Chapter 105: The Healing Touch and a Wolf's Return
"Relax, Aria. I'm going to heal you."
Lucian's words were warm against my ear, making my body shiver in response. I stood frozen, my back still exposed to him, my dress halfway down my shoulders.
"H-How?" I managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
Instead of answering, Lucian leaned down and pressed his lips against my earlobe. The sensation sent a jolt through my entire body. Before I could process what was happening, his mouth moved to my neck, kissing the sensitive skin there.
A moan escaped my lips before I could stop it.
"Lucian, what are you—"
"Shhh," he hushed, his voice deep and husky. "Trust me."
His hands gently pulled my dress further down my shoulders, exposing more of my upper back. I felt vulnerable, yet something in his touch made me stay still.
Without warning, I felt something warm and wet against one of the raw wounds on my back. His tongue. Lucian was licking my wounds.
