"Then how do you want it to be?" Kenric questioned with interest as he started taking steps toward her.
However, Annalise was quick to pull away completely from the three of them as she responded with a smile - "Dare to surprise me?"
"Are you challenging us, Princess?" Damien demanded as he looked at her with his deep raven eyes that emitted the power of pure desire and competence.
"Only if you dare."
Annalise realized it way too late that she just mistakenly challenged Damien directly. But she had no time to correct her mistake.
A groan was pulled from the Second Dark Lord's throat, and before Annalise could even blink, he moved in a blur, coming at her so fast that she could neither move away nor stop him.
His lips crashed against hers almost violently as he shoved his hand in her hair, turning her head to give him better access as his tongue swept in and stole her breath.
