Chapter 103

At Victor's words, Isadora's eyelashes fluttered, her hands twitching at her sides. She couldn't quite put her feelings into words-her heart just trembled twice, almost involuntarily.

"Why me?" she asked softly.

"I told you I'm interested in your body."

Isadora understood: most men had a possessive streak about things they'd already claimed. Besides, Victor had once said their chemistry was undeniable. That, she figured, was why he was making this proposal.

Victor's breathing grew shallow, his gaze fixed on her, unwavering.

Then, Isadora looked up. Her clear eyes met Victor's. "Alright."

The darkness in Victor's eyes flared, a barely contained intensity shining through.
