Alaric just showed up, uninvited, crowding her space without any warning, pushing her back into the house.
If he discovered the kids, she’d be in tears for sure.
In her frantic state, her temper flared. She swatted Alaric’s hand away from her chin and glared at him, fury mixing with embarrassment. “And why

The icy touch of her fingertips against his burning skin felt like an electric shock, sending a shiver through him.
Alaric’s gaze darkened, his grip firm on her wrists, neutralizing her attempts to push him away.
She was petite, barely reaching his shoulder, and as he looked down at her, a mischievous smirk played on his lips. “So, did I guess right? Are you
