Lyla

My heart thudded painfully in my chest as I tried to keep my eyes on him in the dark room.

He sauntered to me and flicked his finger causing light to sprout from the tips, illuminating his face and the room to a little extent.

He looked different much more mature than four years ago. The boyish features that gave him the vibe of a high school kid that I remembered, were all gone and were now replaced by sharp, chiselled edges that spoke of a man who had embraced his power.

His body had changed too. He stood before me, bulkier and muscular, he seemed even taller now, towering above me, almost taller than Ramsey by several inches but that wasn’t the

problem… he was naked.

Not bare skin kind of naked but he had on a pair of jeans that moulded into his skin, accentuating his long, curved legs and his smooth, firm torso and a singlet that clung to his arbs. My eyes travelled the length of his body, appreciating his manliness when they met with his eyes, there was a cocky grin on his face.

“Lyla… my honeybee… we meet again. Sorry, for the rude welcome. You were so flustered that I had to put you to sleep immediately but I hope you don’t mind?”

Are you compensating for something? You’re the Dark One…you should be clad in some traditional, animal skin or something not dressed like a human version of seduction?”

“Are you implying that you find me seductive?” he arched a brow at me, his eyes twinkling with

amusement.

“If I find all of this…” I swept my hand over his form “Seductive, then I’ll be spending every with every single human male that has hit on me.”

He laughed producing a sound that was both charming and unsettling. “Ah, Lyla… always so quick with the comebacks. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I missed having you around. He spread his arms, doing a little spin to showcase himself. “Do you like what you see, please tell me?”

I rolled my eyes. “I’ve seen better and stop talking like that… you sound human. When did you. stop using honorifics and sounding ancient? It fits you better.
