~Evric's POV~
I didn't let him finish. I nodded toward his hand. "Baby… check your finger."
Zayn followed my instructions, checking his finger. The moment he saw his ring, a slow, beautiful realization spread across his face. "Oh, it looks like someone is taken."
I leaned closer, my voice a husky whisper right by his ear. "Who is that 'someone'?"
He just smiled, that wide, irresistible smile that makes my chest ache with love. "I don't know."
That did it. I couldn't resist. I moved fast, tickling his side, hitting his sweet spot. "Who is that someone?" I pressed again, my voice catching with a laugh.
Zayn giggled, a bright, pure sound, and fell back onto the bed, still smiling. But I wasn't done. I kept tickling him, determined to hear him admit it. He twisted and squirmed, his laughter filling the room, until finally, on a gasped breath, he gave in.
"Fine! Fine, it's me! I'm the one who's taken!"
