A Light in the Flame (Flesh and Fire, #2)

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

“Why did you visit my lake if you had this?” Nyktos was quiet for so long that I looked at him. He was still staring at the pool. “Because it was your lake.”

Nyktos jerked his hand free, and he was…he was holding a fleshy, reddish-blue lump in his palm. Dyses looked down at his chest, his mouth gaping. “You will bow before her.”

“He was testing exactly what I would allow when it comes to you.” He stood. “He failed, and others will know.”

“Their blood will match your lovely gown.” “As will yours if you keep looking at her that way,”

“I do not wish for her to be touched.” Nyktos’s voice deepened. “She is mine.”

“I’ll call you whatever you like.”
