Chapter 38 Erotic Love

• NIA’S POV
• The ride back to the packhouse felt strained. I kept stealing glances at Kingston. To say I am shocked is an understatement. I never thought he would harbor such feelings towards me. I get that he meant no harm, but that doesn't make it comforting. I had called him my brother, acted childish in front of him, and even went as far as showing him part of my skin whenever I had some rash there. How did I not notice the extra attention he always pays to me? I feel so bad for not being able to conjure a sentence to everything he said, as much as he tries to hide it. The unhappiness is so apparent.
• "I never thought you harbored a different kind of affection towards me. I don't think I will be able to reciprocate it." I said after a lifetime of silence.
