Bab 222: Risa's confession

The party atmosphere still enveloped the entire property while Nikolai gazed at Risa, enchanted by the beauty in the dark Kimino and the faint blush from the alcohol on her cheeks. 

Her eyes peered at him from below. A soft flicker of her lashes. Then she reached out and touched his cheek with her right hand. "I thought you might be with them all knight."

Nikolai's eyes narrowed.

A pleasant sensation spread from the touch of Risa's smooth fingertips brushing along his skin. 

"Do you mean Selene and Nikita?" A soft voice, yet Nikolai put power into his throat, wanting to ensure that his words were clear.

"Yes," she replied in a low whisper as she moved closer.

"Hey... don't try and be so subtle," Nikolai whispered, almost mouthing it before he started leaning towards her.

She seemed uncertain.
