Bab 724: Let's Test

"Let's put that to test, why don't we?"

Kael's words hung in the air between them, the tension thickening as he leaned in closer, his breath mingling with hers. Dora's heart raced, but she forced herself to remain defiant, lifting her chin in challenge. She wouldn't let him see how her knees felt weak when he was this close to her. But as she felt his eyes on her dry lips, she licked them and gulped. She could not let him kiss her, even though her stupid brain was saying otherwise. She needed to say something to break this moment... 

"You think you can intimidate me into admitting something that isn't true? Fine then, go ahead and test all you want." she spat, though her voice wavered slightly as she raised her chin.
