SERENA

“Is this an attempt to intimidate me?”

Xadiel pulled his hand away as if contact with my skin hurt him, as if my magic… her magic repelled him. “How did you do that?”

“Wait. How did you enter my room?”

“I’m the king. And you have magic. You just zapped me.”

“If you’re going to turn from the killer king into the perv king, at least give me a towel. I know you’ve seen me naked on stage. Do you like what you see, your highness?”

Xadiel leaned against the wall of the bathroom. He looked different. He wore jeans and a black t-shirt that didn’t do much to hide his great body, quite the contrary. My treacherous body reacted to his presence. I pulled the foam over my chest.

“A towel, please.”

The tension in his shoulders told me a long story of attraction. That, combined with the hungry kiss he gave me in the dungeon and the memories I started to unlock, made me more curious about this man, about this king who wanted to kill me because I could have been the holder of strong magic.

Xadiel offered me a towel. I stood, allowing him to watch the water drip down my naked body. His fingers touched mine. There was that magic that came from deep inside me which insisted on frying him every time he tried to touch me. I could understand Alyanea’s frustration. She loved this guy and, as far as I knew, he killed her and now he wanted to kill me… her… again. Whatever. Frowning, I pulled the towel from his strong fingers. He gave me naughty smirk.

The soft towel slipped up and down my body. I took my time drying off as I stood there naked, allowing the water to run down my body.

“Gimme a hand, please.”

I used my sweetest smile on him, watching him look at me as I slowly toweled myself off. This was all part of the show. Xadiel leaned against the wall, watching me. This man, this Fae male, was not the same as the boy who ran around the castle chasing Alyanea.

“Is this another trick, Serena?” His thick voice felt like molten lava. The glint of mischief in his eyes made me want to move slower, tempt him more.

“Yeah, sure. I’m naked in the tub and you’re a badass Fae king, so yeah, sure, it’s a trick. Wanna frisk me?”

Xadiel released a deep growl that was both sexy and scary as hell. It made me curse under my breath thinking about where else this sound would be so hot.

Yes, it was a trick, but not the kind of trick he believed it to be.

Xadiel turned his molten lava eyes toward me. It made my soul tingle. Every bone in my body was jelly and eager, desiring his touch. The pain I read in his eyes almost broke me. What was it about this asshole that made me want to kill him and fuck him at the same time? Damn.

His hot, large, strong hand held mine with the most delicate pressure as I got out of the tub.
