Do Mine Eyes Deceive Me Novels & Stories

~ A M E L I A ~ ‘Your eyes lose their sparkle when you lie to me, that’s how I know you’re lying.’ Taken aback, I genuinely had no idea what to say to him. Had he been paying attention to me that much to know when I was lying through my eyes? I couldn’t believe it… ‘Deep down, I think you knew that too, which is why sometimes when you lie, you don’t look me in the eyes, which is another tell for me.’

I can't trust Joshua, not again, not ever again, I wiped the tears away, the one that only falls when I'm asleep when life gets too hard for me I cry in my sleep, I could only trust myself.

His brown eyes met my aqua blue orbs and I could feel the sensations of sharp pain that his eyes exuded, unlike the mystery that usually was present in those eyes. “I care about my people and I’m not a flirt,” the words escaped his mouth, his gaze fixated on me.

His parted lips awakened the desires in me and I had to avert my eyes from him before the locker room would be filled with the scent of my arousal.

I said true to myself. When my eyes drifted to Zeke, I froze because he was staring at me with disgust and his forehead knotted in disbelief. The bastard must have thought this was just another one of my lies, another pretense. I watched his eyes darken with anger, as if I’d said something utterly ridiculous. For this man, nothing I said or did would ever convince him I was a good person. He always assumed the worst of me and that’s exactly how much he repulsed me.

My heart was beating so hard I thought it might rip through my ribcage and escape. Once I snapped out of my temporary stupor, I realized that his eyes were like molten gold. The color seemed to be moving within itself as if his eyes themselves were actually molten gold, and it was being poured back into itself.

Kayla swallowed painfully at the tone he used to talk to her and the murderous look he gave her. "You're talking as if you are a better individual when you're nothing but a goal digger.
