Chapter 917 – Love or Attraction
Somehow, Fiera felt more seen than she had in years.
The suite had become quiet.
Not silent.
Just... peaceful.
The kind of quiet that came after walls fell.
Lux stood in front of her, one hand still resting against the wall beside her.
For a man who could stare down infernal kings, hostile investors, and assassination attempts without blinking, he suddenly looked strangely uncertain.
That realization made her smile.
"You are rough..."
The words slipped out before she could stop them.
Lux winced.
Actually winced.
"I'm aware."
The immediate response made her laugh.
A real laugh.
The kind she rarely showed in public.
"Oh, you know?"
"I had several clues."
His deadpan delivery only made her laugh harder.
She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him.
For a second he seemed surprised.
Then his arms settled around her automatically.
Comfortably.
Like they belonged there.
The realization sent warmth through her chest.
