Anger and aggression bordering on rage — these were the emotions that burned in Baro's scarlet eyes as he entered the room at a brisk pace. Usually, such a reaction on his part was caused by your not-quite-standard behavior. Then you deliberately got on his nerves, after which the young man had to explain clearly how to behave with his king.

You both enjoyed these moments of disobedience: Baro relished the opportunity to put you in your place, and you — to bring him to emotions. Bright, catchy, as if he was back on the court, and where there was no mercy for either the opposing team or you.

However, none of the above happened today, and therefore his similar reaction was alarming.

"And where did all your audacity go, huh?" he asked with a slight growl, and then lightly touched the lobe of his flushed ear with his fangs.

Baro's deep baritone voice sent goosebumps down my skin. There was nothing but pure courage in this guy, testosterone and rudeness were oozing out of his body, but that voice? God, he turned you on every time, especially when Baro threatened you.
