"What do you think you're doing?" Merikh glowered at Delaney angrily, forcing the words between gritted teeth.
Delaney was still reeling from the shock of almost falling off a cliff, and her heart beat so loudly that it was the only sound in their ears. Her eyes were wide with panic and she stared into Merikh's which were ablaze with anger. He was lying on top of her, shirtless as usual, and her hands were the only thing between their bodies.
Her lips parted to take in some air and Merikh released her, standing on his feet and stretching his hand to help her up. Delaney grabbed his hand and pushed herself from the ground. Her chest heaved up and down and it took her a moment to calm down.
"I wasn't trying to jump," she mumbled as she dusted off her clothes.
Merikh stared at her with displeasure in his eyes and Delaney almost rolled her eyes at him.
