Enough

Sebastian became very still as a lengthy and quiet pause reigned between them. His eyes wide and in shock at her comment as she stared back at him, waiting for his response.

The abrupt appearance of a steel-cold glint in his eyes forced Elle's pulse to start rioting and picking up its pace. 

Then she began to feel it – the fury that was radiating off him. The gleam that had appeared in his eyes was intense and hot. Too dangerously hot until it seemed to turn almost malevolent. 

This was a look he had never shown her before. 

Just as Elle was starting to feel chills running down her spine, his expression abruptly changed. 

After what felt like a long while, he finally opened his mouth, as though ready to speak. But he then paused, appeared to think the better of it, and closed his lips again before he dropped his head.
