Chapter 91 - Preview of Volume 2 (2/2)

'Come on, Helen, this is not the time to be hypnotized'

My eyes tried to avert from the temptations his chest are offering. Why would he even unbutton his long sleeve polo?

"Eyes up here my lady"

And with that, I blush even harder.

What did he say earlier?

'Ah yes, that I am more beautiful when I'm crushing on him'

'Oh, how I wish it was only a mere crush but I think I'm falling for you deeply'

I shifted the topic, I love it when he teased me like that.

"T-thank you for yesterday," I said as his right hand landed on my waist. It feels comfortable when he's here, wrapping me into his broad body.

I inched my face closer, putting it back in its original position, I inhaled more of his scent.

His hands went into my long golden hair, stroking it slowly.

I like the color of my hair because it matches his.

"You are always welcome," he said, now slightly huskier.

Do I have that effect on you?

If only you can be completely mine...

Thank you for being my sanctuary, Hannibal.
