Chapter 94

"Sorry, wrong person. But I must say, you do look extremely attractive even when you're wearing that kind of clothing." I took a step back only to find myself hitting the door frame in the process. I cursed myself in my mind as I continued to stare at him. How in the world had he gotten in here in the first place? It was like he had read my mind because he answered my unspoken question. "It wasn't very wise of you to leave the back door open while throwing out the trash. You never know what, or who, is lurking about in the forest at this hour."

A surge of panic filled my entire body, making me quiver under his penetrating gaze before I made a run for it. I made my way up the stairs, hating how my body seemed to struggle with every step I took. I had no idea why I didn't just head out the front door screaming at the top of my lungs and hoping that one of my neighbors would hear me. But no, brilliant little old me had to head deeper into the house instead.
