Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 326

Sylvia followed Rupert's gaze, only to realize her sweater had somehow hooked itself onto his belt buckle.

Any slight move from him, and her shirt would ride up.

Flustered, she tried to tug her sweater free, but her hand accidentally landed somewhere it really shouldn't have.

The next instant, Rupert's hand closed firmly around her wrist.

His lips pressed into a hard line, his eyes smoldering in the dim light-he looked like a wolf holding himself back.

He growled, every word deliberate: "Don't move."

Sylvia felt the tension in his body, her eyes widening in shock. Sweat prickled along her hairline as she fumbled even more desperately to unhook her sweater.
