Chapter 129

• Chapter 129: The Cage of Protection
• The moment she allows him to step into the room, he closes the door behind him with deliberate care, the soft click echoing in the charged silence between them. His mind races frantically, practically buzzing with all the explanations he's been rehearsing, all the words he needs to say to make her understand. Each thought tumbles over the next in desperate succession, creating a chaotic symphony of justifications and pleas.
• He observes her as she moves deeper into the room, his eyes drinking in every detail despite himself. Her curvy frame moves with graceful defiance beneath that stunning short flare skirt that hugs her hips perfectly before flowing outward, exposing tantalizing stretches of smooth skin along her thighs. The sight makes his vision blur momentarily, desire and longing crashing over him like a tidal wave. God, he really, really wants to pull her into his arms right now, to hold her so tight that all the tension and anger between them simply melts away. That singular thought rings through his mind like a prayer as he watches her measured steps, each movement deliberate and purposeful.
