Chapter 43: Royally Fucked Over

Even with my heart lodged in my throat and my stomach being in tight knots, I swallowed emptily as I slowly lifted my head up, gaze dragging over his ripped stomach and chest to pause at his neck.
This was it.
I said to myself while dread consumed every part of my being.
I knew I was technically disobeying him right now by not staring up at him like he had ordered me to, but I just couldn’t bring myself to actually do that, seeing as I’d be giving myself away if I do.
"Bunny."
It was a single word which came out lower than I expected, but that made my heart pound even faster. It was the new wave of fear that prompted me into lifting my head up completely, eyes squeezed close.
After a few seconds, I slowly blinked my eyes open and Blaze came into focus after a few moments.
He was staring down at me with his dark eyes, gaze so intense, it made my knees feel like jelly.
When his hand came out and a single thumb settled on my cheek, I felt my breathing pattern scatter at once. I held my breath, heart racing in nervousness as I held his gaze, which soon became too intense for me.
When I tried to avert my gaze, his finger was suddenly underneath my chin, preventing thst from happening, and at once, my heartbeat instantly accelerated even more. His touch underneath my chin felt heated and searing, it made my grip on my shirt even more.
