Outburst [74]

"Then I'll. . ." Too mesmerized and frightened at the same time I lost my words midway.

"Go ahead. I'm waiting." He encouraged me to speak. "You'll what Katherine?" 

I was so enamored by his beauty that I had lost my voice somewhere and had drifted into an oblivion. His marvelous crystal like eyes seemed to evoke an emotional outburst inside me. Peace. Desire. Euphoria. I wasn't sure what I felt but it was almost compelling and bewitching. His eyes flitted from side to side, taking in every inch of my face. Like he was trying to read my thoughts.

"Interrupting something?" Cee's voice shook me out from my trance.

I noticed Lucas's jaw clench as if he didn't liked Cee's interruption. But somewhere I was thankful that she came at the right time. My insides were already beginning to melt from the extreme nearness. A few more seconds with him and I would have suffered a heart attack.
