"A-A date!?"
Rafine was stunned.
She had already imagined all the things Nolan might ask her to do.
But a date?
Seeing her confusion, Nolan gave a slight nod before bringing his face closer to hers.
Rafine instinctively moved backward, but Nolan placed a hand around her waist.
The hairs on the back of Rafine's neck stood on end. She wanted to push him away, but she couldn't. For some reason, her body felt weak.
Their faces were only half a span apart. Rafine could even smell the wine on Nolan's breath.
"I'm serious, Young Lady Rafine. I'm not asking for money, power, or anything like that."
His warm breath brushed against Rafine's earlobe, making her heart race.
"I just want to go on a date with you. So think it over before you give me your answer."
He removed his hand from Rafine's waist and stepped back.
Rafine stood there dazed, as if she still couldn't believe what had just happened.
This man had teased her again and again, even going so far as to touch her.
