you in that dress, if they look I will burn their eyes out.
I shivered when his voice echoed in my ears and he walked towards me, tossing his jacket to the bed he came behind me and towered like a beast covering my entire space but I have never felt more safe. His aura gave me nothing but warmth too, erasing whatever coldness I felt.
