Kapitel 249: The lioness and the rabbit

Ravina's face flushed as her bravery faded and she realized what she had done. Locking eyes with Malachi after that was difficult, and her eyes darted. 

"Uh..." she stood up, almost turning around before she spoke. 

Malachi grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Where are you going?" 

"I need a moment," she said, wanting to escape. 

Hesitantly, he let her go and she hurried into the private room. Her face was on fire but so was her body. What spirit possessed her? She had always been a bit daring, but this… She was surprised at herself. 

Malachi waited for Ravina, but she remained gone. He hadn't wanted to let her go but he didn't want to overwhelm her either. She looked like she truly needed a moment. 

He smiled with a shake of his head. So daring yet running away. While waiting, he changed into a new garment, still feeling dazed by the pleasure he had received.
