Chapter 758 – You Think too Small of Yourself
His gaze held hers.
Steady. Unapologetic.
"You think too small of yourself."
She blinked quickly.
"You think too small of me."
The honesty in that stung.
But it also felt warm.
Dangerously warm.
The dance slowed. Their steps shortened. They were closer now than before. Her breath brushed his jaw.
For a second, everything else dissolved.
The music. The crowd. The speculation.
Just his hand at her waist.
His eyes on her mouth.
Her heart racing loud enough she was sure he could hear it.
She wanted to kiss him.
She wanted to see if that possessive edge would melt or sharpen.
She wanted to know what it meant to belong to someone like him.
And if she could survive it.
Her fingers curled slightly into his shoulder.
His head tilted just a fraction.
The distance between them shrank.
And then…
"Ariel."
Lux did not sigh.
But internally? Yes. He absolutely did.
