Chapter 11- Did he fall in love with her?

• Her breathing hitched up, and she looked at him with wide eyes. Fear was evident in her eyes. She also forgot to breathe. Although she said those words willfully, still, she was always afraid to be touched by another man except Aidan.
• Charles’s face was dangerously close to hers, his lips almost brushing her lips. She pursed her lips into a thin line, looking at him, utterly confused. His gaze moved to her eyes, and he saw the horror in them. He sneered, “Why are you scared now? Didn’t you want to sleep with me? Let me taste your lips.”
• He intentionally said those words to scare her more. She swallowed her saliva and kept looking at him with the same fear in her teary eyes. She didn’t even dare to take long breaths. Charles’s eyes softened and sighed. His heart twinge to see tears in her eyes. He wiped the tears away from her cheeks with his forefinger and said, “Alright. Now, be good and don’t talk nonsense, okay?”
