Conrad pulled me down and enfolded me in his arms as his hands embraced my body.
I could hear his heartbeat. It was irregular and loud like it was about to burst.
God, how bad I wanted to hurl away from him.
"Conrad.." I called his name again.
"Don't… " His voice was hard, and his muscles became rigid. "Don't do anything."
In this silence, our heartbeat was the only thing that was heard. I was lying on top of him. As he was controlling his breath.
I'm bracing myself to lift my head, looking at him, and see what's inside those eyes. I could feel my stomach hollow out wondering what he thought.
"I…" My voice started to come out.
"I told you to stop talking!" Conrad was probably trying to figure out what he would do to me.
No. I didn't think I could stand his anger. "Let me go!" I wiggled, looking for an escape. But his grip was strong.
