Chapter 403 – Does it Scare You?
Lux ignored it, lips twitching. He pushed off the hologram, strolling closer, bare feet silent against the tiles. "Relax, Ariel. You don't have to look away. I don't bite."
Her eyes flicked to his shoulder where deep indentations looked suspiciously like bite marks. She swallowed again. "Someone else clearly did."
Lux's grin sharpened, wolfish. "Clever girl."
Ariel blinked, trying to focus on the pool instead of the man closing the distance. But her heart was hammering, her mind stuck on the horns, the wings, the tail.
She whispered, almost to herself. "You're… a demon?"
The word hung in the air like smoke.
Lux tilted his head, tail curling lazily. He didn't deny it. Didn't confirm it either. Just smirked, eyes gleaming. "Does it scare you?"
