Chapter 134: The Whole Building
The feel of Elias's mouth seemed to remain on Liora's lips long after she returned to her room.
She lay on her back in bed, one hand resting beside her, the other raised to her mouth. Her fingertips brushed lightly over the place he had touched, and a faint smile stayed at the corner of her lips, too calm to look like excitement and too steady to be dismissed as amusement.
He had toyed with her viciously in the end.
That should have made her angry. Liora had no shortage of temper, and she had never enjoyed being made into anyone's prop. Yet no anger came. None at all.
Because that had been the best reward she had ever received.
Only in that moment had she understood something she had been avoiding with a discipline that now seemed almost ridiculous. At some point, without her noticing the exact turn, her interest had not only shifted away from men. It had shifted away from women, too.
There was only one person left in her head.
Elias Kane.
