Chapter 39

• Stephane Pov::
• "I have my ways." I tell her. The smirk on her face only spreads, lighting up her eyes with dangerous mischief. I am afraid I have driven myself into a hole. Here I am, talking about detaching emotions from this thing we have going on, and yet I am doing just that. I can't hide the feelings of jealousy and possessiveness that unfurls in my chest at the idea of Aleen spending time with Benjamin or any other guy. Younger guys her age. Men she can have something more solid with and society will not bat an eye over. The rational side of me knows that it is probably for the best that she has someone else. But the irrational side hates the very idea with an intensity that is so conflicting.
• "Stephane, are you jealous?" The little nymph asks me, the sly smirk on her face makes me want to do things to her that will have her begging for more.
