章 245: Are you Seducing Me?      

[EVE]

Cole was still in the shower, and I was left pacing the room like a caged animal. My heart raced, and no amount of deep breaths could calm me.

Alone in a room with him, at night—it felt like the setup to something out of a romance novel.

Idiot!

I knocked myself lightly on the head, trying to banish the ridiculous thoughts swirling in my mind. Even the idea that something might happen between us was absurd.

But the more I tried to push the notion away, the more my mind betrayed me, drifting back to earlier glimpses of him—the way his eyes narrowed with desire, the sharp definition of his abs, and the teasing line of his waistband.

My face burned, and I covered it with my hands, groaning softly. Why wouldn't these thoughts leave me alone? They circled like vultures, preying on my weakness.
