Chapter 17: The Goodnight Tea
Annalise stared at the ceiling of her room as she couldn’t fall asleep even after trying for the past half an hour. The very moment she closed her eyes, Damien’s image appeared in front of her, taking over her senses.
And if the Second Dark Lord was alone not enough to haunt her thoughts, she also kept thinking about her interactions with the other two lords.
On the other hand, the incident in the pool room was haunting her non-stop and that too in the most indecent way possible. Every time she recalled those kisses and touches, she felt her entire body burning with energy and warmth that surrounded her like a cocoon.
She was almost horrified at the direction of her thoughts as she kept recalling that one particular moment, as well as the reaction of her body towards those indecent thoughts. But that wasn’t enough to stop her brain and body from reminiscing those moments.
She had finally met with all three of her husbands and each encounter had been imprinted on her mind. She couldn’t help but think about them as she was now left alone with her thoughts.
A soft sigh left her lips as she turned to face the open window. A few minutes ago, she remembered noticing dark clouds emerging in the sky, but now, it looked normal as those clouds had disappeared at some point and the sky was now filled with millions of stars even though there was no moon visible at the moment.
She heard a knock on the door and it made her hurriedly jump out of the bed. She headed towards the door and opened it only to find Lord Kenric waiting outside with a cup of freshly brewed herbal tea in his hands.
"My Lord." Annalise greeted with a little bow and was immediately awarded with a frustrated sigh from him which made her look up at him in confusion. "Is everything alright, My Lord?" She asked when she noticed the frown on his handsome face.
"Didn’t I tell you to call me just Kenric and drop all these formalities?" Lord Kenric questioned as he looked at her while arching his eyebrows in question. He didn’t seem angry but the look on his face made him appear serious.
