Seraphina's POV
I stood there in the middle of his office, slowly turning in a circle, searching for any sign of him.
Nothing.
Adrian was gone.
Again.
A dry laugh escaped me before I could stop it. Of course, he ran. Classic Adrian Blackwood—king of vanishing, the second things got heated.
This was now the second time he'd disappeared right after something intimate happened. Last night, and now this. I guess we have a pattern.
Step 1: Kiss.
Step 2: Panic.
Step 3: Abort mission and vanish like smoke.
Fantastic.
Was he that disgusted by me? That desperate to get away?
I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head at myself. What the hell was I even thinking? Of course, he was disgusted. Why would Adrian Blackwood want to be intimate with me?
And nothing more.
Even knowing that, it still stung. And I hated that it stung.
I took a slow breath and grabbed the signed form from his desk. At least I got what I came for. Congratulations to me. Achievement unlocked.
