In this excerpt from "Onyx" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the characters share an intimate moment filled with tension and emotion. One character reassures the other that they will continue to see each other, recognizing the impact of their connection. The dialogue reveals a playful yet serious undertone as they explore their desires and feelings for one another.
The interaction escalates as Daemon, displaying confidence and allure, lifts the other character onto a desk, intensifying the physical aspect of their relationship.
