The Crown

My heart twists and a shiver rolls down my spine as the butterflies inside my stomach give me a tweak when Vermilion's husky voice slashes through the chilly environment of the night. All my hormones are dancing at the end of my nerves and telling me to leap in and wrap my arms around that perfect masculine body of his. But I keep all the emotions in check as I lift my chin to match his gaze.

I stifle a shudder that rolls through me as my blue eyes meet his cool red ones. He looks absolutely downright devastating under the moonlight.

"We don't have anything to talk about, My Lord." I fail to hide the slight tremble in my voice as I speak these words to him. Thank Gods I sent Zhen Xin to rest a few moments ago, or I would have died of embarrassment.
