Chapter 108 First Phase: Distraction Strategies

• Cathaysa.
• I understood Duff's nervousness about the joke I made with Marcos, I don't know why, but I wouldn't like it if my highlander talked to me about other women, especially in the terms that I did, "Love of my life". Maybe it was because my body felt it as mine, he was my first and only lover, and I was his, and this was rare for a man, very rare.
• He must have had his reasons, and I hoped he would trust me enough to tell me. I saw his nerves growing, to the point where he couldn't even hold my gaze anymore, and it was even worse when he discovered who Marcos was, a mask I had never seen before worried me, I knew he would distance himself from me, he didn't smile, nor did he look at me with that gaze of a man trained for battle who knew what he wanted and went for it, I saw fear and insecurity. And I didn't like seeing my highlander like that. That man wasn't like that, he was confident, commanding, even maddening, and not just because of desire, I knew that on more than one occasion he would make me burn with anger, and we would have more than one argument, thanks to his stubbornness and my lack of emotional control. It would be a fun marriage.
