Chapter 26：“You Owe Me”

Cynthia’s POV

How do you plan on thanking me?

I can’t help but blush at the words. There are a lot of things I could do to thank him. My skin still tingles with the memory of his soft kisses along my neck.

I have bigger things to worry about, though.

I tilt my head, trying to come up with a more appropriate answer. “It doesn’t seem like there’s much you’re lacking,” I say finally.

The words amuse Vikrov. He laughs a little. “So you owe me, then?”

“Owe you?” I repeat.

“As repayment,” he explains. “You’ll have to fulfill a wish of mine. I haven’t decided what I want from you yet.” Vikrov winks playfully. “So you owe me one wish.”

I figure with Vikrov’s status and abilities, there can’t be much he desires that he doesn’t already have, or that I could provide for him. Maybe he’ll never need that wish. Maybe he’ll forget about it by tomorrow.

Or maybe he’ll cash it in for something fun.

“Alright,” I agree.
