[Rue’s POV]
I can feel his stare. Even if he is looking straight ahead while he leads us toward the castle that sits in the middle of the island that we are currently on, I can still feel it. How could I not when I was already overly sensitive to everything he did since earlier?
To say that I was surprised when our faces were so close earlier was an understatement. I was completely shaken, and when those dark eyes of his took me in with that strange look, I was certain that maybe, just maybe, he felt something.
But even if he did, so what?
He was married to my mother and there was no chance that anything could ever happen between us; at least, that was what I kept telling myself while my desires to get to feel his lips, his hands, and his skin against mine kept growing.
Oh, what a sin
