But also tiny.
I huff out a breath.

“Yes?”
“All of them. I don’t know what you’re going to eat.” I’m by her side in a single beat, causing her to release the cakes, whichI catch easily “I know what I want to eat,” I rasp. “And it’ll be sweeter than anything here.”
Grace’s beautiful eyes widen, her pupils contracting. It’s as if she finally understands what this is between us and how it transcends both our pasts.
How it is now, and for the future. How she belongs to me, and I will have her, no matter what the cost.
“Here we are,” Katya trills, trooping into the salon with arms filled with clothes and a young human female pushing a rail full to the brim.

Ferenc backs off once the assistant, Katya, comes back in. The atmosphere, which seemingly had all the oxygen sucked out of it, returns to something approximating normal.
However, I feel like I’ve done a round in a boxing ring. My chest is tight and my head somehow bruised and filled with a fog.
Ferenc retreats back to his couch, where he lounges back, legs wide apart, in the very definition of powerful masculine and, well, wolf. His eyes follow my every move as Katya takes me through the outfits she’s picked out.
Once I’ve selected those I like, she puts them in the changing area, which is nearly the same size as the salon itself, and pulls the curtain closed.
I stare at the clothing. Most of it has price tags which would make anyone’s eyes water, regardless if they’re in Forint or not.

Why not, just because you’re not getting any
Lucy
