*Alistair*
Alistair’s intention was not to drive Daphne out of the library. In fact he adored how easy she was able to make herself at home in the manor. What the man desperately wanted was for her to think about him the way he was constantly thinking about her.
Which was completely naked and entangled in each other’s hot embrace. He wanted to learn every curve her body had and longed to taste her until she cried out his name.
He could tell that her body was aching for the attention. And he was ready and willing to give it to her.
His chest twinged when he heard how Rowan was basically ignoring her and not giving her a second thought. It should have made Alistair feel somewhat unsettled at how easy it would be for him to destroy Daphne's relationship with Rowan.
