Chapter 103: To Please Ezekiel*

Tarah could feel the loud thumping of her heart against her chest as she sensed the movement of the water, indicating Ezekiel's presence in the hot spring with her.

She bit her inner lip, trying to calm her nerves. After all, she and Ezekiel had already kissed and embraced each other. They shared mutual feelings, and Ezekiel had even asked for her hand in marriage, patiently awaiting her response.

"Tarah."

She stiffened when she felt Ezekiel's warm breath graze the skin of her bare shoulder. Lost in her own thoughts, she hadn't realized how close he had come behind her. His hands found her shoulders, turning her around to face him.

"You do know that you've invited danger right now?" he murmured, his gaze intense as he stared deeply into her eyes. Tarah found herself unable to look away; he seemed to possess a magnetic pull that drew her closer to him.
