”I don ’t know. ” Alicia answered immediately. ”I don ’t know! Why don ’t you just say it and let ’s find out what I will end up doing?! Huh? Why don ’t we do that? ” she yelled at him in frustration, not caring that she was challenging him right now.

Ezekiel stilled for a moment in the middle of his movements then he shook his head a little. ”Listen to me, Alicia. ” His voice seemed to turn deeper if that was even possible. ”If I answer I know what you will do… it ’s either that you end up kissing or killing me. And right now… ” she watched apprehensively as his throat work after hearing him replied to her that way. He had swallowed hard as his deep and penetrating gaze smouldered at her.

A warning was clearly flashing like lightning in his irises. ”… whatever you end up doing, whatever path you decide on… once I give you my answer, I will… ” he paused for quite a few breaths after that. Alicia felt herself holding her breath and her heart rate seemed to speed up.

”You will what? ” she challenged, as she could no longer take his silence. She was secretly dying to know what he would do. She dared to challenge him, not knowing where her courage came from. She could feel it. Whatever it was that he had been warning her from… seemed beyond serious to him. Or else he would not be warning her of it. Giving her a chance to reconsider. And if he were to follow her lead and go ahead and do it, nothing would stop him then.

The look in his eyes sent shivers down her spine and those words and voice of his made her stomach clench in a knot. Yet it did not offend her despite the way he phrased it. In fact, it did the exact opposite, and she was bravely or idiotically pressing for it. It was as though she was a moth that was inexplicably drawn to that attractive yet deadly flame.

”What, Ezekiel?! ” she snapped. And it was getting tiring, frustrating, and goddamned maddening to the point that she is almost about to pull out her hair in clumps. Yet she kept desiring him, lusting after him despite all these. She hated it. She hated what she had become since the moment he had touched her. She did not like that she had become this desirous and a woman full of hatred. ”Just stop this tiresome madness and spit it out loud for goodness ’ sake. You will what? Kill me?! ” she raged at him. She did not realise that in her anger, her eyes were spitting fire and had turned her into a flaming seductress in Ezekiel ’s hungry gaze.
