Eva's heart raced as Xylon kneeled next to her, his closeness causing her breath to hitch.
She tried to avoid his intense gaze, feeling a mix of fear and uncertainty. When she unintentionally bit her injured lip, the metallic taste of blood filled her mouth, adding to her distress.
Xylon noticed the trace of blood on her lips and without hesitation, pressed his finger against them to wipe it away.
Eva winced at the pressure, feeling as though he was erasing the memory of that unwanted kiss with his touch.
His actions were not gentle, and it felt like a sharp reminder of the boundaries between them.
She couldn't help but wonder if he truly cared about her, or if he was simply trying to assert his dominance and control over her.
Despite her fear and confusion, Eva found herself unable to move away or speak up. Part of her was still captivated by him..
Another part of her was afraid of what he might do if she resisted or rejected him.
