A moan threatened to spill past Annalise's lips but got changed into a little cry of surprise when she was suddenly snatched away from Damien before he could proceed any further.
She felt his hands and mouth leaving her body and she immediately felt the loss. Her feet came in contact with the warm rug on the floor and if not for the person holding her from behind, she would definitely have ended up falling as her knees felt too wobbly to handle her weight.
"She's all mine... for now." A calm and soft voice sounded beside her. She struggled to turn her head to see the Winter Prince but she was stopped by Damien who planted a last soft kiss on her lips before stepping away.
Annalise finally got the chance to turn around and face Valerius who was silently watching her, his ice-blue eyes stared at her with love and warmth.
