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.

"Reds are not monogamous, especially the royal family," Holi whispered back as they watched the dancer bow slightly to the queen before she continued to approach the king who looked even more excited than before.

Finally, she reached where King Rezar sat on the throne and Rye was watching intently to see what she would do next.

The last thing she expected to see was for the woman to pull a knife out of her dress and dash forward with a murderous aura around her.

'Is this part of the dance?' Unable to comprehend how someone could be dumb enough to throw their life away in such a way.

But Rye didn't have to watch for long to see the dancer stab the knife forward, surprised that she managed to get to the king without anyone trying to stop her.

Regardless, the knife was still in her hands when she suddenly froze, unable to move a muscle even as the noise in the hall completely died down.
