Chapter 46 - Getting Closer

Ava moved closer to me, her body slowly pressing against mine. I could feel her warm breath brushing the base of my neck.

Being so close to her made me feel strange, and when I glanced into her eyes, it became even harder to control myself.

"Ava... can you move away, please?"

She shook her head with a little smirk. "Not until you tell me why you want to meet someone as dangerous as that man."

"It's really nothing special, I'm just curi—"

Before I could finish, she placed her hands on both sides of my face, forcing me to look at her.

Things were heating up, and I was doing my best to stay composed. Otherwise, it would make things awkward between us.

I tried gently pushing her away, but she resisted. She was determined to know the truth, which meant I either had to lie to her or tell her about the demons returning. Clearly, I had only one option, so I decided to lie.

But before I did, I thought I'd tease her a little—just for fun.
