Chapter 24 Twenty Three

• The silence of my room was only broken by the rapid beat of my heart and the knot in my stomach, both caused by what Zevran did to me. I lay there, wide awake, unable to sleep. I couldn't believe what had happened, and the memory of that night played in my head like an annoying chicken dance.
• No matter how I shifted my body, I couldn't shake the memory of his lips on mine, and the taste of alcohol still lingered in my mouth. I was frustrated and angry, screaming inside my head and gasping for air.
• His kiss kept flashing in my mind, and it felt like my own mind was betraying me. I couldn't take it anymore. I sat up in bed, feeling grumpy and annoyed. I reached for my phone on the nightstand, hoping to distract myself and finally get some sleep.
