Chapter 7

ARE YOU PLANNING TO POISON ME ? VALERIA With that pressure weighing on my shoulders and trying not to focus on the fact that he was only wearing boxers , I began testing the clothing options I had selected .

Hmm , too plain … The gray matches his eyes , but not the pants … This detail doesnt work ..

I was so absorbed in holding the garments against him , measuring and matching , that I hadnt realized I was voicing my thoughts out loud .

This one looks too short … Would this belt fit you ? I asked , suddenly raising my head and immediately realizing how close we were .

I was practically pressed against the King .

A drop of water from his damp hair fell onto my lips , and the way this Lycan was staring at me made my heart race .

uncontroHably .

Everything about this screamed danger .

What exactly am I doing ? I I apologi- Try it on me .

Lets see how it fits , he cut me off , spreading his arms wide .

The gesture was clear : Come and test it yourself .

Swallowing hard , I stepped closer , gripping the leather belt tightly as I wrapped it around his waist .

It was impossible not to brush against his bare skin .

The tip of my nose barely grazed his solid chest , from which that intoxicating wine scent radiated so strongly .

As my fingers worked to adjust the belt , I could have sworn heard a low growl rumbling above my head .

I could feel him inhaling my scent or maybe it was just my paranoia acting up .

I gulped nervously , struggling to focus on the task while he remained perfectly still , offering no assistance whatsoever .

It … It seems to fit , I murmured , my voice shaky .

You need to fasten the buckle to be sure , he challenged , his voice even lower .

Hes not even wearing pants , why am I fastening the buckle ?! But I kept my frustrations to myself and forced my trembling hands to finish the task , securing the belt around his waist .

Which was nearly impossible , considering the hard , unmistakable outline beneath his boxers was far too prominent and far too close for me to ignore .

That rich scent of wine was making me lightheaded .

Yes , this one … this one is definitely the right choice , I declared , exhaling a shaky breath of relief .

Do you like this outfit , Sir ? I stepped back immediately , retreating to safer ground .

If you like it , then its fine .

I hate those formal robes .

The more comfortable the clothes , the better , he replied , and I nodded , realizing I had chosen correctly .

He was clearly a man of action , not decoration .
