Chapter 93

Katy POV

Ace had hinted that he was going to come to meet me in the night and I was craving for his touch after an exhausting evening. I wore a pink lacy lingerie with nothing beneath it. My shorts were too short and revealed a lot of skin on my legs.

However, when I opened the door, I was taken aback to see Beau Jordan standing there. Immediately, my hands shot to my chest.

“Hi!” he said, his l*ps quirking up.

“Hi!” I replied, my gaze darting behind him, wondering if Luce was with him.

“How are you?” he asked, his eyes locked with mine.

We are staying in the main castle with Luce’s parents and have vacated this residence temporarily for this event.”

“Oh, okay,” I said and bit my lip. I scratched my eyebrow. “It’s okay. I can handle Luce.”

His brows pinched momentarily, but he groomed his expression instantly. “She’s sweet and very protective of her family. So please don’t mind when she’s acerbic.”

Really? I stared at him, narrowing my eyes. “Are you her mate?” the question came out of my m*uth before I could stop myself.
