~LENORA'S POV
Lucian didn't put me down the moment we stepped into the bathing chamber.
The warmth hit first, wrapping around my skin in a way that made me relax without even trying, the soft steam rising around us and blurring the edges of the room.
I let out a small breath, my fingers still curled lightly into his shirt, and only then did I realize he hadn't moved yet.
I looked up at him.
He was already looking at me. His eyes moved over my face, my shoulders, my posture, taking in more than I probably noticed myself.
"I'm okay," I assured softly.
He didn't answer immediately, but after a second, he nodded once and finally set me down on my feet.
I watched him for a moment as he moved around, preparing the bath like it wasn't anything new to him. Then something caught my attention.
His horns were gone.
