Chapter 14

• Cesmae's POV
• The shock of Kylian’s request hits me like a cold wave crashing over my senses. My heart skips a beat, and my breath hitches in my throat. “W–Wait, what?” My voice comes out as a strangled whisper, betraying the panic that’s gripping me.
• Kylian’s grin widens, a mischievous glint dancing in his gray eyes. “Oh, don’t look so horrified, Cesmae. I was just teasing you. I know you’re not ready for something like that, and honestly, handling me is not a small feat.”
