Sleep with him?

Noella glanced up at Palmer, who was standing in front of her. Only a dim nightlight lit the room, casting a seductive glow around his features. His intense gaze sent a wave of nervousness through her.

“Yeah, but climbing through windows is exhausting.”

Exhausting? Was it her fault he’d decided to scale her balcony in the middle of the night?

“You promised to spend the day with me, remember, Noella?”

She did forget their date because of her visit to see Elara at Emerald County. She’d indeed agreed to a whole day’s outing with Palmer.

Noella replied calmly, “Tomorrow.”

“No can do. Tomorrow’s the Gruber family’s gemstone auction. That hardly counts as a date.”

Palmer chuckled softly, so close that Noella felt his breath on her face. The man was a walking pheromone, his voice like a siren’s call.

Noella’s cheeks flamed, and she subtly shifted back. “Alright, fine.”

Palmer leaned in closer, his voice husky. “Can I kiss you?”

Her heart raced, and her face burned hotter.

The sound of a door opening and voices interrupted the intimate atmosphere.

“Noella, can I crash here tonight? I can’t seem to fall asleep…”

Elara had pushed open Noella’s bedroom door while speaking, flipping on the light to reveal a startling scene.
