“That Black Mamba has a yellow jacket. It belongs to you, right?” Jaws brought this up out of nowhere.

Nyx blinked in confusion. “What about it?”

“I want one too,” Jaws shamelessly declared. “Something you’ve worn up close.”

Before he could finish, Nyx clamped a hand over his mouth. She had never seen such a brazen male before.

Her face burned. “Keep dreaming.”

Jaws hadn’t actually expected much. He just wanted to tease her a little.

He pressed a light kiss into her palm while she was covering his mouth, startling her into snatching her soft little hand away.

“A jacket is fine too, as long as it’s something you’ve worn. If you don’t give me one, I might just steal one myself–and I’ll make sure to take my favorite,” Jaws said shamelessly. “Give me something to hold onto, and maybe I’ll bother you a little

less.”

With his mix of threats and coaxing, Nyx gave in. She shrugged off her button–up shirt, balled it up, and threw it at Jaws.

He caught it neatly, folded it carefully, and kept it for himself, completely satisfied.

“Do you want to go back to the Empire?” he suddenly asked.

Nyx narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously. She wanted to go back. But not knowing what kind of trick Jaws was up to, she stayed silent.

“How was your life in the Empire?” Jaws pressed on. “Did you choose to be with that royal tiger willingly? And was using Mental Soothing on all those strange males really something you wanted?”

As he questioned her, he knelt down, tilting his head to study Nyx’s expression carefully, trying to see the truth.

“I lived well in the Empire. I was with Aurelius because I liked him,” Nyx said coldly. “No one forced me to do Mental Soothing–except you.”

Jaws choked. “I didn’t force you either.”

Nyx didn’t look amused. She thought, ‘True, he hasn’t forced me, but didn’t he capture me to get me to do Mental Soothing?”

After a long silence, Jaws let out a chuckle, shook his head, and left the room.

Nyx flopped onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. Jaws‘ weird, out–of–nowhere questions echoed in her head. She had no idea what he was thinking.
