ELENA
My heart was thumping fast inside my chest as I waited for Devon to answer my question. I was very much aware that only three pieces of clothing were barely covering my body while I slept in the arms that tortured a man only a few hours before.
That very thought made my skin crawl, and yet... I couldn't stop the heat that surged through me. I wish I could freeze my insides to stop that heat. Because it didn't feel right anymore... not after the last night.
My heart ached, looking at Devon's handsome face. It was the same face that had caused me countless sleepless nights. It had made my heart race with only one glimpse. It assured me that I had someone to lean on though we were fighting on opposite ends.
