"I can say it now…"
She finally purred, her voice low and velvety, her eyes locked onto Adrian's with an intensity that made his pulse race uncontrollably.
"I like this face the most," she whispered, stepping closer, her breath almost brushing his skin. "I..."
Her lips curved into a mischievous smile, her eyes still gleaming with that dangerous mix of desire and amusement. Her body pressed closer, her breath hot against Adrian's skin as she whispered the words that sent a cold shiver down his spine.
"I love you."
"!?"
Before Adrian could even react, Evangeline closed the remaining distance between them, her lips hovering mere inches from his. Her predatory smile softened into something more intimate—more dangerous—as she moved to claim what she wanted.
'Shoot-!'
Adrian's eyes widened in shock.
'N-No-!'
