Rye knew the exact moment his gaze slid down her face to her chest, as he leaned closer until she could feel his breath on her neck.

Hot and steamy sending shivers down her spine as she felt him lean his muscles against her bosom.

“You want me! You can deny it but I can feel it through the bond we share,”

“Klas!” Rye gasped pushing against him with her eyes closed.

Her eyes snaped open, shocked to feel him pull away something she was convinced he would never do.

“FINE!” His deep voice echoing through the desolate mansion they stood in, after he sent all the servants off.

“I’ll give you five seconds to leave Rye. After that, if you’re still here, I’ll make you regret ever pushing me away.”

“One…”

“Wha-what?”

“Two…”

Rye knew she should leave. Sleeping with Klas was something she had sworn never to do. They were just using each other. She needed his blood, and he needed her to remove the chains that bound his powers.

Yet, the pleasure that thrummed through her body when he had kissed her was unforgettable.

“Four…”

In a panic, Rye finally found the strength to move but by then it was already too late and she saw it in his eyes just as she moved to walk past him.

A cruel glint that made her wish she left when she had the chance to.

“Five…”
***************

The plan was for the both of them to work together and get what they wanted.

Him-the throne.

Her- the blue stone that would send her back to the human world.

Rye had no idea when the plan changed and less how to adjust to it.

I must kill the man I love.

But she was still some distance away from Klas when she saw him move to avoid Filly's hands with a disgusted look on his face.

"You look even uglier!" he said, abusing her to her face before turning to speak directly to Lady Farona who was still reeling from the way Klas had spoken to an apprentice of the goddess.

The fact that they were all associated with the temple gave them some sort of prestige that allowed everyone to treat them with respect, yet the man in front of her didn't.

"Excuse me lady, but I'll be taking my leave!" Klas said heading towards the door even before Farona opened her mouth to respond, disgruntled to see her walk out of the room without once glancing back at her.

Even Rye was surprised, seeing how Klas treated Lady Farona with the same exact attitude he had seen him use.
