Chapter 31 – Marry Me

• Zeru
• I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have walked out. I shouldn’t have pushed it that far… but she was so close.
• The way she looked at me—defiant, guarded, beautiful—it drove me insane. Every little twitch of her mouth, every flicker of her eyes when she was trying not to feel, only made me want her more. There’s something about Ella that pulls me in like gravity. I try to respect her space, her boundaries, but the moment I’m near her, logic slips away. All I can think about is touching her, tasting her, making her mine again.
