I was frozen to my spot, watching his slightly darkened eyes roam my body and I couldn't help the embarrassment that suddenly coursed through me. Heat rushed up to my face as I timidly moved my eyes away from his intense gaze, crossing my bare legs over one another as I bit my lip. I felt completely vulnerable. The silence was soon thankfully broken when he cleared his throat, bringing my eyes back up to find him turn around to shut the bedroom door. ----------------------------------------------------------- Constantly having to move from town to town due to her father's condition was never easy for Aria Clark.
