Chapter 8 - Mistaken (2/2)

It directly hit her sore spot. Why was he doing this to her? Wait. How come he knew Jasper?

”You …” But Luna couldn't let the words out. How could she defend herself when what he'd said was the truth?

Hero looked at her intensely. His cold eyes looked straight into her hazel ones. Luna fearlessly held their eye contact. She couldn't allow him to intimidate her. He could not force her to be his woman.

He was really amused that this woman dared to defy him. His eyes then noticed the dress she was wearing beneath her coat.

”You were wearing that?” His eyes flared and began to shine with delight. She wasn't wearing a skimpy dress, and yet that dress was enough to emphasize her lovely curves and shapely legs.

He sauntered towards her, and Luna panicked. She saw the mischievous glint in his eyes and could see his muscles twitching as he came after her.

”Stop. Please let me go,” she begged. No, she should not let him have her way with her. She wasn't that crazy to repeat that mistake that shouldn't have happened in the first place. She backed away until she hit the wall and couldn't escape his hovering stature.

”Look. I really should go. Let's pretend that this never happened.” Luna steadfastly met his scrutinizing eyes. She kept her mental chant that she wouldn't fall for his charm.

”I told you, I'm not yet done with you, woman.”

Her eyebrows shot upwards. Was he really serious?

”I can't believe you mistook me for him,” Hero started. ”He's at least six inches shorter than I am. His body couldn't even be compared to mine.” He was annoyed. It was one thing that he couldn't accept.

That sounds very narcissistic, but Luna couldn't find in herself to disagree. Jasper and this handsome man were poles apart. Aside from the physical differences, this man was demanding and cold while her boyfriend was warm and understanding.

”You were lying on the bed. How am I supposed to know you aren't him?” she said through her gritted teeth.

Hero chuckled. This woman surely was something he'd never encountered before.
