Chapter 12GeraldI stormed out of the breakfast room faster than I could say my own name.What the hell was that?The moment I touched her hand, I felt something electric, almost celestial.And then... A voice in my head, a weird stirring, like something had awakened in me. It was faint, almost undetectable.It happened too when we first met.What the hell was happening to me?I grimaced and shoved open the door to my study a little too hard. The sound of it slamming echoed off the walls, but I didn't care. My mind was spinning.I went straight to the mini bar, grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the mini bar, and downed half of it. The burn didn't help.I didn't want to admit it, but I was drawn to her. I didn't like it. She was just a kid. My best friend's kid, whom I swore to protect not... crave.I should not be having any weird thoughts of her, but here I was, spiraling. But something in me cracked open when I touched her, and now I couldn't seal it shutI sucked in a breath."Damn
