It was like when you step off a treadmill and your whole body wants to keep moving, but the floor doesn't do that anymore, so you're forced to slow down. Whatever this sensation was, it threw me, and I stood helplessly enthralled in Alejandro's captivating eyes.
As I'd suspected, conning this stunning man would be impossible.
