Chapter 101
A Secret
My heart hammers in my chest as I hear the click of the doorknob. It only takes a second before Zaid's door swings open.
I can feel my breath hitch in my throat and he just stands there, staring at me like
I'm at ghost. His dark eyes flick over me, from my face to my toes.
It's slow, deliberate, hot. His jaw tightens, and I lick my lips as it draws my attention.
"Can I..." I hesitate, my voice quieter than I intended. "Can I spend the night with you?"
He doesn't answer immediately, and I press my lips together, wrapping my arms around myself, suddenly unsure. Should I just walk away?
His frown is slight, but it's there, barely noticeable if I weren't so attuned to him. He watches me for a long second, those dark eyes melting my insides. Then he exhales through his nose and steps aside, pushing the door open wider.
I walk in, feeling the heat of his presence behind me as the door clicks shut. The silence
settles around us is almost too much to bear. He walks around me, toward his bed, where he begins to pick up the books he has scattered across it.
I take in his appearance. His damp hair, the way his grey sweatpants sit low on his hips, the faint sheen of water still clinging to his skin. My gaze drifts lower, tracing the jagged
scars that stretch from his abdomen to his back and over his shoulder blades.
I swallow hard and finally break the silence. "You're upset."
Zaid shrugs, shaking his head.
"You are."
"Why would I be upset?" His voice is flat, carefully neutral.
I hesitate before whispering, "I'm sorry I pulled away from you."
He stiffens, keeping his gaze locked onto the floor.
My fingers tighten around the fabric of my shirt. "I just... I'm not sure I want your father
