Guilt And Trust

"I apologize that he had hurt you," Drayce said.

"He didn't hurt me…Umm…" She licked the hurt part of her lip. "It's fine."

Drayce caressed her cheeks gently and fixed her hair. "I will try to keep him in check next time and won't allow him to hurt you again."

Seren felt even more guilty about the kiss. How was she going to explain to her husband that she enjoyed the kiss,  that she liked the rough and wild passion that Erebus embodied? Though Drayce was pretending to be calm, she had known him enough at this point to understand that he was unhappy about the situation and decided to talk about it later. If she sided with Erebus now, saying she wanted it as well, it might cause him to become upset.

'We can talk about it when the time is right.'
