Chapter 55

• Lucas’ POV
• The soft hum of the engine was a steady presence as I drove, the winding road home stretching before me. Beside me, Elara was affectionate, her kisses light and playful, her body pressing against mine with a kind of desperation. Her lips trailed over my neck, her fingers running along the length of my arm and across my chest as if she couldn’t get close enough.
• “Lucas,” she whispered, a teasing lilt in her voice as she nipped at my earlobe.
