Shackled (The Lord Series)
86. Angel
I look at him and…holy back. He is…lickable and f uckable. Did 1 just think that? I need a cold shower. Several cold showers. “No need to worry about
“I don’t mind,” he insists.
“What about your wife?” I retort
He shows me his left ring finger. “I don’t have one but I hope that will change soon.”
*So you h
have a girlfriend then?”
“That is why I came here,” he says. “I heard that beautiful women live here.”
“Good luck finding one.”
“I already did.”
He is definitely not referring to me. I shrug and continue walking, I should have brought my bike so I would not have to deal with unwanted male attention
The man follows me. “You are stubborn,” he huffs,
to a man for
“No, I am Soda.” Not entirely lie, as this is the name I now use. It wasn’t my intention to tell him my name, but it’s been a while since I have spoken to a more than two sentences. I mustly spend my time at home.
He laughs. “I am Max.”
“Well, Max, have fun in
Falma.” I try to walk faster, and Max does the same. “Why are you following me?”
“I want to be sure you get home safely.”
“The island is very safe.”
“You never know,” he keeps arguing.
Using his logic against him, I say, “How can I be sure you won’t hurt me?”
“Only cowards would harm a
woman.”
“And what are
“The one that wants to see all the cowards suffer. Will you let me
me carry your backpack now?”
remove my backpack, and give it to him. “Do you like beef stew?”
What prompted me to ask that? St upid, Angel, stu pid. You know nothing about this person. He could be lying to me and be married.

“Are you inviting me to lunch?”
“Are you really single
“I don’t have a habit of telling lies to beautiful women.”
“What about ugly ones?”
Max thinks for a mo
a moment before saying. “Beguty is in the eye of the beholder.”
“That is bulls hit, and you know it”

“Women are not ugly, they are only not loved.”
I narrow my eyes. “What do you mean by that?”
“That men are st upid and don’t see the worth of women. With patience and love, any stone can become a diamond.”
I snort. “I don’t think you are patient.”
Max chackles. “I am not, but I love fiercely.“
I am single, he is single. What can go wrong? I should not do this.
We walk in silence until my house comes into sight. “I don’t like eating alone. But I have to warn you, I am a terrible chef.”
“How about 1 help you?”
I smile. “I would love that”
“You should smile more, it suits you.”
“I haven’t had a lot of reasons to smile in my life.”
We reach my house and stop in front of the door. “Not even a man?”
“There was one, but he doesn’t want me anymore.” Three of them actually, but I don’t say that out loud, not wanting to open a can of worms.
Max gently strokes my hair. It grew enough to have it pixie-styled. “He is a fool. If you were mine…” he murmurs.
Why am I enjoying this conversation so much? “If I were yours?” I want to know,
“I would not be a fool.”
My breath catches in my throat. “We are strangers.”
“I want to know you. The real you.
A shiver runs down my spine. “I don’t think I can
“I am scared”
(“Trust me.”
My head starts to spin. “This is going too fast.”
“We can take things slow. We start with lunch and
for lunch.
“It’s still early for
“Do you want me to return later?”
“Yes. No.” I sigh “I don’t know”
He chuckles softly. “How about we leave the backpack inside, and you show me around here?”
“This is a bad
