Chapter 73 - Her Surrender, His Fiery Claim
"So, are you going to tell me why we're taking this remote shortcut?" I asked, watching the trees blur past my window as Kaelen drove down an unfamiliar road. "And what were you doing at that boutique earlier?"
My questions hung in the air between us. We'd just left the spa where I'd received the most luxurious massage of my life—a gift from Kaelen that had left me feeling boneless and relaxed. Now, heading back in his sleek black Aston Martin, I couldn't help but probe the mystery that had been nagging at me.
Kaelen's jaw tightened, his knuckles whitening on the steering wheel. "Just some business, Seraphina. Nothing for you to worry about."
"Business in a women's boutique?" I raised an eyebrow, turning in my seat to face him. "Come on, what were you really doing there?"
A ghost of a smile played on his lips. "Curious, aren't you?"
"When it comes to you? Always." The words slipped out before I could stop them.
