The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation novel Chapter 223

 223.

DEADLY DINNER SIGRID lifted my eyes to the reflection and caught him staring at my neck, only for him to completely pretend he wasnt! Bad slave, I could punish you for that! Instead of fingering my pussy, you shouldve applied the balm here! My lady, I can brush your hair, he said, leaning in and picking up the brush, playing dumb.

No one said anything.

I pulled the fallen sleeve of the nightgown back into place and nodded.

My eyes drifted to the side of his neck, where the deep bite I left glared back at me, red and fierce.

The truth was, he hadn't sunk his teeth into me the way I had into him.

Well, whateverwe're a pair of lunatics, no point denying it.

The soft brushing felt amazing.

He patiently ran the brush through every strand, caressing my hair with his hands, my scalp, the nape of my neck, my forehead.

Who taught him to do this so well? For a second, I imagined him doing this with Lucrecia, and my blood boiled in my veins.

---- Ineeded to think of something else, but remembering Lucrecia also gave me the push to interrogate him a little.

Now that he wasn't like before, like a skittish animalwe'd done alot of things, and I didn't want to dig into his miseries, but there were so many things about Silas that unsettled me.

Silas, I wanted to ask you some questions.

I hope you don't feel uncomfortable, I began.

But immediately, his fingers stiffened, his posture tensedthough it only lasted a few seconds before he disguised it better.

Tell me, my lady, he said, staring at my hair and continuing to brush.

L've noticed that power inside you.

Its aggressive magic, concentrated in your eye.

At first, I thought it was a burn, but now I realize its a curse.

Silas, how did you get that? Thoped hed be honest with me.

Such destructive and mind-blowing magicwhat was it doing inside an elemental, and how could they even coexist symbiotically? I don't remember, my lady.

I...

don't remember much.

I think, before you went into that tree, Lucrecia erased many memories from my mind, he said, bringing his hand to his forehead.

His eye darted erratically, his expression began to shiftit looked like trying to remember hurt him.

Wait, wait, Silas, don't force yourself, dont! I stood up and held ---- his cheeks, making him look at me.

We'll figure it out, we'll figure it all out.

I just want you to know one thing, SilasI..

I swallowed, wondering if I was doing the right thing by saying this.

It was getting harder to fake anything in front of him.

Tm not going to hurt you.

Im not her.

I mean, Im not Lucrecia.

I don't I know, he interrupted, I know you're not her.

He said it with such conviction, so sure, staring straight at me like he was piercing my soulmine, Sigridseven though he was talking about Lucrecia, not Electra.

Good.

I know remembering is painful, but its strange.

I sense Lucrecia is experimenting with very macabre things with the elementals, and I think thats going to be dangerous for everyone.
