A trace of fear appeared in Aveline's eyes, completely unprepared for how far Lucas would go in his madness.

Lucas noticed the shift in her emotions, and a fleeting complexity crossed his deep gaze. He leaned in closer, kissing her lips with a tender intimacy, as if they were lovers lost in the moment.

Lucas didn't get angry; instead, he stared at her lips, as if still savoring the moment.
