Korah was dead.

NALEDI’S POV

“Attai,” Draken breathed as soon as his eyes fell upon me. “You are dressed.” He said in an accusing tone.

“It’s late.” I replied, leaving the shelf and walking closer to him. “If you hadn’t locked this door, I probably would be passed out on my bed right now.”

“I have a big bed, Attai.” He stepped closer to me, “You could be laying in my bed right now, except you wouldn’t be passed out, we’d be doing other things.” His eyes glistened with mischief.

“Maybe it’s a good thing I locked the door.” His nose lingered on the skin of my neck. “I want you.” His hands tightened around me possessively. “I want to possess you. Mark you as mine.”

His lips peppered kisses on the skin of my neck, then I felt his fangs nip on my skin. I stepped out of his hold, refusing to let him do anything stupid. Draken didn’t like the space between us, his face turned dark and when he made to speak, I placed a finger on his lips.
