Aurora's movement was a blur, her speed and strength propelling her forward. She grasped Sebastian's shirt, pinning him to the wall with a ferocity that made the air crackle.
Her eyes flashed with murder, piercing his very soul. "You're glad about a bond you shattered."
Sebastian's lips curled into a reckless smile, his chest heaving against hers. "Shouldn't we thank the goddess it's not broken?"
Aurora's sneer deepened. "You think a bond that's been ravaged can be salvaged?"
Sebastian's silver eyes burned with desire. "Your scent still intoxicates me, Ma méchante. Your murderous glare... it still awakens something within me."
The air thickened, heavy with tension. Her proximity to him amplified his scent... the calming essence of spring rain on green grass, the rich warmth of vanilla.
Her senses reeled, her body betraying her rage. The scent wrapped around her, a seductive snare.
