Chapter 52 Desire

• The cool evening air tousled my hair as I slowly rose to my feet, under the pressure of the man's desires. He offered me his hand, urging me to make this move, and I complied. I couldn't tear my gaze away from his shining eyes. They completely captivated my attention, making me replay Alan's last words in my head. He pulled me closer to him, his fingers buried in my hair, tightly gripping a strand at the nape of my neck. His face drew closer to mine, and just as our lips were about to touch, I said:
• " It's a draw. You lied to me for the last time."
• Shulgin froze and didn't move. The expression on his face remained unchanged for a long time, and I continued to watch him, trying to see confirmation of my words.
