His abrupt response rooted Zoe in her vulnerable spot. "Is he out of his head?"He was at the remote end of the mysterious cavern. His broad back was facing her in the way that he was contemplating the sudden turn of unusual events.
She didn"t want to disturb his overcrowded train of thoughts. Hence, she decided to creep in and approach her as silent as a mouse.
She was puzzled if he had an idea regarding how they could get out of that odd place. Maybe aside from swimming back again to where she arose out of.
She just came out from a fierce battle under the cruel sea with a human monster. If it wasn"t for this hero in front of her, she would be a frozen fish by now.
"I would not go back out there!" She worked out to herself as she stepped forward.
But as she went on, her right foot slip and the treacherous rocks hurled her off balance. She was about to fall among the jagged rocks.
When in a fraction of a second, his hand flew and drifted towards her hip so that he could catch her that instant.
Her naturally calm heart hammered wildly in her chest. She almost died. Again. Her well-preserved skull almost got smashed by the ragged edges of the cave rocks.
She stared wonderingly at the chivalrous guy who kept on miraculously appearing in his life. He was always at the exact time that she was on a brink of the gravest danger.
"How many considerable times has this man showed up to my rescue?" She mused as she flashed back up into his captivating turquoise eyes.
He dove into the raging waters amidst the turbulent weather. His driving force was to a.s.sist her in rescuing the two helpless victims in an upturned boat. That happened on her first day at Lord Howe Island.
He was likewise present to veil her up when a perverted group of drunken men was leering at her. It was late at night then.
She was alone in her bikinis and was looking for her beach robe, which she misplaced while saving the two women.
He also restrained Lady Zhou from striking her. She got furious at her for prioritizing her slave more than her.
"That wicked witch," her expressive eyebrows furrowed with just the mere thought of her.
There was even this remarkable instance when a bold hired gunman of Lady Zhōu almost stabbed this considerate man to his untimely death.
She glanced at him again, who was also staring at her without batting an eyelash.
A few minutes ago, a vicious a.s.sailant attacked her underwater. If he didn"t manage to come in time, she wouldn"t be alive and breathing anymore.
If he was the same guy in her dreams, that would be six times!
He was there when ferocious beasts were preying in on her and scrambling to make her their delicious dinner for that night.
And now, this. She watched breathlessly as his soft kind expression bore into her.
"I thought I didn"t need a savior. But when I met you, I realized I needed one."
She wanted to voice it out, but she couldn"t. His sultry eyes were probing her also with silent intensity.
She felt his fingers on her spine, and they sent s.h.i.+vers out of her. She was expecting him to lift her and support her, so she could regain her balance again.
But instead, his firm hand settled there. He even pulled her closer to him.
"Wait, what is he doing?" She inhaled sharply as she gazed thoughtfully into his strikingly attractive features.
His dark prominent eyebrows were brooding over his oceanic blue eyes.
His pointed nose was ideally situated at the center. And his soft thin lips were exactly right for his well-proportioned face.
Her dainty fingers twitched as she realized that they were against his warm chest, which is chiseled to ideal perfection.
"Must he be so perfect?" She splayed her hand against it, intending to push him away. But she just couldn"t.
He was desperately eager for her to survive. She is alone with him in the sweet ambiance of this hidden sanctuary.
These reasons stirred up her irresistible desire to enjoy the momentous feeling.
His warm breath ghosted across her lovely face. The fierce heat radiating from his body seemed to travel through her veins, warming her.
His shapely head was inclined slightly to the left side as his sensuous lips came closer and closer to hers.
"Wait, is he intending to kiss me?"
He has never had a man in her life. And she is saving her first kiss for the one who would sincerely love her for whom she is.
Someone who would genuinely cherish her weaknesses and her fierce temper. Somebody who would willingly accept her past and embracing it with her present.
He could be that man. But she was uncertain about him yet. She urged herself to push away, but she couldn"t.
"Are you the one?" She mused as she stared wonderingly at his thin cherubic lips gradually approaching hers.
She was surprised to find her own lips parted. Her heart fluttered inside her chest as he was only a few inches away from her.
