Chapter 16 Monster

• Cassandra's heart hammered against her ribcage and a cold sweat broke out on her skin. She might not be alive to see the brightness of day. This monster of a man standing in front of her, although he was a sexy structure, covered in casual vintage clothing, was also a living terror. His eyes have a way of growing five shades darker whenever he was furious and she had seen this look on him before, on the night they were supposed to spend together.
• She might be a strong-willed woman, but he unnerves her, and his presence unravels her thoughts. She always has a war going on in her whenever he was present, and he wondered if every woman felt the same way for him. He was a magnetic force of attraction, and she hates that she could still be attracted to him in that way when she hated him so much and when he frightens her so much. It was a fatal attraction.
• There was nothing for her to do but back away, but he came after her, his eyes focused on her, his smile downright dangerous. That he was smiling surprised her until she remembered that his smile was more brutal that his frown. Her lips quivered. She wanted to start apologizing to start saying something, but something told her that the man right in front of her, coming after her, stalking her with his wicked eyes like a predator about to devour its prey needed no explanations. She prayed silently for help to come her way, but prayers don't always work.
