Lady Kira's eyes snapped open, her pupils dilating as Kae's words hung in the air. She searched his face, seeking reassurance, but found only an unreadable mask.
"Once I give myself to you?" she repeated, her voice barely above a whisper.
Kae's smile grew, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Yes, my lady. Once you surrender to me, there's no turning back. You'll be mine, completely and utterly."
Lady Kira's cheeks flushed, her breath quickening. She seemed to tremble, her resolve wavering for an instant before she steadied herself.
"I understand," she whispered, her voice laced with determination. "I'm willing to take that risk."
Kae's chuckle sent shivers down her spine. "I thought you would be," he murmured, his fingers tracing the curve of her jaw.
As his touch ignited a fire within her, Lady Kira realized she was playing with flames. But she couldn't help herself; she was drawn to Kae's darkness, his power, and his promise of pleasure.
