A DREADFUL JOKE
•••••MIRA'S POV•••••
Ronan stepped forward, and instinctively, I started moving backward.
One step.
Then another.
Fear curled tighter in my stomach with each step he took toward me until my back finally hit the nearest wall.
"Stay away from me," I blurted out, crossing my arms tightly over my chest as I pressed myself harder against the wall, squeezing my eyes shut.
I felt him stop dangerously close.
Slowly, I cracked my eyes open. Ronan leaned down slightly, his gaze fixed on my neck. His eyes searched the area intensely, almost like he expected to find something hidden there.
Or someone else's mark.
His stare remained for a few seconds before the tension in his face eased a little. Then he suddenly stepped back like his behavior hadn't been weird at all.
