"If you're just focusing on me and staring at me like that, you're leaving yourself wide open to attacks from behind. In a war, you'd already be injured or dead," Leo said.
What he said made sense, but this wasn't a war. This was just a duel between me and him.
"Again," he commanded, suddenly not behind me anymore but now standing far away. Even though he'd been so close before, now it felt like there was an unbridgeable distance between us. Looking at him, it was like facing an insurmountable wall. It didn't make sense. Normally, I could sense someone's limits, but with him? He had no ceiling. It was like he hadn't even reached his full potential yet, and still, he was toying with me. How much more powerful could he get? How far could he go?
Even though I wasn't the one being talked about, I felt a thrill. Yeah… he had every right to be my mate. I'd surrender myself to him, no question.
