Unlike the others, Aria wasn't someone who enjoyed showing affection or doing anything naughty in front of others.
That just wasn't who she was.
She cherished intimacy—private, soft, personal.
The idea of doing something like that in front of everyone?
Absolutely mortifying!
She'd rather do anything her darling asked of her behind closed doors, alone with him… not with all their future "sisters" watching... excluding her mother of course!
And after seeing Liora's completely satisfied face—her cheeks flushed, her lips curled into a smug smile as she rubbed her belly like she'd just finished a grand feast—Aria grew even more nervous.
Would she be expected to do that too?
Not that she minded doing such things for Aether... of course not.
But doing it in front of others?
Even if these women were going to be her companions—her future sisters in this strange shared love... it was just too much for her right now.
