“Trying to make it like me.” His brow furrows, and when Meg hisses again, he drops his hand.
“Why would you do that? You hate that cat. You wanted me to leave it.” I come closer, leaning against the wall just to the side of the window and scratching Meg’s chin. She purrs loudly and I smile.
Loric shuts the book with a slam, grips my towel and pulls me closer, positioning me between his legs. Those sterling eyes meet mine, as he rests his chin against my sternum. “You love that cat. That’s enough for me. Even if it might eat someone someday.”
“You don’t have to do that…”
“Do what?” he asks, his fingers wrapping in my wet hair.
“Make friends with her for me. It’s okay.”
“I’d never…” His brow flexes, a smirk curving those full lips.
My eyes drop to the bite mark on his neck, tracing my fingers over it, watching him shiver at the touch. I’ll never get used to the way it shines, the gold and what it signifies.
“Look at me,” he whispers.
I do.
“I'd do anything for you. Got it? You didn't want your father to lose his memories? I found a loophole. You needed me to take you to another realm? Well, here you are. You wanted to keep that damn cat?” He gestures to Meg. “Can we please not pretend that if you told me to jump off the moons, I wouldn't use both feet?”
“Is that your way of telling me you love me?” I lick my lips, holding his stare.
“That’s me telling you that you’re my everything. That I’ll always do my best to make you happy, because I love you.”
I arch a brow. “So, you’d jump with no wings?”
“No wings,” he whispers, then plants a chaste kiss on my chest.
“You know… I literally jumped off the edge of the moon for you…”
The smirk that pulls his lips could stop my heart. “Oh yeah? Is that how you shifted.”
I nod. “Both feet. No wings… because I love you, too. More than you’ll ever know. More than even I can comprehend.”
He pulls me into his lap, hand gripped behind my head as he crushes his lips to mine.
“You can’t say things to me like that.” He groans against my lips.
“I will always say things like that.” I smile against him, and he kisses me again.
“I hope you’re right, Queen Everand.”
The End.
