I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 811

I added plenty of honey to the ginger tea to mellow out the spice, hoping it would be palatable.

Steven's gaze was intense as he stared at me. I guiltily looked away, but my heart was pounding uncontrollably.

Neither of us said a word, yet the atmosphere grew strangely delicate.

I could feel my cheeks growing warm. "I'm going to sleep," I announced. "Turn off the light when you're done!"

With that, I quickly slipped into bed and turned my back to him. I was being so strange today—or rather, I'd been strange lately. It felt like I was losing control of my own heart, always doing things that just frustrated me.

I knew I didn't have to take care of Steven, yet every time, I couldn't help myself. I used to be head over heels for him, so I knew exactly what this kind of behavior meant.

Just as I was lost in thought, the room plunged into darkness. Steven had turned off the light.

Then, an arm tightened around my waist as Steven pressed against me, pulling me into a tight embrace.

I could barely move, and a wave of irritation washed over me. I tried to pry his arm off, but he wouldn't budge.

"Let me go. Give me some space."

Instead, he held me even tighter. His body was so warm and comfortable that a part of me wanted to stay there just a little longer.

"No, Zephyra. You won't leave me, will you?" His voice was laced with anxiety.

I wondered if seeing Horace today had made him so worried about this.
