Alpha Nocurne's Contracted Mate

Chapter 285 Live to Serve

As soon as Steve materialized in the room and locked eyes with Lexi, her l*ips curled up at the sides into a mischievous grin.

“I do believe he’s finally understood it.” Lexi snorted as she clapped Steve on the back, causing a slight cloud of dust to drift off him as whatever lay under his gown rattled slightly.

“All the time that your presence is forced upon me, it’s a wonder it hasn’t happened sooner.” Steve continued dryly as he removed Lexi’s h*and from his shoulder with a look of distaste and raised his h*ands towards the far corner of the room.
