Chapter NINE

DESTINY

“Do I make you nervous?”

Holy hell. What was even going on? Was the Devil touching me?

My eyes darted around nervously, waiting for Mr. Royce to come out of the woodwork to scream at me or fire me.

There was zero tolerance for fraternizing with customers, and I was pretty sure that involved touching them. Even if he was the one who reached for me.

But I couldn’t move. I was frozen in place. Finally, I managed to lift my gaze to his, and holy hotness, the result was a flood between my legs.

His eyes glittered in the dim light like shards of obsidian. I had to admit he was pretty damn spectacular.

Beautiful and dark. Like a fallen angel. Maybe he was Lucifer himself.

That he kept staring at me was incomprehensible. I had to wonder if I’d done something wrong, offended him somehow. There was no way a man who looked like that would gaze at me so intently unless I’d done something wrong.
