He tilted his head slightly, eyes studying her quietness.
"You're very quiet," he said.
She blinked, startled. "I... am I?"
Before she could step back, he moved closer, not touching her, but close enough for her breath to hitch. His presence felt like a wall she hadn't seen coming.
"Hm," he murmured, his voice low, husky, unreadable.
His gaze lingered on her face, on the way her lips parted in confusion.
Interesting, he thought. Dangerously so.
"Why do you look so shocked?" he asked calmly, though his eyes said something else entirely.
She swallowed. "W-what are you talking about?"
A faint smile curved his lips, slow and unsettling. "Relax," he said. "I was just curious."
Then he stepped back, as if nothing had happened, leaving her standing there with a racing heart and a thousand unanswered thoughts.
Hey, my readers,
If you're wondering what happens next... well, for that, you'll have to read my book Her Shyness.
Our female lead is shy, introverted, and constantly tangled in her own thoughts. But don't mistake her silence for innocence. She is enough bold to take her stand .
And our male lead?
Let's just say he's intense, rude, and dangerously captivating. He doesn't soften easily. But with her... he's different. Still dark. Still sharp. Just not someone who wants to harm her.
Before you imagine a fairytale romance, let me stop you right there.
This is not a fairytale.
This is dark romance.
The story contains strong emotions, heavy tension, and themes that may not be comfortable for everyone. Please read only if you're comfortable. I'm not forcing anyone.
Thank you for being here.
Now... the story truly begins π€π
