Chapter 48

• I don’t know who’s in control of this anymore or if I ever was. I might have had to convince him, but he’s the one who leads me to my room. I can’t believe this is happening. That was the biggest gamble I’ve ever taken, and my legs are still shaking from nerves. But it worked. It actually worked, and he’s turning to face me.
• I can’t believe he’s standing in front of me like this, staring at me, taking in every inch of my bare skin. Goose bumps rise over my arms, and I shiver, but I’m not cold. In fact, my skin is flushed and getting warmer the longer I stand here, waiting.
