He held her, finding a comforting warmth, a relief from all weariness.
Mitchel didn’t just lean in. He wrapped her up in a full embrace.
His breath on Raegan’s neck sent tingles through her. With each breath, she felt a surge of warmth. Raegan’s cheeks turned a bright shade of red from embarrassment.
Then, suddenly, a knock at the door interrupted them. “Mr. Dixon, Miss Glyn is here.”
Raegan tensed up, the warmth she’d felt vanishing instantly.
Mitchel’s expression turned into a slight frown as he pulled back a little, his eyes locked on her face, catching every subtle emotion.
Raegan’s expression was icy, a wave of awkwardness washing over her.
Erick was right. Getting involved with Mitchel was a mistake. Now, she was the one left feeling uncomfortable.
