In the time chamber, the Immortal Crystals thrummed as they released energy, creating a field in an enclosed space that began to speed up time.

The man had his hand placed on her shoulder and held her steady.
His other hand brushed her cheek and her lush black hair, and she gazed at him, seeing his eyes full of desire and his face full of tenderness. She felt herself become dazed as he started rubbing her face and neck with his hands as if he was soothing a child.

Tanya tried to look away. But she found it impossible to turn away when he abruptly held her chin, his fingers moving across her neck and down her chest, tracing a path to her bosom and making her heart flutter.
