Chapter One Hundred and ElevenAriaThe room was spinning, but if there was anything that stood out to me, it was the fact that the only scent that filled my lungs tasted of salt, lilies, and the terrifying scent of Zane’s arousal.I was still vibrating from the force of my release, my inner muscles twitching around the ghost of his fingers, but Zane was already moving.He rose above me, a dark silhouette against the flickering candlelight, and for the first time, the meticulous King was gone. In his place was someone feral enough to take me to the moon and back.His clothes from earlier was a mess, his tie gone, the waistcoat hanging open, but it wasn’t enough.

His movements were filled with a tenderness that made my throat tight, a stark contrast to the feral violence of minutes before.He reached out, his thumb catching the bead of blood on my bottom lip where I’d bitten down. He didn't apologize,he just leaned in and kissed the wound away, his lips soft and lingering."No more contracts, Aria," he murmured against my skin, his voice a gravelly vow.
