"Mmnn . . ."

Evangeline groaned when she felt something dripping from her mouth. Her eyes flung open, back shot straight. She wiped the drool from her lips with her handkerchief while glancing left and right. When she made sure that no one was around, it was only when she breathed a sigh of relief. But only to be startled when she heard low soft breaths beside her. Glancing at her right, she blinked several times, trying to ascertain who it was who was sleeping so soundly.

She frowned when she couldn't recognize the man. He was peacefully sleeping on top of his crossing arms propped on the table. His head was facing her direction, and half of his face was hidden beneath his arms. His thick dark, messy hair fell on one side of his forehead showing his bushy brows and those unbelievable dense, long lashes. He had straight, proud nose paired with a sexy jawline and sensual lips.

The man was unbelievably soul-stirring!

Who?

Evangeline felt that he was oddly familiar and not at the same time.

She, at the age of soon to be twenty, already saw all kinds of men. The beautiful type. The flirtatious type. The quiet and aloof type. The mysterious type.

But this man just smashed her standards of beauty and remade it a new. He couldn't even be compared to Daniel's charms nor Asher's allure. Yet somehow, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

His skin was deathly pale, and with his dense dark hair, brows and lashes, he looked ethereal. And yet, she found herself fascinated at his sharp features that she unknowingly stared at him without blinking.

The man opened his eyes, and her lilac orbs rounded. Her breathing hitched and her heart hammered inside her chest, wanting to break free and crawled its way to him.

The sleeping angel woke up and turned into a deadly alluring demon with cold silver irises.

Eric blinked. He rubbed his eyes before he grabbed his glasses and put in on.

And the godly sexy demon turned into a mortal.

"Sorry," Eric said, voice raspy. "You were asleep when I got here. I didn't want to wake you up. I didn't know that I fell asleep as well."

He stretched his neck, and ran his fingers through his hair and finally, settled his eyes at Evangeline.

"You okay?" he asked when Evangeline didn't answer as she continued to stare at him with mouth hanging open.
