Gavrael (Part XXI)

Gavrael could not help but laugh internally at the cute way she had responded. But since they needed to keep as silent as possible, he only smiled at her. "Worry not, Evie… I would never let that happen." He whispered breathily in her ear and Evie's heart was jolted as it raced like a crazy horse.

She had even nearly forgotten about the maids who were now inside her room. It was not until she felt one of them approached the bed that she got startled out of her reverie. Oh no!

Her eyes widened, feeling like her heart was in her throat. Then out of the blue, someone lifted her blanket.

Evie's eyes flew wide open but to her surprise, the person who had teased her earlier and was just lying right by her side was already gone. It was as though he was never there in the first place! She swallowed nervously and then turned to look at the maid who was now blinking at her in shock as she stared at the empty space next tto Evie.
