"The kiss. Was it good?"
Sarah's heart stopped beating for a second while staring into those inquisitive, menacing eyes. Her lips trembled as they parted, but her voice was gone.
Deep in her brain, she knew the answer. It wasn't about whether it was good or bad since it was an accident, but it did send electricity across her nerves. It was a strange experience, but she couldn't say it. His eyes were looking for a yes or no answer and neither seemed would please him.
"What?" Maxen cocked his head to the side, arching a brow. "Can't answer?"
Sarah lowered her head and clutched her hand on her lap. "Please forgive me."
"Huh?"
"I didn't mean to do that." Tears filled her eyes as she raised her head at him. "Don't kill me. I will be careful next time."
Maxen looked at her from head to toe briefly. "You think I will kill you?"
"No... sir."
