Chapter Twenty Nine

After the rather tense dance with Lucius, which left me feeling tingly all over and mind slightly foggy, had come to an end, I decided to sit out the rest of the evening and avoid any more attention being drawn to myself.

I should have been overjoyed that he had danced with me, even flirted with me, but our interaction had left my mind a jumbled mess. I was unsure of how to process everything that had happened, let why it had. What I did know, however, was that a yearning, deep inside me, had started to awaken. One that I was not yet aware of, nor knew exactly what it was for. But I was sure the more time I spent with Lucius, the more I'd come to understand it since it was he who had unlocked it.

I did my best to think of anything other than those dangerously handsome man who I am not supposed to think about . But the longer I sat there waiting for the night to be over, the more I thought about my dance with Lucius, and the time I had spent with him.
