"..." Nathaniel couldn't believe his own eyes.
Shina was sprawled on her bed, her usual spot, looking completely defenseless, while Victor sat on the floor beside her with his eyes closed. Even in moments of rest, his imposing figure maintained a sense dominance. Despite the physical distance between them, they looked close and intimate.
Victor didn't know about the spell where Shina would attack any man that got close. He had a habit of staying a certain distance from Shina, and only got near when she took the initiative. The last time he went beyond touching her hand once, she completely flipped.
Liam gave Victor that tip, and Victor didn't want to believe it at first, but it really worked. In case he wanted a light pet on the head for example, just stay by her side like a dog, give her an expectant puppy look, and the pat would eventually come. (If you allow her to touch you once, you'll get to touch her in the same place in exchange once too).
