Chapter 13. Claimed by Him

**Clap Clap Clap**

“That was quite a cute little show…now…try your best to stay very still,” Hayden said as he clapped his hand with pleasure.

Lazily, Hayden slowly stood up from his seat and came to stand directly in front of me. He’s so close…we’re not even an arm’s length away from each other. I felt my body freeze as his blue eyes locked with mine. For the life of me, no matter how I struggled internally, I couldn’t look away from his captivating eyes.

I held my breath and for a moment, I forgot to breath entirely. I didn’t know what he wanted from me.

“Ah…” I let out a slight sound and quickly bit my lower lip to silence myself.

Hayden had reached out a hand and touched my right shoulder with the back of his hand before running his fingertips slowly and softly down my right arm.

“What are you…doing?” I asked stunned.

“Inspecting your body, what else?” Hayden replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
