Chapter 821

Lysander’s hand tightened around her, pulling her into his chest. His voice was a deep, rasping murmur, “Stay still. If it goes off, it’s on you.”

Thalassa froze, afraid to move.

Lysander held her, doing nothing more than holding her a bit too tightly, so tightly that Thalassa was having trouble catching her breath. His chin rested on top of her head, his breath strong and hot, brushing past her scalp.

She didn’t want to be tense, but given her situation and his intimidating presence, it was hard not to be.

Lysander’s arms around her faltered slightly; he loosened his grip on her a bit, lowered his head to graze his pointy nose against her soft cheek, “Think of this place as your home, then you won’t be so nervous.”
