Knox's expression changed subtly, his eyes narrowing.
Lilith caught the change immediately. She rested her chin on her hand, observing him carefully.
"Did you feel someone watching us too?" Knox asked, his voice low but calm.
Lilith's lips curved faintly. So, he felt it as well.
He's not just some random actor, she thought, tapping her fingers lightly against the table.
Sebastian's grip on his cup tightened until his knuckles turned white. From where he sat, he had a perfect view of Lilith, resting her chin on her hand, gazing at Knox with what looked like affection.
His heart slammed painfully in his chest.
She's mine.
Mine.
Only mine.
The words echoed through his mind, louder and louder until the fire burning inside him became unbearable. His jaw clenched so tightly it ached.
