347 Just like that? (1/2)

The torment went on. This was even more tortuous than last night. The devil only knew how much he wanted to just leap towards her and enter her from behind. His dirty mind and his lust were like giant waves crashing on him, pushing him to go and grab her. But damn, if he did that, he would lose, and she would then think that all he wanted from her was her body! That would be the worst thing ever!

Curses and scoldings flooded Alex's head, and yet he couldn't make himself look away.

He continued watching her as the towel fell to the floor, revealing her smooth, bare back. She picked up a sexy nightgown, a black, short, spaghetti strap, lacy thing and Alex swallowed again as he watched this thin piece of material fall over her back, stopping at mid thigh height.

”Abigail…” he called out and Abi turned to see him not leaning against the headboard anymore. He was leaning forward, his elbow on top of his folded knee as his scorching eyes peeked through the strands of his dark hair.

She was reminded of that very first night with him where he had taken her up to that hotel room and told her to undress before him, only this time, she was in control.

”Hmm?” she innocently stared back and waited for the rest of his sentence. But the man didn't say any more words so she casually moved again and bent down to pick up her fallen towel in such a way that Alex could clearly see her lace-covered backside.

She had just straightened up when Alex finally left the bed. Her gaze flew towards him and she was about to smile but instead, she was shocked because he was heading towards the door - and it was not the bathroom door either.

Abi quickly ran towards the door to block his way.

”Where are you going?”

”I changed my mind. Let's go back to the city tonight.”

Her brows creased at him. If it was this afternoon, Abi would have definitely agreed to that because back then, she thought that the source of her unease was because they were still close to the village. But now that she realized the real source of her unease, she didn't like this idea anymore. She didn't know why but this was what her gut was telling her and that was why she was trying to delay it now. That also meant that it would be morning when they arrived and during the day was the safest time for them to arrive as vampires and witches were weak during the day.

”But why? You were the one who insisted for us to stay here for the night.”

”Well, I changed my mind.”

”No. We'll spend the night here, Alex.”

A smirk flashed on Alex's face and he bent closer.
