Chapter 187 Recusant

• Raven's POV
• Embarrassment courses through my body as I race out of the hospital. I can't believe that I thought Leo was going to kiss me. Even more, I can't believe how much I wanted it. I wanted to feel his lips pressed against my own. As much as I tried to imagine what the kiss would be like, I cannot. Would he be gentle, or would his lips ravage mine?
• "Raven," I hear my father calling after me, and I slow my pace. Father catches up to me and wraps his arm around my shoulders. "Do you want to talk about it?"
