The Sea Experience

"When you found out that Violet was your mate, what did you feel? I was curious because I recently read a book about mate bonding."

Maximillian lied. He had never read a book about it and even avoided it. He didn't want to feel sorry for himself because he hadn't met his mate yet. He was only curious because … the image of Edna squirming beneath him, with a flushed face and sweat flashed through his mind.

The man shook his head quickly.

"I'm just curious," he muttered to convince himself that he was just curious.

"Ah, if you are curious, I will explain it. When I was going through puberty, at night, I dreamed about… sorry, about Violet." Luca always felt bad every time he said his mate's name because Violet was Maximillian's partner before it was known that she was Luca's mate.
