Ethan stood by the side, his hands folded into fists, his knuckles white from the pressure.
The pain of standing by the side and unable to reach for her was unbearable.
He couldn't touch her.
He could ask if she was okay.
He was just a common guard.
And even when he had a chance to save her, he didn't and Seven had been a step ahead of him.
His eyes lifted to the man standing by the railing, and his jaw clenched as he saw how he was looking at her.
The look in his eyes.
He knew it.
Seven liked Ruri.
The noise in the room dissolved into a high pitched sound as his gaze moved from Seven to Ruri.
His throat tightened. She was looking at him.
Was she grateful that he'd saved her?
There was only a think line between being grateful and falling for someone.
No...
He couldn't let that happen.
Without thinking Ethan took a step forward.
''I'll bring the lady to the bed. '' he spat before he could think.
