Chapter56

Nicola made sure I didn't even shift in my seat as we came to a smooth halt, despite the evident urgency of Mathew's inaudible screams.

Mathew hurried to my door as soon as the automobile had stopped moving. He pried it apart with all his might and reached down to undo my seatbelt. His muscles stiffened with rage, yet his huge hands were kind on my waist as he helped me out of the vehicle and laid me down on my feet.

After I steadied myself, he didn't stop touching me. My mind was racing and I could only gaze at him in silence as his hands moved swiftly over my body to inspect every crevice. His saber-toothed black gaze swept over my body, leaving crimson traces in their wake.

"Are you all right?" His voice whispered softly, matching the gentleness of his hands. Almost mesmerizing was the contrast between his softness and his violence.
