Chapter 62. This Is Not Me!

Nina POV

I sat across from Ryder, watching as he popped a juicy grape into his mouth. His eyes closed in appreciation, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

Was he not against me stepping out, but he had already consumed half of the fruits?

Ugmo! I taunted in my head and scoffed, yet my eyes moved back to his face, watching him bite into the fruits.

I swallowed, noticing the way the sunlight danced across his features, highlighting the sharp planes of his face.... It was mesmerizing.

My gaze flicked down to his mouth, watching as it moved with each bite... Just like the way they moved against mine.

Damnit! I cleared my throat and readjusted, feeling fucking uncomfortable.

As he chewed, his gaze drifted open, and our eyes met. For a moment, we just looked at each other. And I felt drowning in the depth of those intense blue eyes. But then, he sent me a cocky smirk, and I quickly looked away, my heart racing.

“Fuck you, asshole,”
