[PREVIOUSLY TITLED CHASING BACK ALLEYS] ❝Once a King, always a King.❞

The Underlord pushes Ava against the wall. She stares up at him with wide eyes, suddenly trapped between the hard wall and him. He is a foot taller to her, if not more. Chevalier exhales roughly, searching her eyes. Suddenly heavy with all of his attention, a tremble forms in her knees. This is so wrong. She should pull away. "Stop me." Chevalier's voice comes out steady and hard. Ava stays quiet. Consent. Chevalier lowers his mouth until his hot breath caresses the tender flesh of her neck. Ava's eyes fall shut. His hand comes up to stroke the channels of her throat, his thumb on one side and the four fingers on the other. Finally, his soft lips come down on her skin. Ava drags a jagged breath into her lungs. His hand holds her in place from one side of her neck while his mouth assaults the other. He begins with kisses, then his teeth graze her before he bites down a little. She has to think her way out of this. But how? Her body has betrayed her already.
