My eyes couldn't stop enjoying the wonderful view, it was impossible for me to look away from Vincen God, it was so hot in here.

-Are you hot?- Vincent's question made me look up at his eyes and I got scared thinking that he had t

-What?- I asked, bewildered, moving the glass of water away from my lips, while thinking of anything The sky is blue, roses are red, and I didn't want to think about your mouth anymore.

This wasn't working.

-You said it's hot.-

I sighed in relief, thanking the heavens that Vincent didn't know what was going on in my head. I had -I'm freezing.-

I'd keep you warm.

-It must be because you're shirtless. Let me help you with your jacket, I'm the one who dirtied your clothes down and have a glass of water, his hand unexpectedly reached me, stopping me from leaving my imp -Abby, no, you're not okay.- He said seriously, and a tingle ran through my body as he was now closer the response I was about to give him.

-I'm fine, I feel fine.- I replied cheerfully, making my best effort not to divert my eyes from his worried body.

-Let me finish cleaning your clothes and go celebrate with the others for Sarah's wonderful news.- Yes, that was the healthiest thing for my mind right now.

fect and well-worked torso, was he hiding all of that under his elegant suits?

er to read my thoughts, if that was the case, he must know everything I have imagined in less than a minute just by admiring every muscle of his attractive her than my hands roaming every inch of his body.

quickly changed the subject, intending to dissipate my dirty thoughts. As I was about to get off the washing machine where Vincent had forced me to sit d seat. few seconds ago, it was just a matter of stretching my hand and I would be feeling his skin with the tips of my fingers. I cleared my throat, trying to focus on incent raised one eyebrow as if he didn't fully believe me and I ended up finishing my glass of water to get rid of the heat that was starting to invade my

-I won't do that. I'm fine here, and in very good company.- His husky voice sent shivers down my spine cially when his cold hands stopped at my waist and his body got so close to mine that he almost endec Suddenly, I stopped to think about Vincent's drastic change and curiosity began to overwhelm me, I wanted to know what led him to become a cold man with women and completely unromantic, I mean, there mɩ -Where did the idea of contracts come from? Why sign clauses in order to be with a woman?-

The questions came out of my mouth without giving myself time to think if it could make him uncomfortable, but I didn't care, I wanted to know, I wanted to understand him better and try to understand his reas Of course, he felt uncomfortable, I noticed it in his expression that he tried to hide behind a sweet smile.

-It's hard to explain. That was his response after a few seconds of silence, and I know I should respect his decision for not wanting to give details, but I couldn't remain in the dark, I needed to know, I needed to I looked at him with a displeased face, making it clear that I wouldn't settle for that answer, and he let out a sigh with a amused smile on his face. -Of course, you're dying to know.-

-Exactly, I want to know.- I responded, nodding my head, and Vincent looked straight into my eyes to start talking.

For a second, I came to my senses, realizing that I was acting disrespectful just because I was dying of curiosity, and I thought that I was forcing him to let something out that he would rather keep to himself for t... him comfortable, looking for the right words to answer my questions.

-When I was a teenager, I fell in love for the first time, but I couldn't be with her, I couldn't confess my love. From the very beginning, I was aware that nothing would ever happen between us. More than unrequited love, it was a forbidden love.- My eyebrows arched in surprise with the first details of his first heartbreak, it seemed so unfair that he gave up just because of a failed love.

-But why? Don't tell me they were from different social classes or that their families were enemies, like Romeo and Juliet.-

I tried to guess because it was supposed to be a forbidden love, and damn, if he was in love with her, he should have done something more than stay silent like a complete idiot. -Didn't you even try anything with her?-

-No, Abby, I didn't try anything, not even the slightest. And I would have preferred if the reason was because of the difference in social class or because our families hated each other to death, then I wouldn't have cared at all and would have confessed what I felt, but it goes beyond that.-

I furrowed my brow, understanding less than before. What could be so serious for it to be forbidden... Then, a crazy idea crossed my mind and I looked at him with wider eyes than usual. It couldn't be. No, it was impossible. I must be thinking wrong, it couldn't be true. -Because she's your cousin.- That w
