CHAPTER 21

~Zara's POV~

What the hell was I thinking? Kissing Snow like that? Letting myself get swept away by his stupid, perfect lips and—gah! 

I cursed under my breath, pacing back and forth in the hallway outside his office. 

How could I let myself be so stupid? Of course, he wouldn't want anything real with me. This was all just a game to him. 

A contract. Nothing more.

I paused, leaning against the wall and forcing myself to breathe. This isn't what I wanted. I wasn't some lovesick girl anymore, chasing after a man who could never love me. 

Snow was playing with me, toying with my emotions, and I had let him. 

"Damn it."

I shut my eyes, trying to push away the memory of that kiss—how his hands felt on my waist, how my body responded to his touch without thinking.
