Chapter 241

• "What next?" I repeated her question and stepped closer to her, so close till there was but a hair's space between us, "What next?" I whispered subtly and relished at her sharp intake of breath when the fabrics of our clothes brushed together and even through the clothes, there were sparks reminding me of what we shared and how much effect she had over me.
• She didn't smell of him anymore, she smelled more of me now having spent the rest of the ball with me after she had finished a secret conversation as she called it with Octavia, Queen of the Gorgons who also happened to be Imelda's mother, and after that, she had spent the night by my side, having sweet moments with me making me forget about her time with Cyrus.
• I reached out my hand to brush a lock of hair that fell over her face, I grazed the pad of my finger down the curve of her cheek and she let out a sigh almost melting against me, "First, I will carry you over the threshold." And with that, I swooped down lifting her in my arms with ease, her squeals filled the air as I threw her up and caught her in my arms when she fell back down.
