Kieran:
I walked out of the bathroom with a towel draped over my shoulders, still rubbing my hair dry.
Water droplets clung stubbornly to my skin, sliding down my chest and over my abs as the warm air of the bedroom welcomed me. Normally, I would have bothered putting on a shirt before stepping out.
But tonight?
Tonight the plan had been very different.
Tonight the plan had been to seduce my mate.
Unfortunately, the moment I stepped into the bedroom, I realized my carefully imagined plan had already failed.
Evaline was sitting at the study desk.
Again.
Her entire attention was locked onto the thick record book spread open in front of her. One elbow rested on the desk while the fingers of her other hand absentmindedly traced a line of text as she read.
She was completely absorbed in the book, completely unaware of the world around her.
Or at least… that's what it looked like.
My eyes narrowed slightly.
