Chapter 51 - 51 Offer me something in return
"ahhhh...." Kyra's eyes widened in terror, and a sharp gasp escaped her lips. Before she could react, Vincent swiftly covered her mouth with his hand, their eyes locking through the mirror.
"Shh... it's me," Vincent's voice came out in a hushed tone. Kyra could feel his presence behind her, his strong body pressing against her back. The scent of his masculine pheromones surrounded her, overwhelming her senses.
She couldn't ignore the obvious truth. Even though she was scared, there was something about Vincent pulling her in. How could she not feel anything right now?
Seeing her obedient, Vincent rewarded her with a chilling smile and released his grip on her mouth.
"What are you doing here?" Kyra asked, her voice trembling, as she rubbed her chest. When she saw the dark shadow in the mirror, she was scared. She had always been afraid of ghosts.
Vincent glanced at her, concern etching his features. "Are you okay?" he asked, his eyes scanning her face, taking in her fear-stricken expression.
Kyra observed him, her suspicion growing. She couldn't help but notice that he was behaving strangely normal around her, which was a stark contrast to the angry and hot-tempered Snake who had nearly wanted to kill her before. There was an unspoken tension between them, an undercurrent of something she couldn't quite put her finger on.
"Yeah, I'm okay," she replied, raising an eyebrow. "But are you okay?" she inquired.
Vincent furrowed his brow, caught off guard by her question. "Why wouldn't I be?" he retorted, his tone slightly defensive.
