The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 136

~CLARISSA~

“You’re sure no one can see my tattoo?” I ask Autumn for the tenth time. She’d made me ditch the cover-up. Apparently, she had the kind of makeup that was really good at concealing tattoos. I’d checked the mirror several times on my own and didn’t see anything to worry about. However, I was afraid it would come off in the water.

Autumn, however, promised me that I didn’t have to worry. She said that it was waterproof. I had to hope that she knew what she was talking about. But so far, I knew I could trust Autumn. She never lets me down.

But if the water, by some miracle, washes it off, I would be in plenty of trouble. There would be too many people around to hide it from.

I was hoping that this would upset Damon. Since I walked freely without my coverup, he would be convinced that the tattoo was gone. I knew it would take something drastic like this to make Damon snap. I just had to hope that this plan worked, unlike all others.

Willow looked absolutely beautiful in the black bikini Autumn had chosen for her. According to her, it’s the first time she’s ever worn one.

I felt sorry for Willow. She didn’t have a normal life. Her mother and sister locked her up at home most of the time. She didn’t have any friends; at least she had us now. My family was good at making someone like her feel welcomed and protected.

I wanted to see Dante’s reaction to her; I wanted to know if he felt anything at all toward her. However, the second I stepped closer to the ocean, the first person my eyes fell on was Damon.

He was already looking at me; I felt a tingle in my skin at the longing in his gaze.

I still couldn’t believe what he’d said to me earlier. He’s never been that open with me before. He was always good at hiding his true feelings.

Did my scent really have such a strong effect on him? How long has this been happening?
