Valerian sounded like he would not let me go if I chose not to dance with him. I could tell based on how he was looking at me.
"Well?" He wriggled his eyebrows. His sly smile was something.
He looked so dashing and beguiling. It was making me want to be fucked by him right now.
The tension between us was palpable. Both of us did not break eye contact. This was making me feel the butterflies in my stomach.
"I am famished, Your Grace. I haven't eaten anything yet. My apologies," I said before directing my attention to the food.
But while doing that, I was looking for my siblings who were busy with their peers. I wanted to mindlink one of them since being Valerian was dangerous, knowing he looked so angry under that apathetic expression.
I thought Valerian would give up on me, but I thought wrong. No, I already knew, but I chose to ignore the fact.
