Chapter 889 – The Little Mermaid's Seduction [Part 1]
Lux laughed softly.
And Ariel felt warmth bloom through her chest immediately.
Because every time he laughed around her, it never sounded mocking.
Just fond.
Like her nervousness wasn't annoying.
Like it was cute.
That made everything worse.
Lux handed her a wineglass after pouring carefully.
Their fingers brushed briefly.
Ariel almost dropped the glass.
Calm down.
Please calm down.
You are an adult woman.
A very flustered adult woman.
But still.
She took a tiny sip of wine mostly to occupy her mouth before embarrassing herself further.
Then she glanced at him again.
And regretted it immediately.
Because wow.
He really looked good.
Not polished-good like usual.
Not terrifying infernal prince-good.
This was different.
Relaxed.
Loose hair.
Bare chest.
Comfortable posture.
Like she was seeing a version of Lux normal people never got access to.
And suddenly that felt…
Intimate.
