There was one thing she was unable to wrap around her mind. Why was his fiancé not surrendering herself to him? Why was Zoe denying him? Was being given a god-like status made having sex beneath her status? It was so obvious after the talk they had had yesterday. In a way she pitied his condition. Perhaps that is why he was so lusty. Maybe he was like that to all other girls. The thought roiled her guts. She became jealous as hell. Today she would notice him with other girls. She was sure that he was going to derive pleasure from them. She was sure that he might be doing so righ

“I have some work to do, so I am leaving,” he said, enjoying her surprise. “You are going to stay here until I come back.”“Going to find
Ludwig shook his head, sitting about twenty feet away in a small tavern opposite to her shop. He was itching to see her again—those beautiful golden hair and blue eyes, which haunted him every waking hour and every sleeping spell. He was now her official stalker.
