章 274: Chapter 274 - Hesitation

Not much later, the two of them were back in Emily's room, where Erik put the Frostvolt technique down on a table close to the door.

'I'll get back to you in a moment, my new friend. Just need to satisfy one of the women in my life first,' he inwardly chuckled.

After the door closed, Emily looked at him with parts hesitation and parts anxiety. She was sure before, but now that the moment was here again, she suddenly hesitated. She wanted this, but she didn't really want to want it yet.

Erik was just about to start suggesting next steps when he noticed her hesitation.

So he took a step closer and wrapped his left arm around her waist. He pulled her close enough for their chests to touch, and than used his right hand to lift her chin and made her look at him.

He expected her to look at him with comfort and affection, since that was what he usually got at this point, but instead he only saw annoyance.
