Cassian looked at his prim and proper mate as she tried hard to maintain her dignity right after sucking his soul out with those sinful lips of hers. After kissing him for the second time, she moved to the seat across from him, adamant about maintaining her distance. She sat with her hands above one another as she stared outside the window refusing to meet his piercing gaze.
"My lady?" Cassian called, wanting to gain her attention, but he received none. The only reaction he got from her was her clenched jaw trying her hardest to ignore him. That made his heart drop to the pit of his stomach. Had he done something wrong? He was certain that she reciprocated his passion of her own free will. He had not even used his pheromones in this context, he made sure of it. About the mate pull...he couldn't do anything to stop it. Regardless, it wouldn't have worked without Iris being sexually attracted to him.
