Chapter 29

I couldn't move.

It felt like a magnet was pulling me closer to him and before I knew it, we were breathing the same air. Literally.

Maybe I didn't want to move.

He looked even more charming up close. His blue eyes had flecks of grey which I hadn't noticed before and I just realized how spotless his skin was.

His minty breath fanned my face and time seemed to stop as he stared at me, switching between my eyes and my lips.

I could almost see the wheels turning in his head as he weighed between what was right and wrong and in less than a second, he made his choice and leaned even closer.

But just before our lips could touch, I moved to the side, placing my lips a few centimeters from his ear.

He had made his choice but I hadn't made mine.

“You don't affect me,” I said, even though the slight tremble in my voice betrayed me because being this close to him and inhaling his sweet musky scent made my brain fuzzy.

I pulled away and he had a dark look in his eyes and his Adam's apple bobbed.
