Author's note: This is from Seraphina's point of view

When I inched away, Duke's eyes were full of endless emotions and there was quite a bit of lust in there also.

I knew that the man in front of me was Duke.

"Are we alone now?", I asked.

Duke wrapped me into his embrace and the deep kiss which stole my breath away was definitely a, yes.

I could feel his desire for me as the kiss turned hungry, and I wanted him as well, but we needed to talk and I had a feeling that if we give in to our need to copulate, we will go at it until we both collapse.

There was nothing wrong with that, but business first.

"Duke…", I called between kisses, and he groaned in protest, but he still stopped his advances.

"Did you hear what I promised to Nox?"

Duke nodded. "Good that you got him to step back. I knew you can do it, love."
