The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Abraham’s warm fingers brushed the corner of her eyes. “Save that look for later,” he said in a low, suggestive voice.

Abraham sighed, exasperated. Without another word, he got up and quickly left the room.

But as he turned. Stella caught a glimpse of him tugging his shirt down–almost deliberately as if trying to cover something…
