Chapter 35: Revelations Part 2

“And how do you intend to use it?” Parker asked, biting her bottom lip. Lucien grinned at her.

“You’re too adorable for your own good,” he told her. Parker sighed, looking away from Lucien.

“That’s me,” she muttered. “The adorably naïve human.”

“I never said ‘naïve,’” Lucien said, arching an eyebrow at Parker.

His hands still around her head, he turned her face so she was looking in his eyes again.

“Should I have said something other and ‘adorable?’” he asked. Parker shrugged.

Lucien stuck his tongue out between his teeth playfully, his eyes brightening. Parker giggled when Lucien grabbed her waist and shifted so she was lying on her back on the bed. Lucien hovered over her, running one hand up her side while he propped himself up on an elbow.

He brought his hand up her side, over her breast, and to her neck. Lucien pressed his thumb to her bottom lip.

“Should I have said beautiful, seductive, or sexy instead?” he asked.
