Chapter 580 – The Lie I Sell Best
Lullaby curled up in his lap now, arms lazily wrapped around his waist, her face resting just above his pelvis like she was hugging a warm plush toy. "Mmm… best seat in the palace."
Ely reached his side and leaned down, planting a kiss just over his heart.
Lux's breath caught.
That wasn't lust.
That was… something else.
He opened his mouth to speak, but didn't. Just raised one hand, cupped the back of Ely's head, and let her stay there, listening to the heartbeat she'd chosen to trust.
"You feel different," Ely whispered. "But not dangerous."
"That's the lie I sell best," he murmured.
"You're a bad liar," she said, lifting her head to meet his eyes.
Lux exhaled. Slowly. "I know."
And then Sira leaned in again, all fire and dominance, licking a bold trail from his stomach up to his collarbone. "Enough talking," she said. "You promised a demonstration."
Lux cracked a grin. "That was dessert."
