Chapter 336

• Fifteen minutes didn't seem like a long time but time dragged for Lily as the house suddenly emptied and she was left alone with Mac. She heard him come downstairs and go into the study. He must have known she was still in the sitting room, but he hadn't looked in or called her to follow him. Swallowing hard, she approached the study door and knocked before entering.
• Mac was sitting behind his desk, his long hair loose and falling over his shoulders in silky waves. His eyes were fixed firmly on hers but there was no warmth in their dark depths. His expression was the perfect bland mask that vampires managed to master over their very long lives. He looked so beautiful but he also looked deadly.
• He reminded her of her father when he was displeased with something she'd done and she felt her heart kick up a beat as she walked further into the room after closing the door behind her.
