Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina)

Chapter 57

Alone Time-2

As I'm reaching for the dress, the sound of the door clicking and hinges squeaking draws my attention.

I pull the dress, hanger and all, pressing it to my chest as I spin around to yell at whoever is it opening my door. My heart catches in my throat and I stifle the scream itching to get out when I see it is Zaid, slipping inside and closing the door quickly.

His fingers press to my lips, silencing me before I can say a word.

I'm gaping like a fish out of water, my blood boiling beneath my skin and my heart pounding in my chest.

He keeps his fingers against my lips as he leans back, his dark eyes scanning me in a way that feels too intense, too personal. His gaze flickers downward, and I realize he's noticed the state of my dress, or lack of it. The green fabric is hanging loosely from my hands. It's only covering my chest, exposing the tops of my shoulders and collarbone, my legs and waist only disrupted by the pair of nude underwear.

Heat floods my cheeks as I yank the fabric tighter around me, pulling my face away from

his fingers.

A slow smirk lifts his lips, and he cocks his head.

I swallow, the dressing room feeling impossibly smaller. I glare at him, trying to steady my voice even though my heart is racing. "What the hell are you doing?" I hiss.

He shrugs, leaning casually against the door like he owns the place. "We won't get another chance to talk."

"Talk about what?" I snap, tightening the dress against my chest.

He takes a step closer, his smirk fading into something more serious.

His dark hair is slightly messy, and it falls over his brows. It makes him all the

more infuriatingly good-looking. I hate that I notice that.

I try to step away, the back of my knees hitting the edge of the bench.
