The crisp night air, the crunching of snow beneath our boots, and the concealment of darkness welcomed me after my feverish state moments ago. At first, I didn't accept Kharis' magick gem to warm me against the bite of the cold. I needed to cool down my oversensitive skin and the heat that was cursing me.
The cold was precisely what I needed to stay clear-minded. Now that I was away from Theo, I kept replaying what happened between us. There was nothing wrong with it, but a part of me felt guilty about Eryx. Even though we could only just bear each other's company, I felt terrible for almost mating with the Alpha Prince and then jumping into bed with Theo.
I hadn't even been suffering from my heat after Eryx until I was cuddling with Theo, and I could feel his arousal. It then called to my own and… I shook my head, clearing my thoughts of my slave. Leaving him behind like that also made me feel bad.
