---- My fists clenched so tightly that my nails bit into my palms, but I didnt flinch.


    Ie was watching me, searching for something proof, maybe, or a crack in the armor I was barely holding together.

    He noticed.


    My body responded like a bitch.


    I could feel the wetness pool between my legs He could sniff it too but he didnt say anything.


    And then his lips followed.


    A sharp gasp escaped me as his teeth grazed my tender breast.A spark of humiliation red as his possessiveness left a sting I couldn''t ignore.
