Chapter 51 — Dangerous Waters

• Ronan is moving silently, but I can feel him inching closer. The truth is, I want to turn him away again, but I’m not sure I'll be able to this time.

Each of our encounters has become more intense—a battle of wills where the advantage shifts back and forth between us. Just yesterday, after I sweetly told him to go play hide and fuck himself, he backed me to a wall and caged me in with his arms.
