Chapter 23 Something Special

• Lucia sprouted up from her seat as Eros' solid structure stood by the door. He was dressed in a vintage shirt and plain black pants, his hands were shoved into his pockets. He was always dressed in vintage shirts with the few first buttons left open , giving a peek at his chiseled chest.
• His eyes were on her and they burned her soul. It was high time she stopped acknowledging how good-looking he was and focus on the resentment she felt for him. Then he started walking into the room, his shoes hitting the hard floor. Lucia was already shaking like a leaf in winter and Bully stood with his hand clutched behind him.
• Cassandra could feel the magnitude of his presence. She slowly stood up as he moved closer to her, his eyes never leaving her. She lowered her gaze, unable to keep up with the sharpness of his eyes. He reached out to her, held her chin with his fingers and raised it up so that her eyes meet him. She felt her knees melting as their eyes locked. She quickly grabbed the table for support. A strange surge shot through her and it was almost painful. Why was this happening to her? Why does a man she hated so much have this effect on her? It wasn't only about his looks.
