Elian's POV
*****
Fortunately, there were no sightings of the Umbra Beast till dusk.
Elian and Axel didn't leave the room while Lucian went in and out occasionally, checking in on the guards and getting updates on the situation in the palace from his father.
But Elian was restless still, even with Axel having him in his arms throughout most of their time in the room. They were currently sitting on one of the beds in the room, catching up.
"So... Your plan was to let the second explosion in that manor create an opening. Not blow me up." Elian remarked with an awkward chuckle after Axel explained what happened when he and Lucian were searching for him.
Axel chuckled as well, wrapping his arms tighter around his waist from behind and pressing a kiss on his neck. "That's right. Why would I want to blow up that pretty face of yours?"
His tone at the end was teasing, his warm breath on Elian's breath causing the latter to shudder with need.
