Yearn For Me, Violet
Nora whispered.
He still didn’t respond.
I felt something flicker in my eyes as I took in the scene, then I leaned down slightly toward Violet, my lips brushing near her ear. “Does this make you happy, princess?” I asked quietly, my voice low.
I looked at her face as she turned to me. Her eyes were sparkling, bright with a delighted, dangerous light, and the corner of her lips curled upward as she watched them all unravel. She looked like a cat that had finally caught its prey, not rushing to kill it, just watching it struggle, savoring every second, knowing there was no escape. The sight of that expression stirred something dark in my chest, I was both turned on and amused.
