[Celia's POV]
Celia felt as if she had been jerked awake by someone once the duke had left. She walked on her wobbly legs until she found a chair and sat down on it heavily. She was shaking with excess adrenaline. She was too stunned and…
She gasped remembering the kiss, remembering the way he called her 'doll'. Her heartbeat sped up. She had never felt like this even when she was with Lucian. This heart-racing, mind-numbing feeling… what was this?
However, her thoughts were cut short when she heard a soft chime coming from somewhere and a wall clock caught her gaze. Her eyes widened when she realized it was soon going to be midnight.
Oh no…
She hurried to the door and locked it.
