"Do you know that Ileus has a chest full of these books?" Kaizan said to Anastasia.
The girl stilled. Heat on her face spread to her neck and suddenly the sweater she was wearing felt like she was wrapped in flames. Feeling extremely inappropriate standing near him, she almost shrank. She gulped and peered at Ileus. But the man was looking pretty smug.
He shrugged and said with nonchalance, "Well, would you like to see those books, Ana? They are very interesting, I assure you."
"I do not want to see them. I assure you!" she snapped. Saying that Anastasia stomped away from there feeling so embarrassed that she hoped the ground would swallow her. But the problem was that her curiosity increased and before the ground swallowed her, she really wanted to see inside the book. What the hell was in that book? Only if she could peek a glance in it. She sighed and silently prayed to the ground to keep still.
