"This isn't up for discussion, my dear Evienne. I want everyone to know that you belong to me. It will keep you safe" Lucius softly caressed the girl's cheek, all too aware of his desire to kiss her.
He wanted very much to taste her mouth, to kiss her like no one else had ever done before - rough, passionate and possessive. That dark desire was clear in his eyes although he did not act on it yet. He would be putting her through scarification after all, that was enough for one day unless she confessed that she wanted his kiss.
"Now are you going to go bathe yourself or do I have to do it for you?" he asked.
