The Lycan King and His Dark Temptation by Luna Nova

Chapter 29

A DANGEROUS AGREEMENT VALERIA My brain finally connected with reality , and it told me I was lying on my side on a bed .

Not chained .

Not imprisoned .

Not bound .

And definitely very much alive .

I felt an incredible vitality surging inside me , healing , repairing my wounds .

Confused , I opened my eyes halfway , staring at an old wooden wall I know this wallpaper its from the inn where we were staying , in that … pack where I was kidnapped and taken to those vampires who sold me as a slave , and then … then the Lycan King rescued me ! Up to that point , everything had been terrifying , but manageable .

However , the memories of all the sexual things I did with King Aldric afterward … were impossible to bear ! Phrases like … I need you to touch me more , Aldric … and … I want to taste you like you did with mine … short- circuited my mind .

Uuuuhhhh ! I grabbed the pillow and screamed into it , burying my face full of shame .

Did the King leave me here at the inn ? Most likely .

And honestly , for the best because I dont think I could ever face him again after what I did .

Are you done suffocating yourself with the pillow ? His deep voice echoed behind me , and I froze .

This mans habit of silently lurking is going to give me a heart attack one day .

Valeria , turn around and face me , he ordered .

I considered playing dead .

Dead from being a shameless slut .

What a fitting end for my disaster of a life .

In the end , I had to turn slowly , keeping my gaze down , cheeks burning there was no way to pretend I didnt .

Especially when my eyes landed directly on his crotch .

He was sitting in a chair beside the bed , legs spread , wearing dark trousers .

By the Goddess , I clearly remembered how that monstrous thing pulsed in my mouth , how hot and delicious it was Dont do that , Valeria .

Your scent is too tempting … He leaned forward , and I lifted my eyes only to find his narrowed gray ones just inches from my face .

That masculine , sexy face so perfect had been buried between my legs , giving me pleasure Id only dreamed of in the past Dorian had never loved me that passionately .
