Hiding her face did not work however, because Lucas grabbed her chin and forced her to look up.
'He can probably hear my heart racing too.'
It was like all the parts she was trying to keep hidden were being unveiled one by one, much to her embarrassment.
Instead of turning her gaze down, her eyes were captured by Lucas' striking blue eyes. Only more noticeable in the growing morning light.
It took her breath away and forced her to confront the fact that she was completely in love with him.
This was dangerous. The more she allowed herself to drink in this sight, the more she would be attached to him.
Yet, she could not move away from him. He was not holding on to her tightly. In fact, he was brushing his fingertips across her chin up to her cheek.
She tried to order her body to move away, but it moved closer. Why was her body betraying her like this?
Was she tired? Or was the pull she felt to Lucas just extra strong today?
