Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 45

The moment it was touched, she felt as if electricity coursed through her, causing an uncontrollable shiver.

Rupert noticed her reaction, his gaze darkening as he leaned in closer, a droplet of coffee from his collar falling onto her stomach.

His low chuckle was laced with mischief. His thumb, adorned with the ruby ring, traced the droplet on Sylvia's belly, the warm jade strangely comforting yet bizarre. Sylvia's stomach contracted, and she let out a soft gasp, which Rupert promptly silenced.

"Mmm..."

Rupert was playing with fire!
