ASHIYA… “Y-YOU…” My words were cut as I stared into Damon’s smiling eyes. I am eloquent. I can always offer intelligent words in a short amount of time. If I didn’t like the man’s presence, I have a template prepared for him. But I don’t know what to say to Damon. Do I really want to drive him away? I swallowed as I surveyed his attire. He is not in his black suit, but he is tantalizing even in his striped black and white polo. It traces his broad chest. His white khaki pants showed off his legs that looked strong and athletic. He is hovering over me. I shrunk. And when I took a breath, I inhaled his manly cologne and natural scent mixed with the sea breeze. I felt like floating for a moment. He was embracing me without touching me. I am torn. I want him to stay. I want his eyes on me.
