Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 67
“Sweet dreams, Benjamin.”
She whispered tenderly, then turned to look at Windsor. Even in the thick darkness, her gaze pierced him sharply.
He had no choice but to speak.
“Sleep well, Benjamin.”
Only then did Benjamin close his sparkling eyes. Clutching Colin in one hand, the boy immediately sank into a deep slumber.
His barely clinging consciousness plummeted instantly into the abyssal depths of unconsciousness.
Jacqueline, who had been standing guard beside the bed, lifted her heels and tiptoed quietly toward the couch. She half-lay down on the long chair and closed her eyes.
Amid the sound of rain, Benjamin’s steady breathing could be heard.
A restless silence.
Within it flowed a tense, precarious tension, like a tightly stretched thread. Even with her eyes closed, she clearly felt the man’s gaze upon her.
The eyes that had brushed her cheek now drifted slowly downward along her neck. Lingering briefly over her collarbone, that gaze traveled down her shoulder and followed the line of her arm to her fingertips.
Suddenly, her throat went dry. Overcome by a burning thirst, Jacqueline unconsciously licked her lower lip. The distant gaze rose again.
It settled on her lips and lingered there for a long moment. Jacqueline held her breath, acutely aware of the heat gathering on her lips.
She couldn’t move at all. It felt as if the slightest twitch would change everything.
She could feel the awkward stiffness creeping to the corners of her mouth, yet she could neither smile nor cry. She couldn’t even recall how she normally breathed.
