CHAPTER FOUR

Riley widened her eyes and her nose flared in fear . What was going on ? A mountain of a man , huge and hard all over , from the outline and ridges of muscles shown in his tailored suit . His tie had been loosened, and his purple Iris was scanning the floor . Although Martha was sheathing her from the view of him , he was just too huge and too handsome for his presence to be diminished by a simple sheath. Her breath caught in her throat , when one lock of his thick brown hair fell and shrouded a bit of his face . The shadow , outlining the sculpted jaw and supple lips . "Holy moly . " He was handsome as sin . But he also carried a sufficient amount of mystery with him , his gazes swimming all over her , warmed her cheek and tainted them with pink . His mouth seemed to be saying one word. "Mine . " She gripped the handle of her chair , decorated with lace and beads. Just last week , Anastasia had replaced all the dull brown with bright pink and blue . Martha was just a tad bit close to screaming the whole hall down , asking him to move from the way . Flinging her hands at him and pointing her fingers to his nose . And oh God , his nose . His perfectly pointed and bridged nose was also another subject of fascination . His intense gaze washed all over her again , setting her heart to beat at an unsteady rate, which, by any luck, if kept on she'd have an attack, no doubt. With barely a flick of his palm , he sent Martha two feet away and resumed his steady pace towards her . Martha regained control as her eyes widened in horror . She moved to stand behind her , and began to yell at him . Again . "Are you quite well sir ?? . " She blurted out , just as her face burst into an alarming shade of scarlet . She gripped the hem of Martha's flowered dress , and tried not to stare at him. He closed his eyes for a second , taking a deep sniff of the air and appearing intoxicated to the Riley widened her eyes and her nose flared in fear . What was going on ?

She gripped the hem of Martha's flowered dress , and tried not to stare at him. He closed his eyes for a second , taking a deep sniff of the air and appearing intoxicated with his bare eyes . He opened his eyes again , and a surprised gasp flew out of his mouth . They are grey ! His pupils are grey . The coldest and emptiest one yet in history . Yet , that wasn't the cause of her panic !! They were purple just now ! . Bright and gleaming purple , filled with intensity and fire . Another man , handsome and steady, stood in front of him. Acting as a barrier between them . Riley had the chance to look away , and glance at her surroundings. Sure enough , a few crowds had begun to gather . Mainly consisting of young girls like herself, giggling and talking and pointing to a somewhat Greek god in front of them . "Oh my God , isn't he such an eye-catching, mouth-watering thing ever ?? . " One said , with a dreamy look on her face . Mouth watering? Riley almost laughed . As absurd as it sounds. And just like that , the three men headed outside . When did the third one arrive ? That she did not know . It wasn't possible to know , to even remember your own name clearly , when placed under scrutiny like that . Under that burning and scathing intensity . Martha grabbed the back of her wheelchair and began to help her out of the mall . She said nothing about the bizarre situation that they had just faced . "Do you think , do you think he's on drugs ?? " She asked breathlessly . All the air had been knocked out of her lungs at the locking of their eyes . Something still seems off. When she first had the chance of glimpsing into his eyes , they were purple. Burning with such great intensity . But then , after closing and opening, his eyes returned . They were grey. " Aye , young mistress. Aye . Do you see the look on his face ?? He looked as if he wanted to swallow you whole, " Martha said . Riley burned again , remembering the look on his face . As if he had found his long lost lover "And rude even . He pushed me. My lady ! He pushed me away. And was walking like a snail towards you . He must be foxed . He must be high . " Martha concluded , with a shake of her head. "Martha did you see ?? . " She bit her lips and asked . A bad habit of hers , whenever she was nervous . "What , my lady ?? " " He had purple eyes . " She whispered . It sounded unbelievable, even to her own ears, but she knew what she saw . She couldn't have be confused now , could she ?? "No , I believe not . He had a strange eye . Fine, but purple wasn't it . Twas grey ! Yes , such a cold one too . " She shuddered ,as if thinking about them gave her the chills . Riley nodded , and tried to put her mind off it . But a word , that little one , kept ringing in her ears . "Mine . " He had called her "his " . The thought made her giddy. What a weird day today was. First , she woke up in the morning and decided that she would spend the rest of the day shopping . And that ?? It doesn't happen quite often .
