I did the same.

The hint of a smirk appeared on his lips.

I focused on his eyes.

He began to focus on mine.

Okay, Miles, let's play the staring game.

I gave a superior smile, which he immediately mirrored.

That was the moment I regretted starting this game. What did this say about me? That I allowed these stupid little competitions to happen?

No Evidence

Mr. Kamera

Nevertheless, I held his gaze, trying to concentrate on the much too warm brown of his eyes. Another mistake, because I couldn't tear myself away from them. Their glint held me in their grip. Clouded my clear mind.

And suddenly, all the tables between us felt like an endless distance. The strange urge to overcome this distance crept into my stomach and the tingling sensation from earlier returned.

My lips opened slightly on their own.

Instantly, Miles' jaw tensed, straining against the tight skin beneath his stubble, while something dark and unsettlingly alluring settled over his eyes. All the fun had disappeared from his expression. All that remained was... brutal desire.

A shiver ran through my entire body.

The urge to swallow threatened to choke me.

There was a quiet threat in his eyes. The same one he had made before the winter ball at my student accommodation.

And somewhere deep in my restless mind, I had not the slightest doubt that he, too, had limits that, if crossed, could lead to things I didn’t even want to imagine.

The forbidden tingling between my heated thighs grew ever more relentless.

Then a hand slid in front of Miles' eyes.

Suits Theme

Christopher Tyng

I blinked.

My gaze drifted to the red-haired natural beauty with black moonstone earrings – set in gold – who sat down on the table next to Miles. The Transformed.

Miles took his eyes off me and looked up at the Ruisangor girl with the doll-like face.

She tossed her copper curls over her shoulder and laughed before she began to speak, leaning closer to Miles.

What was she doing here?

It was as if this girl was glued to him.

Wasn't it enough that there were women who actually fell for Miles DeLoughrey?

But this one was different. Elegantly dressed, like Vivienna, only in black, with a perfect body. And the way she was sitting on this table, leaning into Miles, only served to show off her feminine curves even more.

There was not a single man on the lower learning level who wasn't staring at her, and even Vivienna and the other Quatura were eyeing the girl, albeit with pure envy.
