Oh, God! She wanted the earth to open up and swallow her.
This couldn't be happening to her. She refused to believe that the fates would be so wicked as to ruin her carefully crafted plan.
She'd already envisioned how their first meeting would go. He would invite her on a date. She would show up all dolled up and he would be absolutely smitten with her. So much so that he would realize they were soulmates and he could never be parted again from her—thereby stealing her away from her tyrannical family and running away with her in the world.
It was the perfect plan. But now, that was being jeopardized by Mr. Mammoth who was still holding on to her arm too tightly.
She sneered at him, baring her teeth as she gave another tug. Now she couldn't even vocalize her protest for fear Blue might hear her.
"Can't you see the lady wants to be released?" Blue continued, coming closer.
Dear God, I'm going to expire on the spot.
"What is it to you? I have business with her," the other man intoned in a harsh tone, clearly telling Blue to step aside.
"She doesn't want any business with you."
By God, why was he continuing? Noelle thought his past deeds as a good Samaritan that had bitten him in the ass would have been enough to stop him from going around trying to be a hero. But it seemed Blue wasn't the type to stay quiet in the face of an injustice. She didn't know if she wanted to be angry with him or kiss him for it.
Blue stopped in front of the other man, his body so close to hers she felt a shiver down her back.
"Let her go," he stated clearly, toe to toe with the much more muscular man and not backing down one inch even as the other guy attempted to stare him down.
Noelle yelped in pain as his hold became tighter and she sought to free herself once more. This time, Blue intervened personally as he grabbed the other guy's hand and forcefully unclasped his fingers off her.
"If I were you, I wouldn't cause a scene. There are cameras," Blue nodded to the CCTV in the corner. "You'll only look worse if there is an investigation. Assault isn't taken lightly," he spoke calmly.
The other man seemed to want to argue, but after a moment he decided to cut his losses and turn away.
Noelle was breathing hard as she massaged her arm, unable to believe what had just happened.
Blue, though, was on her at once.
"Are you alright? Oh no, he grabbed you so hard," he murmured worriedly as he regarded her arm.
Noelle pushed her chin down so he wouldn't look at her face.
"Does it hurt? Do you want me to get you a cold compress to put on top of it? Maybe some menthol cream?"
Noelle shook her head at him, her lips tightly pressed together.
This was everything she'd ever dreamed. Blue was before her. Touching her. But she couldn't possibly reveal herself when she didn't even go to his school!
The other guy had been right. She was an impostor and a thief. And to top it off, she was a certified stalker, too. If Blue found that out…
"You're too shaken. I understand. But you don't have to worry about me. I won't hurt you," he assured her as he massaged her skin lightly.
The touch of his flesh on top of hers was…heavenly.
Noelle couldn't contain the sigh of contentment that escaped her lips. God, she wished for nothing more than to lean into him and cuddle in his arms—purr like a kitten at being enveloped in his warmth and scent.
And my, oh my, what a scent.
She took a step forward as she breathed him in. He smelled absolutely delicious—unlike anything she'd ever experienced before.
All at once, a wave of longing hit her, harder than ever before.
I need to get out of here.
