Chapter 82 (Yearning)

She bit her lower lip and cursed under her breath, not knowing what to say or what to do. And yes, he was strong--only his grip around her waist was enough proof that he was strong. All she could think of at that moment was; how she was going to escape his hold without seeming weak. She was still in the middle of thinking about her next line of action when he spoke:
