Chapitre 247: We won't be coming tonight...

Lucius POV

"We did it," Emilia said softly "We rescued Luna Selene,".

I nodded, allowing myself a small smile. "We did and you are the perfect person I should always fight with. We were in so much synchronization that I shouldn't have wasted my time talking,".

The sun dipped low, casing a warm glow through the windows in the abandoned warehouse. I broke the kiss and stood close, my fingers lightly grazing Emilia's cheeks.

"You don't know how much I've wanted to do that," it was meant to be a thought but it came out before I could stop it.

"And me too," Emilia giggled "I lie awake every night craving your touch, Lucius. Why didn't you ever reach out? You know we had so much fun back and now…" she sighed.

"I'm sorry," I whispered as I slowly lifted a hand to brush a stray lock of hair from her face, our eyes met and held. "I didn't want to make things complicated and then I had a job to do. Being a Beta is very demanding,".
