I tense up as he pulls my dress down, leaving me standing in nothing but a simple white slip, and I feel vulnerable and exposed.
"You look perfect," he whispers.
I am about to turn towards him when he removes the slip off of my body, leaving me completely bare. I activate my magic again, temporarily freeing myself from the burden of hating him, as I feel his hot breath on my skin.
"You're beautiful," he murmurs.
But then I gasp as his lips touch my bare skin again. His arm winds around my waist, pulling me closer to him while he continues to shower my back with kisses.
"Wait… Calais…"
But he doesn't listen. Instead, he winds his arm around my waist and continues to kiss my bare skin slowly, sensually. And every time I pull away, he only tightens his grip on me.
"You will become my wife soon, Lyrica," he whispers, his voice laced with possessiveness and desire.
The door suddenly opens, and my attention goes to the sound. Tiana.
