Sanity ultimately returned to Gwen. Appalled at her behaviour, her eyes bulged and she squeezed herself from between Alexander and the wall. Her neck was hot and her heart was racing. What had she done? Had she lost her senses? Allowing him to touch her like that?
She stepped away, trying to compose herself, her hands trembling slightly at her sides. The tension in the room was almost visible, the air heavy with unspoken desire. When she turned to look at him, he was watching her. She looked away, her mind a whirlwind of confusion and guilt.
Gwen never expected things of the sorts to happen. How did it happen? Taking a deep breath, she turned back to Alexander. "I… I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I don't know what I was doing."
"I knew what I was doing."
She swallowed hard, her heart racing with anxiety. "I wish to leave. Please."
