Melissa hesitated for a moment before thinking the same as before. Her eyes would avert from her in between. "Did you hear it again?"
Radulf shook his head. "You didn't put your heart in it while speaking," he said. "Nevermind. We should stop here."
He turned around and walked away to cool off his mind.
"Did I make a mistake?" Melissa murmured and poured a glass of water for her. She almost swayed by him. And what was that touch? She liked it and wanted more. While sipping the water, she thought, 'Now, he may tease me all the time to think like that. Will I be able to refuse his advances now? I think I'm too harsh on him.'
Placing the glass of water on the table, she argued to herself, "He is attracted to my body instead of me. I do feel the matebond is the reason for the sudden shift of his behavior. And the brutal words he said to me so many times, can't be forgotten easily."
