"You should go back to your sleep, I’m good now." Islinda’s voice was soft but firm as she spoke to Valerie, her eyes tracing the contours of his bare chest. In his haste to get to her, he must have forgotten to get decent. As much as she no longer felt something towards him, her body had its own feelings, and mighty thanks to Aldric, it was thrumming with desire. Aware of the precariousness of the situation, she knew she couldn’t allow herself to falter.
Valerie’s disappointment was evident in his eyes as he absorbed Islinda’s words. He must have realized, once again, that their romantic prospects were futile. Islinda had made it clear before, and now it was up to him to accept reality and let go of his hopes for something more between them.
Also, Islinda was wrong. She could never make the mistake of sleeping with Valerie. She couldn’t deny the truth anymore: no one else could compare to Aldric. No offense to Valerie, but the summer Fae simply didn’t ignite the same feelings within her. Aldric had left an indelible mark on her, rendering any other man or Fae incapable of evoking the same intensity of emotion.
As Islinda struggled to maintain her composure, the erotic dream invaded her thoughts, vividly replaying in her mind at the most inconvenient moment. She clenched her teeth to stifle a moan, instinctively pressing her legs together in a futile attempt to quell the arousal surging through her. However, the timing couldn’t have been worse, and the equating result was one she would never forget in a hurry.
As Valerie prepared to depart, a sudden change overcame him, his body tensing noticeably. Islinda watched in surprise as he took a long, deliberate breath, his gaze locking onto hers with a startling intensity that made her freeze in place. Aldric’s words echoed in her mind, reminding her that Fae males possessed the ability to sense a female’s arousal. With a sinking feeling, Islinda realized that Valerie had likely detected her desire.
Fuck.
Islinda remained frozen in place, her heart pounding in her throat as she witnessed the transformation in Valerie’s demeanor. His eyes darkened with a primal intensity, and his features shifted into a more predatory form. Though still handsome, his features became sharper and more pronounced, exuding a seductive allure reminiscent of a predator stalking its prey. The golden pupils surrounded by obsidian black rings seemed to gleam with lust, causing Islinda to gulp nervously, acutely aware of the dangerous desire lurking within Valerie’s gaze.
"Valerie..." Islinda’s voice was cautious, treading carefully so as not to provoke the predatory instincts simmering within him.
Despite Islinda’s cautious approach, Valerie’s actions proved her efforts futile as he lunged toward her. A scream escaped Islinda’s lips as she was pushed onto the bed, feeling the weight of Valerie’s body pressing against hers. His lips descended upon hers with a voracious hunger, stifling any attempts she made to protest. Desperate to make him stop, Islinda resorted to hitting him, but her efforts proved futile as he remained unyielding, consumed by his own desires.
