34 Amelia's pov Alarm bells ring in the back of my head when his question flutters over me . This is what a creepy stalker would ask , a murderer , someone who comes to collect everything bad would ask …. and those alarm bells in the back of my mind are not because I fear his question … It's because I am now instantly aware that my response will shift something in this room . Telling him yes would mean that I am admitting that the guy who seems to set me on fire is alone here with me … in my home . Alone . Breaths apart . Put some fucking distance Amelia . I step back , his eyes pin me down . " No , Dad is , " I swallowed , now so aware of how alone I really am in this house with Raiden . " Asleep in his room , " the lie wasn't smooth because my damn voice shook . And I believe he took note of it . Of course , he did . Raiden was a guy who didn't let anything pass him , clearly . His eyes cloud over , but the emotion is hard to read . Like always it's hard to read . But so are mine because I can hide things pretty well too . He clicks his tongue . " Such a little liar spitfire . " Fuck The way his words came out of his lips , the way it caressed me , my skin down to my spine . I really hate him . But I hate the way he affects me more I crossed my arms over my chest as if it would help to block out his heated stare on my skin . Instead , I am ablaze on the spot . " I did not lie , " I stressed on each word as if they were true . I hope God won't punish me for it . His eyes flashed dangerously , making me shiver . Okay , Raiden being here was a bad idea . I don't know why he was , but it was a very bad idea . I looked behind him at the closed door , hearing the storm rage out outside . I couldn't exactly kick him out , I wasn't that heartless . Despite him clearly being a heartless prick . I bring my eyes to his reluctantly , not sure if I am able to fight the battle he seems to invoke in me . As our eyes clash I held my breath , shivering . His form fills the room like the thunderstorm raging outside and intimidates me more than I like to admit I ground my teeth . He still hasn't told me why he was here . " For the last time Raiden , why are you here ? What do you want ? " Something flicks in his eyes , deepening until my nails scrap at my skin as I try to rid myself of the nerves building up in my lower stomach This isn't good I should have never opened that door and let him in " You know what I want , " his tone is hoarse , firm and straight to the point I hugged myself tighter , licking any lower lip out of a nervous habit He followed that action like a hawk , his eyes burning through me I frowned " No , I don't " Oh yes I do He made it pretty clear earlier . Not only with his words but the way he kissed me , the way he touched me . He told me and it wasn't a secret It wasn't a dirty secret He looked at me like I was talking shit right out of my mouth and I probably was because not even me believe the words 1 just uttered He steps forward I step back . He does it again And I do too And then his eyes pin me like a dart , steeling me where I am and I forgot how to breathe He chuckled softly as if I amused him . It unitated me * Yes you do . " he points out , taking a step forward until his boots brush my toes I have not breathed yet Goosebumps rise on my skin like tiny hives I am deafly allergic to his words , my breathing haste I bit my tongue when his +25 BONUS heated eyes caressed my face as if he was trying to imprint my image in his head . And when his finger hooked in that thin shirt of mine , crooking and tugging the material forward toward him , revealing some of my creamy cleavage , my teeth leaves a permanent mark on my tongue . " The way you tremble , the way your body responds , tells me you do , " he utters so cockily I want to reach up and smack his smirk right off his face . Why ? Because he was right .
