Belle noticed the many lustful eyes that followed his movement, and she knew he did as well.

"Are you okay?" Vi asked with a raised brow, faking concern, and Belle nodded her head persistently. The vampiress' red eyes shifted to Kione. "Look who decided to show up."

Olivia got up from where she sat, eyes sparkling with pride. She threw her arms around his figure, snuggling into him in a hug. "I thought you might not show up."
