Atlas gaze burned with such intensity she felt her soul shiver. The promise and warning in his eyes filled Meredith with anticipation instead of fear. She was now exploring another side of her and it was the most thrilling thing she had ever done if not the most daring.
Meredith looked at the man who was leisurely running his hands through her hair.
"When would be our next meeting?" She asked, her voice barely a whisper.
Atlas flashed her a lazy smile, and Meredith found her heart jumping in her chest.
"Eager, are we?" A grin tugged at his mouth.
Meredith tucked a lock of hair behind her ear as she avoided his gaze. She has never experienced being touched by a man like he had touched her today. With so much care and respect.
Yes, he had called her degrading names and ordered her around but the way he had reacted when he had seen her scars thrilled her and unnerved her at the same time. It made her feel protected like he would keep her safe when he gets to know her secrets.
