The Love From Vengeance

167 NIRVANA

ARIEL’S POV

I snuggled closer to Luke, my head resting on his chest. The rhythmic sound of his heartbeat lulled me into a state of tranquility. I traced circles on his bare chest with my fingers, feeling the warmth of his skin under my touch. The lovely and exhausting moment was still in my head, and indeed, it was times like these that made all the chaos and stress of life disappear.

Luke chuckled. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

“To the kitchen? Why exactly?” Luke raised an eyebrow.

“That’s a dumb question, you know.”

“No, it’s not.”

“Yes, it is!” I blurted. “I mean, what do people do in the kitchen?”

“They have sex,” Luke replied with a grin.

“Oh my goodness,” I said inaudibly, hitting my face softly.

“What?”
