He froze when he heard my voice and when his cold eyes fell into mine just like they always had done before, I felt heat swim in between my thighs.

He could still get a reaction out of me without even trying.

Why was his eyes so cold when they stared into mine? Why did he stare at me blankly? Did he not remember me?
