Chapter 18 A Dance Of Dominance

Ariana’s POV

I was done cleaning myself and getting dressed, expecting to see that nuisance behind me but he wasn’t there. It was odd because I didn’t even notice when he left.

“What an odd individual.” I muttered.

This place truly was beautiful, with even presence of flowers, especially lilies which I favored. After strolling for a few minutes I found him, seated, leaning on a tree, looking across the sky as sunset approached.

His blonde hair was no longer in a ponytail and it danced above his shoulders. Secretly I had been a big fan of his hair, how long they were, stopping across his upper back.

My feet stepped on a branch as I approached him causing him to turn. I halted, eyes widening in surprise. His rubies were now pitch black, with no trace of white, black lines tracing underneath his eyes.

I blinked rapidly in shock and they were gone.

“What?” Did I just see things now?

“Are you that in love with me?”

I blinked again, “What?”

“You’ve been staring since you came.”
