Chapter 109
The photo served as a memento of the occasion.
“I figured I’d come along.”
He glances over to me but returns to looking at the photos that piqued his interest. He leans closer to a specific one of me standing beside Meredith with a small smile on my face before raising his hand over it. His fingertips glide across the photo of me and a shudder simultaneously passed through me as he does.
“I’ve been deprived of you for far too long.”
The soft husk in his tone pulls out a gasp. A soft gasp that he didn’t notice. Or maybe he did, but just chose to ignore it. My breath hitches along with my heart rate speeding up unbelievably fast. But he keeps on walking like he doesn’t know how his words affect me.
I feel the desperate need to cough, to clear my throat and do pretty much anything to free us from this tension. He takes one last glance at the photo before shifting his attention to me.
“That dream of yours, was it good?”

Very.
“I wouldn’t know.”
I say quietly. I feel a spark of confidence wire into my brain. Confidence that would surely get me in trouble but for now, I went along with it. Raizel co cks an eyebrow at my response and tilts his head to the side. His chest moves up as he sucks in a heavy breath.
“Oh? And why is that?”
I shrug, walking around the desk until I reached the front. I pressed the heels of my palms onto the edge and leaned back.
Raizel watches me as I sit on the border. His body is half turned to face me.
“It cut short before it got to the good part.”
I explain, letting my gaze fall to the desk as if what I was saying really wasn’t that big of a deal. Raizel’s lips twitch upwards like he catches my insinuation but he holds himself down from making any remarks.
In three strides, he’s in front of me. I unconsciously press myself harder into the desk as I raise my eyes to meet his. I wasn’t going to back down, no matter how weak my knees felt.
The previous smile on his face wiped clean. Narrowed grey eyes stare down at me with no hint of breaking away.
His presence enwrapped around me like a little red bow.
His fingers the only thing that can undo the cords binding me toward him. Though I doubt he ever would, nor would I ever want him to.
“And what part would that be?”
Raizel’s voice comes softly. Almost like he’s coaxing me to tell the truth and admit to him what he and I both know, but in words. Each syllable and letter seduces me into the caress of his words. I never knew such a thing could even exist until I met him. Stubborn to hold onto any remaining humility in me, I give him a small smile to rival his expectant look.
“The part where I ask you what you expect to get by coming here.”
