He stilled and took me in, some dark thought churning in his eyes as they dragged slowly over my bare flesh. “Eyes up here, Prince,” I snapped.
“Flirted with you?” I shouted. “Flirted with you? As I recall, Luther Corbois, it’s always been you who can’t keep your hands off me.” He opened his mouth to respond. I silenced him with a finger jabbed into his chest, heat rising to my cheeks. “I wouldn’t flirt with you if you were the last living man on this miserable fucking continent.” Sparks flew in his slate blue eyes. Liar, they seemed to say.
Was that—was he—smirking at me?
“Incredible,” I laughed breathily, unable to keep the grin off my face. “You are... extraordinary.”
“Are you any relation to Andrei Bellator?” “My father,” I confirmed. Remis turned to Alixe. “You know him?” “I know of him. I thought everyone did.”
“I can order him to let you stay up,” I offered. “If he says no, I’ll have him beheaded.” Lily giggled. “I suppose I’ll have to decline. He does love to say no, and I’m rather fond of his head.” “Lucky for me,” he said dryly.
A hot breath caressed my neck as he leaned down and whispered, “If I wanted you dead, Your Majesty, you would already be dead.”
I threw every ounce of fury I had into the two middle fingers I flung in his direction.
And I had even less trust in the flutter in my stomach at the way he gazed at me, hands flexing at his sides.
“You don’t get to use my name, remember?” I hissed. “I’m Your Majesty to you.” “Make me, Diem.”
“So many lies,” Luther tutted. “Next, you’ll try to claim you didn’t kiss me.” “I didn’t,” I snapped. “You kissed me. I was an innocent bystander.” “There was nothing innocent about that kiss. From either of us.” He wet his lips, and heat coursed through my blood. “I think I’ve still got a few traces of your bloody handprints on my skin, if you’d like me to prove it.”
“Do you?” he growled. “Or is it easier to blame your anger on me than look in the mirror and confront the truth?”
“I thought you were fearless.” Luther’s lip curled back over his teeth. “So stop being such a coward.” FIGHT. KILL. DESTROY. I snapped.
