Chapter 33

Chapter 33 To Make Her Reconsider Her Current...

Freya locked eyes with Kristian, defiance blazing in her gaze, "Want me to knock some sense into you?" The challenge hung in the air between them.

Kristian fell silent, his thoughts whirling in the stillness that followed.

Something had shifted-perhaps the tension had dissolved slightly, or maybe the room's soft, muted lighting

cast an enchanting spell-but he found himself magnetically drawn to her.

Their six-month separation into different beds had created a chasm between them, eliminating both physical

closeness and intimacy.

He approached her deliberately, each step closing the distance as an invisible aura seemed to shimmer around

her form.

Freya's brow creased with subtle disapproval, discomfort evident in her posture. "I have things to do," she announced, attempting to break the building tension.

"Don't tell me you don't know what it means when Edwin arranged for you to be here with me." Kristian's voice deepened as his breathing grew heavier, his eyes darkening with intensity. "Do you think I'll let you leave

now?"

Freya met his stare head-on. "Are you saying you want to sleep with me?"

Kristian edged closer, catching the fresh scent that emanated from her skin. His voice dropped to a husky

whisper. "Yes."

Freya remained wordless, her silence heavy with meaning.

Just as she prepared to dismiss him, strong arms lifted her suddenly, depositing her onto the soft surface of

the bed.

"Kristian..." His name escaped her lips as a warning.

"Don't speak." Kristian's towering figure loomed above, his arms creating a cage around her slender frame.

Their faces hovered mere inches apart, their breaths intermingling in the charged space between them.

Freya sensed the heat radiating from his body, increasing by the second. Having shared eighteen months of marriage and a bed with him, she recognized this particular response all too well.

"You've been quite the troublemaker lately, haven't you?" Kristian murmured, his breath brushing against her cheek. "There were times I wanted to drag you home and set you straight."

Freya didn't flinch or look away.
