Unromantic Rascal

Erin's heart raced faster, matching the rhythm of the heartbeat beneath her palm. Her face flushed as she met the sincere gaze of the man before her. This time, his eyes carried the weight of his words, revealing that he was not entirely devoid of emotion.

She didn't know what to say or how to respond to his confession. Her throat felt dry, her ears deafened by the pounding of her own heartbeat. The air around them seemed to shift suddenly, thick with unspoken tension.

Just then, there was a knock at the study door. "My Lady, I brought it."

Erin snapped back to her senses, gently pulling her hand from Lucian's grasp, which he allowed without resistance.

"You may enter," Lucian permitted, his gaze lingering on her flushed face.

The servant opened the door and entered the study, quietly placing a wooden tray and a box on the center table in front of the couch before leaving.
