Chapter 168

• Serafina
• My body went hot and cold as he prowled toward me like some kind of beautiful nightmare. His dark eyes were focused in on mine, and they burned with so many emotions I didn't know how he kept from spontaneously combusting. I saw now why he hid behind those dark glasses. Everything he felt—every want, every need, every fear, every raw desire—showed themselves in those eyes. They hid nothing from me. Internally, he was on fire. And what he burned for right now was me.
• And it both excited and terrified me all at once.
