Chapter 81 Can I kiss you?

Aubrey’s pov ;

The moment Ryder smirked, something twisted inside me. I knew that look too well. It sent a shiver down my spine, one I couldn’t control.

He adjusted me in his lap, and I gasped, realizing how exposed I’d become. My skirt had ridden up, baring my thighs to his gaze. His eyes moved there, darkening as they roamed over my skin.

Heat rushed to my face, and I tried to move, to stand up and put distance between us. But before I could, his hands gripped my hips tightly, holding me in place.

The pressure of his touch sent another shiver through me, but this one was different. It wasn’t from fear, but something I didn’t want to admit. My body betrayed me as I sat there, too aware of how close we were. His fingers dug into my hips, possessive, and it made my heart race even faster.
