Chapter 55: Picnic

I woke up early this morning to prepare the food we needed for our picnic. I made sure that I woke up before Desmond so I could handle everything.

But I hadn't gotten started yet when Desmond arrived. "Good morning," he greeted. "You're early, seraphim."

I wanted to retort back but I realized it was way better to have him. My heart flipped upside down when he settled beside me.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Desmond asked.

"Stay away." I distanced myself away from him.

As stubborn as he was, Desmond went beside me. Our skin grazed each other making me feel shivers down my spine.

"Desmond..." I almost growled in annoyance.

"I want to help." He smiled sheepishly. Then his face drew closer to me. "What food should we prepare, seraphim?" he asked in his dark hoarse voice. I didn't answer him, rolling my eyes. "Can I have you for myself?"

I glared at him, realizing that this man was pestering me until he got what he wanted. And was he trying to seduce me with that action of his?
