章節 14: Decision, not a discussion...

Damian's lips lingered on Eve's for just a moment longer than either of them anticipated. Sparks from the mate bond surged, leaving her breathless and him momentarily stunned. 

Eve felt her mind racing in disbelief, anger and a strange warmth filling her chest.

"Your Highness!" Jasper's squeal broke through the haze, his voice dripping with poorly concealed delight. "Oh, I knew there was tension there, but this is even better than I imagined!"

Damian pulled away abruptly, his silver eyes narrowing at Jasper, but not before letting out a deep sigh. "What is it with you and bad timing, Jasper?" he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck as if the door smack still lingered.

Eve, on the other hand, couldn't quite mask the breathlessness that left her lips slightly parted. 

'That was good timing,' she thought but Relia's voice in her head instantly countered.

"Nope. Definitely bad timing."
