“What are you doing, husband?” Clarisse asked as calmly as she could.
Her voice didn’t crack, but her heart was actually beating a thousand times faster than it usually did. She knew Declan’s strength, and she knew it would take a lot of her powers to fight back if he ever got violent. Using her pheromones were out of the question too as her energy had been depleted when she used them on the Crown Prince.
“Clarisse,” Declan called her name as he leaned to whisper in her ear, “I can smell Luke Morgenstein all over you. Do you really think that I wouldn’t notice?”
The Alpha touched Clarisse on her shoulders, his fingertips sliding down her silky-smooth skin. Declan began to nibble her ear, and then slowly kissed her down to the side of her neck where her mark was. Clarisse had no choice but to bite her tongue in the process – she didn’t want him to think she was scared.
