Chapter 93

For the first time, Lucianne didn’t dash back to the hotel when dawn broke. She sat in her mate’s arms and his paws gently stroked her back as he held her close to his chest. After a long moment of quietly enjoying each other’s company, Lucianne linked, ‘Xandar, can you tell me more about your family? Who you’re close to, who you love, that kind of thing? I mean, I already know about Christian and Annie but I’d like to know more.’

Xandar chuckled, ‘I’m close to you. And I love you.’

Lucianne argued in an irritated tone, ‘Xandar, I’m serious.’

He responded firmly, ‘So am I, Lucy.’ Lucianne groaned, and was about to leave his arms before he strengthened his grip around her body, ‘Aw, sweetheart, don’t get mad. It’s not like I wasn’t going to tell you. But since we don’t have any training today, how about I tell you over breakfast at a nice café?’

Lucianne looked into his lilac eyes gleaming with anticipation. She smirked, ‘Well played, my king. Well-played.’
