CHAPTER 37

  Raleigh:

  My own eyes wide, I only gaped at him. "I-I don't know..." I wasn’t that strong—anyone could overpower me, but Lucien? H-How did that happen?

  Lucien's half-lidded gaze met my eyes and he smirked. "I'm not exactly complaining though." He murmured, cupping my cheek.

  I blushed. "That...I-I don't...uh..."

  I groaned and Lucien chuckled. He laid back on the bed and switched the light off as I lay against him.

  "Don't worry. It was a definite turn-on." He whispered.

  I slapped his chest playfully. "Lucien!" I scolded. "I meant that to make you feel better! Not to...turn you on!"

  Lucien laughed quietly. "Well, it most certainly did." He said. I felt his hands in my hair again, and I sighed, relaxing easily against him.

  "There's one more thing I have to tell you." I heard him say after a while. I hummed sleepily.

  "What is it?"

  "After the witch incident, my dad went really mad. Like, off his rocker to murdering people for no reason mad."
