Chapter 287

“Are you feeling alright?” he murmured with genuine concern shining in his dark eyes. “Do you think that this has something to do with your nearsightedness? Could it be a symptom of something more serious?”

His anxiety shocked me. I blinked up at him as guilt settled low in my stomach. Alexander seemed actually worried for me. His woodsy scent surrounded me, lowering my inhibitions, and I began to lean forward and tilt my head to the side before I could think better of it.

Surprise flickered in his eyes, but he followed my lead. His hand slowly traveled down, and he cupped the back of my hot neck, warming it even further.

Right before our lips touched, my rational side took over, and I pulled away abruptly. I scooted away from him until our bodies were no longer touching.

Alexander studied me for a moment, and then his gaze seemed determined, like he had made a decision about something. Weariness filled me, and my instincts were correct because a second later, he reached for me and grabbed my waist with his warm hands.

“What are you doing?” I squeaked as an electric bolt went down my spine. My head was spinning from his touch, and my legs began to tremble as memories of his hands roaming my body last night flashed into my mind.
