Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 364

Victor pulled a pack of cigarettes from the console, slipped one out, and twirled his lighter deftly between his fingers. The blue flame flickered to life, illuminating the shadows inside the car. As if suddenly remembering something, Victor snapped the lighter shut. He tossed both the cigarette and the lighter out the window without hesitation.

Isadora sat in the passenger seat, stealing a glance at him. His profile was all sharp angles and striking lines, eyes deep-set and intense, his jaw almost too perfectly chiseled. Whatever he was feeling, he kept it buried deep-his expression gave nothing away.

She broke the silence. "Are you angry?"

"Hm?"

Victor turned his gaze to her, his eyes dark and unreadable, the blue in them deep as midnight. "Not angry."

He was jealous.

Without another word, Victor reached over and pulled Isadora into his lap, settling her across his thighs.

His dark gaze locked onto her, unmoving, tracing every feature of her beautiful face. For a long moment, he simply stared, as if he could memorize her with his eyes alone.
