Fearing she might wake Julius, she stayed silent. As soon as they crossed the threshold, she whispered urgently, “Put me down.”

But Arthur didn’t. He carried her straight into his private room, gently placing her beside the bed. He stood in front of her, his eyes never leaving her face.

Charlotte’s confusion only deepened. She glanced up at him, meeting his intense gaze. Now, there was a blaze in his eyes, an intense fervor that caused her heart to flutter wildly. She averted her gaze swiftly, as though the very sight of him could scorch her.
