I shut my bedroom door and leaned against it, letting out a long, satisfied sigh. The scent of Natalia—her expensive shampoo, that vanilla lotion she pretends not to spend a fortune on, and something else uniquely her—still clung to my skin. My muscles ached in the best possible way.
"Well, well, well," I murmured to the empty room.
I collapsed onto my bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind replaying highlights from the past two days. Natalia bent over the kitchen counter. Natalia moaning against my neck in the shower. Natalia's eyes, wide and vulnerable, as I spun my ridiculous "Sovereign's Covenant" bullshit.
And she'd swallowed it whole.
"System," I said aloud. "Let's see the damage."
Blue light flooded my vision as the familiar interface materialized. My status screen hovered in the air before me:
