Her Forever (Book 3)- Chapter 8

Willa’s POV

The two suns were close to be high in the sky by the time I woke up the next day. I didn’t sleep well at all from the night before. I was too bothered by the feeling I was being watched at the lake.

The way he would grind his teeth and hold his fists tight frightened me and it didn’t bring me comfort at all. I had no feelings for Carlos, they just weren’t there for me. However it was very real to him

His features were sharp and even just from sitting down he looked tall, if I stood next to him, I’m sure I would see him eye to eye. I was holding my breath as I took in this beautiful creature. Not once in my life had my heart skipped a beat for a man but there he was.
