Loved the Chase
For the last two hours that they were together, Stellar had been spacing out from time to time.
Holden tried his best to lighten up the mood between them and never once mentioned the kiss they shared that morning to make the atmosphere between them as comfortable as possible.
However, behind the affable mask that he was sporting was a man who used every fiber of him to leash the possessive monster inside him.
He reminded himself that they just shared a kiss, and it was not a guarantee that Stellar was in love with him or if she ever felt anything past the side effects of the drug that Irina slipped in her drink.
Deep inside, he knew Stellar was never that kind of lady who just jumps on someone and kisses them. She was always reserved and never acted on her feelings unless pushed by something or someone.
It was the reason that morning, Holden had to rein in the feral monster inside him and think with his head above and not the hard one between his legs.
