Chapter 44: No one

Evie stiffened at his words but she maintained her indifference. "Nothing happened."

"Look at me, Evielyn." He said firmly. And when Evie refused to obey, Gavriel took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a brief moment, and opened them again. "Don't make me repeat myself…"

Evie finally turned, and she could not believe that even at this moment, the stunning beauty of the man before her still could cause her breath to catch in her throat. Why does he have to be this bewitching?

Trying her hardest to keep her emotion hidden from him, Evie looked at him with emotionless eyes.

The muscle in Gavriel's cheek ticked along his jaw but he stayed very still for a long moment, as if he were having his very own internal battle within him while scrutinizing his wife's face.
