Chapter 143: A Man And A Woman
"What are you doing here?" she snapped and Damon raised a brow, his lips slowly curling.
"This is my house." he reminded her as he took her presence. Her hair was a little messy but she was wearing an outdoor dress. "Were you planning to go out in the middle of the night?" he noticed a book in her hands and his eyes narrowed. It was his book. He was reading it last night and left it in the library. He was going to retrieve it today.
"No, I was just reading in the cold wind. The weather was hot today." he remembered the cold winds and wearing a duvet well. She must be hot! He smiled at her.
"Was it? But can you read in such dark weather?" he smiled and took a step closer. Olivia had a strong desire to take the step back, but she did not. She mustered all her courage to stand there and watch him.
She shivered when he touched her hands and took the book from it. It must be cold!?
"Give it back to me." she demanded when he flipped the pages randomly. Her voice rose and he found a note there.
He took it out from the book and opened it. She took a step closer and raised her hand to snatch it. But he held her hand tightly while the note went back in the book.
"Are you hiding something, my lady?" he asked mildly. Not at all worried about her suspicious behavior yet his eyes made her intimidated.
Her eyes hardened and she wriggled to get her hands free but his grip was tight like a vice. She froze, her fingertips hovering a fraction away from the note. her pulse suddenly in her mouth.
