"Curiosity is a dangerous game, Miss Evans."I froze. Slowly, I turned around to find the billionaire himself standing just inches away, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his tailored trousers. I braced myself for his notorious temper, but his sculpted face was a mask of cold, unreadable calm. With slow, deliberate steps, he advanced. I retreateduntil my back hit the solid wood of the forbidden door.He didnt yell.

His voice was a lethal whisper, his face hovering so dangerously close to mine that the air vanished from my lungs. My mind went blank, entirely consumed by the intoxicating proximity between us."I asked you a question," he murmured."T-that there are... prohibited areas in the house. Rooms I shouldnt enter.""It seems you remember the rules," he replied, his gaze dropping to my lips. "This room is one of them. Next time, think very carefully before you invite trouble."I couldnt look away from those piercing, sea-colored eyes. No man had ever made my pulse race like this. It was a terrifying, electric feelingone I had never experienced before.
