He pulled her into his embrace, his grip on her as unyielding as a vice. The last time they were on the cruise, she had ruffled his feathers, and his mood still hadn't settled.
"I got hot under the collar because of you on that deck, and I'm still mad. How do you plan to make it up to me?"
Aurelia choked on her words. "Should I return and come over after you've cooled down?"
Leopold reclined the chair and pinned her beneath him with a swift movement.
"Do you know how you should make it up to me?"
He could only amplify his presence and make him feel better by getting himself into her fiercely.
After a violent encounter, Aurelia wore out and sprawled across the seat, too spent to move.
His long fingers trailed over her smooth skin, his face wearing a look of satiation.
His unchecked release finally lifted the gloom from his heart.
No matter where her heart lay or whom it harbored, she was his and his alone.
Aurelia pulled up the blanket to cover herself and took a brief respite. Then she said softly, "Soon, Tanya and Geoffrey will get uneasy and send someone to check on you."
Leopold's lips curved into a predatory and cold smile. "How can we play the game if they don't come?"
Aurelia smirked. "I hope it's a game worth watching."
After a brief silence, Leopold took out a sample.
"This is a sample of the Grim Reaper's poison. Give it to Skyler to see if he knows what it's made of and if he can figure out an antidote."
"Alright." Aurelia stashed the sample in her bag.
Sky-Will's lab was well-equipped.
Skyler could conduct his research directly there.
