As Alexander and I stared at each other, an electric current passed between us. The intense expression in his dark eyes made my legs shake.

My leg bounced under the table became 1 could feel his searing gaze on me. I heard the scrap of the chair on the floor as he sat down and the sounds of him serving himself food
When I reached for my cold glass of water, I chanced a glance at him. His brow was furrowed, and when he met my gaze, he sighed.
