Chapter 262

• There’s a slight gasp as a sudden hand catches her elbow in passing and tugs her to a halt unexpectedly. She almost drops the plants and stumbles slightly before catching herself. Head swiveling towards him as anger peaks out.
• “What are you doing? Let go.” She snaps at him, dropping the pot she has in her hand, but he smoothly catches it for her with his free hand and places it on the table by the door. Eyes never leaving hers, and that yearning aura hitches another thirty degrees.
• “Let’s go talk.” He leans back to try and look her in the face as she dodges him by trying to walk forward, but she turns away moodily. She holds the remaining pot even tighter and refuses to back down. He has no idea how much of a wall Carmen can build, and winning her over won’t be that simple. If anyone can ignore an imprint bond and hold out for a long time, it’s her.
