Chapter 45

A low, magnetic voice slowly echoed by Zelda's ear, tinged with a seductive allure that made her earlobes blush red. When she looked up, her eyes met Damian's intense, dark gaze. This time, unlike his usual calm demeanor, his eyes held a rising, unmistakable desire. Damian was being serious. This realization flashed through Zelda's mind, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. The spacious room felt like an enclosed space at that moment, and their close proximity filled Zelda's senses with his scent. Seeing that she wasn't saying anything, Damian leaned even closer. It was only then that she snapped out of her daze, her long lashes fluttering as she quickly pulled away. Noticing her reaction, Damian didn't press further. He straightened up, his eyes still on her. Feeling awkward, Zelda shifted a bit. Looking at the flawlessly handsome man in front of her, she opened her mouth to speak, but her voice was raspy. After a long pause, she finally mumbled, "Well... Um, thanks!"
