Chapter 0543

Our faces were inches apart. The intimate sound of our breaths tangled, slipping directly into each other's ears. The faint scent of tobacco grew increasingly heated. Unable to bear it, I shoved him hard.

Nicholas' dark eyes held a faint red glow, and his entire body seemed taut with restrained heat. For a moment, I thought he might snap and tear away the barriers separating us.

I pressed my lips tightly together. I didn't dare to utter another word under the weight of his predatory stare.

Nicholas didn't seem to care for a reply. He turned and strode off, opening one door after another on the first floor as if he owned the place.
