As soon as her brother left and nothing else was occupying her mind, Angelica went back to think of the incident with Lord Rayven. She couldn't believe that she was actually thinking of this rather than the departure of her brother.
His words kept echoing in her mind, causing her heart to beat fast.
Hungry. Taste. Bite. Beast. Why did he have to use such words? But most of all, why did these words bother her in a way they shouldn't? Suddenly her corset felt too tight and her clothes too heavy. She was hot.
Angelica tried to fan herself with the book in her hand but it didn't help, so she decided to read to occupy her mind instead. But even her love for reading couldn't help her avoid thinking about what Lord Rayven had told her.
A loud sigh left her lips as she stood up feeling frustrated. She decided to go to the kitchen to help Sarah.
Sarah was busy making lunch when Angelica came to her.
