Chapter 176 – You're Clingy
The room was warm now—too warm, really. All the heat from earlier had soaked into the sheets, the air, her skin. Naomi's body still hummed with that post-chaos buzz, her limbs too lazy to move, her mouth too soft to form anything meaningful. But her brain was trying to catch up. And so was her heart.
Lux lay behind her, arm draped around her waist, breath slow and steady against the back of her neck.
It should've been enough.

Subtle at first. Barely noticeable.
Then… tighter.
His arm pulled her closer. Not possessive. Not teasing. Just… clinging.
It was odd. He wasn't usually like this after sex. Sure, he was smug, sometimes affectionate, always inappropriate—but this? This was quiet. Almost… sad?
She blinked, then tilted her head back just slightly.
"You're being weird," she murmured, voice rough from earlier.
"Hm?"
"You're clingy."
Lux didn't answer.
She nudged him with her hips. "That's new."
