"A–Ad—"
"Sshhh…"
Adam clamped his hand over Chasey's mouth, pressing her body harder against his until she nestled into the crook of his neck.
Her heartbeat thundered so violently it blurred her mind, her thoughts drowned in the raw masculinity of Adam's scent.
It had been days since Chasey had kept her distance. She could've just taken the unbonding pill, but she craved the intoxicating scent of Adam so much. Still, not this close. This kind of closeness tore through her defences in a snap.
Adam released her mouth and pulled away slightly. He let out a long sigh. "She's gone. That's why I told you to—"
His words stopped short when he noticed the way Chasey stared blankly at him. He waved a hand in front of her face. "Hey… Chasey…"
But she didn't flinch. Didn't even blink.
Adam gripped her arms and gave her a slight shake. Finally, her eyes flickered and locked with his.
"Why the hell have you been zoning out like this lately? Focus, Chasey. You need to focus!"
