She wondered how Brian would feel if he learned that she had thoughts about forcing herself on him and being more intimate with him.
âWill he think Iâm⦠lecherous?
âGosh, no!
Even with her head down, she could feel his eyes on her.
When she finally finished her meal, she jumped up and said, âI⦠Iâm done. Iâm going to rest!â With that said, she was about to run back to her bedroom.
However, she had not taken two steps when Brian had already risen. He blocked her way. âAre you avoiding me?â
âHuh?â She froze. Blushing, she said in a panic, âNo⦠No.â
It sounded like a lie and was not very convincing.
Brian said in confusion, âIt seems youâre really avoiding me. Why? Did I do something to upset you?â
âNo⦠No! You havenât done anything bad!â she quickly said in denial.
âThen why are you avoiding me?â he asked as he took one step forward. Those dark phoenix eyes stared at her.
She only felt as if his gaze was enveloping her.
âI⦠Iâm not avoiding you.â She looked down to avoid his eyes and stuck to her original answer.
Brian frowned slightly, raised his hand to grab Valda Thellerâs chin, and forced her to look up at him. âIf Iâve done something to upset you, you might as well just tell me.â
Valda Theller felt herself burning. Valda Theller knew her face was red as hell without looking in the mirror. Just tell him⦠How can I just tell him?
âAm I going to tell him that Iâm turned on by his good looks?â
âValda, I thought we were a couple. You can tell me anything. I can change if itâs my problem,â he said.
Outsiders would probably be shocked to hear that. âWhen would the crown prince ever say something like that to others?â
âThere⦠Thereâs nothing wrong with you. Iâm the problem,â
stammered Valda Theller.
âYou have a problem? What problem?â Brian asked.
She bit her lip and said nothing. It was embarrassing However, he seemed hell-bent on pursuing the matter. âYou can tell me any problem you have. Maybe I can help.â
Boom!
She felt as if her blood were about to burst. She was already in such a state. His words were like adding fuel to the fire!
âHmm?â He was still waiting for her answer.
Valda Theller made up her mind, closed her eyes, and said, âI⦠} want to force myself on you. I wanna kiss you and hug you, so⦠donât⦠Donât get too close to me. I⦠I donât know what Iâll do!â
She did not want to be a nuisance to him, but if he got close to her, she might be tempted to do something he hated.
The air was filled with awkwardness after she yelled that out.
