Chapter 11 - Ten
LEO
A small yelp escapes my throat as oxygen gets lost somewhere in its way to my lungs as Erwin presses my body harder against his mountain-solid one. I am currently suffering an internal crisis just to prevent my blood from rushing to my cheeks.
Jean's eyes darken though his creepy smile remains intact. "Seems like you are quite fond of my nephew." He shoots a glance from the corner of his eyes to me, causing shivers washing over me, "Good for him. Please take care of him." Jean backs off to the crowd.
James casts a glare to my direction before following his father.
Such a daddy's boy.
I wave a sigh of relief as I see them disappear from my line of sight. Erwin's hand remains on my waist before he slowly releases me and I quickly step away from him.
Fortunately the guests are standing a bit far away from us, so they can see our actions but cannot hear our conversation. It's a relief that they can't hear because I have no intention to stain my good name before the public so that they can find a hot topic to discuss at their dining tables.
"What are you actually planning to do by grabbing that waist of his in public? Huh?" Ruth suddenly pipes up from only god knows where, breaking through the sensual tension between us.
"What are you trying to imply?" Erwin counters sharply. "He is my married husband. I can do whatever I want to do with him in front of whoever I want."
Something in his statement makes my heart flutter as I can feel my cheeks heat up.
