Her heartbeat wasn't just fast now.
It was violent.
A trembling, crashing rhythm inside her ribs that didn't care for dignity or restraint.
Rava was drowning in sensation.
Lux hadn't moved like a predator—no. That would've implied hunger without control.
But the way he touched her now?
The way he stepped forward with that storm-in-a-smirk expression?
It was worship laced in possession.
Reverence braided with ruin.
Her tentacles, all of them, were flushed with heat. Sensitive. Overstimulated. They curled around his waist, his arms, his throat, trying to map him with instinct and need and… reverence. She hadn't realized how much want lived inside her until now. Until this.
Until him.
Lux grinned when her tentacles brushed over his bare chest again, and this time—he didn't wait.
Didn't let her hold all the power.
He reached down and caught one.
Firm.
Intentional.
And brought it slowly to his mouth.
Rava froze.
His eyes never left hers.
