The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Why So Nervous?

Raven raised a brow at Dominic, whose eyes shimmered with a flirtatious gleam. "Are you... trying to seduce me?"

At her question, Dominic shifted ever so slightly, letting the fabric at his waist slide down just a bit more-just enough to threaten a reveal that never came.

Every movement screamed temptation, yet the look he gave Raven carried a trace of mock reproach. "How could you call it seduction? I'm just trying to do something within my humble means for you."

A slow, unreadable smile tugged at Raven's lips as she stepped toward the bed.

Dominic watched her approach, the distance between them shrinking with each quiet step-and with it, his heart thumped faster and faster in his chest.

He was a fox demon, after all.

He knew all the tricks.

He knew how to move, how to look, how to make people want him.

But no amount of instinct could change one inconvenient truth-he was over a thousand years old and still a virgin.

If Cassian hadn't driven him up the wall today, he never would've tried something so reckless.

But now, watching Raven draw closer with that glint in her eyes, he felt his fingertips digging nervously into the blanket beneath him.

Somewhere in his chest, that ridiculous human expression came to life: his heart was pounding.

Raven stopped just three steps from the bed, gaze calm and unreadable. She had seen every twitch of his fingers, every nervous shift in his body.
