I sit across from Elijah, trying to focus on the dinner conversation, but my gaze keeps drifting back to him.
Why do I find to captivating? Those piercing green eyes, smooth skin and radiant smile. It's as if the universe conspired against me to create this masterpiece.
What's wrong with me? I've never been drawn to a man before. I'm not....gay. Am I?.
I glance around the table, ensuring no one notices my distraction.
Elijah is just charming that's all. I rationalize my thoughts. It's just his confidence and wit.
But deep down, I know it's more.
I recall our earlier encounter, the spark when our eyes met. The way my heart races.
Stop it Dante!. I mentally chastise. You're going to marry his sister. FOCUS.
Those lips, those eye lashes....perfection. I feel a flutter in my chest, a sensation foreign and unsettling.
What's happening to me?
Luka, sitting beside me, notices my gaze fixed on Elijah.
"Brother, you seem entranced" Luka whispers, his voice laced with amusement. I snap back to reality, attempting to compose myself.
"Just admiring the decor" I lie, trying to sound nonchalant. Luka chuckles, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Decor, huh? Specifically, the green-eyed variety?"
I shoot Luka a warning glance. "Shut up, Luka."
He leans in, his voice barely audible. "You're not exactly subtle, brother. I've seen that look before "
My face warms, and I glance around the table. Hoping no one else has noticed. "What look?" I hiss trying to maintain my composure.
Luka smirks. "The 'I'm-intrigued-but-trying-to-denying-it' look."
I glare at Luka. "You're imagining things"
Luka raises an ayebrow
"Am I?"
