Ray POV
I didn't understand why, but seeing that "hot" hostess up close made me gag, just like seeing everyone else, men or women, up close. Even with my own family or Anok, I made sure that they were all at arm's length at most, because seeing anyone up close was too disgusting for me.
But Claudia was different. She was the only one that I could bear to see up close.
The only one that I'd kiss day and night.
Maybe my grandpa was right. Gatlin men were overly loyal to their beloved ones unless their hearts had been truly shattered with no way to recover.
But with that extreme loyalty also came extreme possessiveness, to the point that it became difficult to differentiate between love, lust, and obsession.
When we were still dating, it was all the lust of a young man for such a gorgeous woman, and when I finally met her again, it was just obsession.
But now, it was all three mixed into one.
