Zoya huffed. “Don’t tell me you don’t have any old lovers.” Nikolai’s jaw hardened at the word lovers, much like she had hoped. It was so easy to get him riled up. “Mine are not here in the palace,” he muttered. His hands moved along her waist, down her back, pulling her body closer against his own. Zoya obliged, resting her hands on Nikolai’s chest. “So what, you’re going to challenge him to a duel now?” Nikolai shot her a dark look in response, obviously not very amused. Instead, he returned his attention to her neck, kissing down the skin. “I know something much better,” he breathed, and Zoya instantly knew what he was thinking of.
