134 It’s either me or Ramsey…

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.

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.
