Chapter 56 – I Don’t Offer Love
Rava sat there, blinking once, her throat dry and her palms hotter than they should be. What the hell just happened? One second she was teasing him, the next she was almost kissing a guy who literally admitted to being a living aphrodisiac. And not in the "he’s hot" way. In the actual, technical, supernatural way.
She hated how it worked.
"So," she said, clearing her throat, voice too casual to be casual. "You want to sleep around now?"
Lux turned his head toward her, calm and amused. "If I say yes," he said slowly, "are you going to be disappointed?"
Her jaw tensed. That was not the kind of question you asked a woman while trapped in a plush luxury vehicle with tinted windows and leather seats soft enough to justify moral crimes.
He added, voice silkier now, "But if I do... I’ll do it with consent. I’m a fair person."
Of course he said it like that. Smooth, controlled, like flirting was breathing. Like seduction was just business negotiation with better lighting.
Rava tilted her head, studying him. "Naomi won’t get mad about this?"
Lux didn’t flinch. "Naomi’s the one who gave me the idea."
The car could’ve swerved and hit a lamppost and she still wouldn’t have blinked faster than she did just then.
