The moment Raven stepped into the shower, she placed her forehead on the wall and let out the breath she'd been holding.
She felt giddy. Horny. More excited than she'd ever been and yet absolutely terrified.
Turning the water on, she found it was still warm from Arc's shower, and so there was no cold relief from the churning emotions in her body. She raised one hand to her heart, feeling its rapidness against her ribs, before touching her own cheek...
She could still feel the kiss of Arc's hand on her face, a pulsing, heated pain that told her more than any words they'd ever shared.
Before meeting at the entrance exams, Raven had only ever seen Arc in the window of the Gale manor. She'd been a distant curiosity, a princess from afar, and one in need of rescuing...
Only...
That wasn't the real Arc.
