Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate (Adelaide) novel Chapter 145

I shut the dom and walked around the truck and walked around the front keeping her in my

peripheral as I climbed in and started it up. Her lace was turned away from me, her body

language tucked into herself, closed off to repel me from engaging with her Thoughts of how

to word what I wanted to say swirled in my mind and the barbed silence sliced at me like a
