All Chapters of Off-Limits Desire: Chapter 61 - Chapter 65

Scarlett's POVI hum softly, closing the distance between us, feeling the heat radiating off of him.The air around us seems to shift, thickening with something unspoken, something charged. “And you,” I say, my voice low as I jab my index finger into his chest.His brow arches, his lips twitching upward in amusement as if I’m nothing more than a source of entertainment to him. My cheeks flush instantly, the weight of his piercing blue eyes locking onto mine making me feel like my thoughts are on full display.Those eyes, sharp, unreadable, hold emotions I can’t quite place, swirling beneath the surface in a way that makes my stomach twist.I swallow thickly, my throat suddenly dry. My palms feel clammy, and I discreetly wipe them on the fabric of my skirt, praying he doesn’t notice.“You didn’t answer me,” I finish, crossing my arms over my chest in an attempt to look composed, even if my heart is hammering against my ribs.For a moment, he doesn’t say anything.

My fingers wrapped around its slender frame, and I pulled it up to my face.The bright screen made me squint, and I shielded my eyes, forcing myself into an upright position as I stretched lazily. The stiffness in my body was evident, and I let out a low groan.My neck made an odd cracking noise as I twisted my back, trying to shake myself awake.I tossed the phone onto the armchair adjacent to where I sat, the soft cushions enveloping it. As I forced myself out of the couch, my joints creaked in protest.I headed to the television to turn it off, my neck aching with every movement.
