Chapter 18

Aubrey

I gulped as he walked towards me like a predator to a prey, his eyes darkening with each step he took and my heart pounding in return.

I gasped as my back hit the wall and he closed in on me, his eyes glinting with anger as he held my throat in his hand.

A strange feeling filled me as his big hand held my throat possessively and my fear tangled with something more dangerous between my thighs.

A growl left his lips as he tightened his grip, but not hurting me. “What the hell are you doing in my room, Aubrey? And don’t you lie to me, I can feel your pulse.”

I tried to swallow but it was hard as his hand restricted my airflow. “I just came to drop your laundry.”

He raised his perfect brow. “Oh really? Isn’t that convenient?”

“I’m telling the truth!” I spoke up loudly and he froze.

He walked closer to me so that his body was close to mine and my eyes dropped to his shirtless body, causing my heart to pound loudly in my chest.

“You know you are in deep trouble, don’t you, Aubrey?”
