Chapter 143

• Roshene watched him after hanging up the call for several minutes. She stayed pensive for a few seconds after ending the call, but in a quick blink, he turned and locked eyes with her. They connected and he walked towards her. It seemed like everything was happening in slow motion and they never lost eye contact. She felt in danger as she watched him approach, her legs felt weak and her body trembled.
• For a few moments, while the game lasted, the tension and unease they felt when together had lessened. However, it was now back, even stronger than before. That tension, that pressure, that chemistry, that strong attraction they both didn't want to acknowledge, it was there and growing stronger every day. It was as dangerous as it was fascinating and addictive.
• Max stopped just a meter away and without any explanation, they stood there, looking at each other, motionless, not saying a word, as if they were the only two people in the world. Their eyes were bright, shining intensely, although deep down, they reflected fear, fear of the forbidden feelings they were starting to experience.
