Chapter 208 Married

• Varek
• Throughout the day, I couldn’t shake the memory of Nyxara’s bold move that morning. It had been the early hours, barely a sliver of light piercing through the heavy curtains of her chambers, and yet she’d been awake—more than awake, alert and mischievous. Her presence had always lingered like a shadow in my mind, but today… Today, it was all I could think about.
• I didn’t expect her to be so daring. She’d slipped into my heart with all the confidence of a woman who already knew the hold she had on me. And my goddess, did she. When her fingers brushed my skin, a spark ignited, and before I knew it, I was moaning her name like a prayer. “Nyxara…” The sound of it had echoed in my ears, even hours later.
