SLAM!
Cosette held her breath and clutched her hand closer to her chest. Her heart was pounding against her ribcage as the situation she was pulled in slowly drilled into her head. In the past, she would squeal every time she would read the female lead getting kabedon-ed by the male lead. But now that she was in such a situation... she felt a little confused.
She raised her eyes cautiously, only for her breath to hitch under his menacing gaze. Maxen's palms were on either side of her; eyes as sharp as daggers glinting, and that towel's shadow over his damp hair that was still dripping little drops of water masked his upper face. The sight of him made her heart race in fear.
He looked dangerous. Like a villain watching his prey's every little movement.
