Not ever.
We fly through the front entrance of the building, the visible gravito bursting into nothing as we do.
Shouts follow us.
But I change my aim.
And we go up.
Up and up. Until we’re in the clouds.
Rune smiles against my skin. And I finally slow to a stop.
My mate pulls back so I can see the grin on her face. “You’re crazy.”
My grin matches hers. “Want to be crazy together and disappear for a few hours?”
She nods. “I think that’s a great idea.”
I lower one hand to her ass, the other still around her back. “Give me a boost first.”
“Wha—”
I sink my fangs into her neck.
She groans.
And I suck.
Warm liquid chocolate fills my mouth.
I swallow.
And because Rune is writhing, I do it again.
The power of my mate’s blood is instant inside me.
“Vameer.” Rune tangles her hands in my hair.
And I need her on the ground.
Or…
The clouds around us shift, revealing bits of blue.
Nighttime.
I can fuck my mate in the sky when it’s nighttime.
Slipping my fangs free, I drag my tongue over the bite mark, feeling it heal itself even as I do.
My eyes roll back as I lick the taste of her blood off my lips.
When I open them, Rune is looking at me with heat.
I call more of my power.
A layer of gravito covers my back. It crawls down my arms. It pulls the sides of my robe around Rune. It wraps around us until we’re cocooned in a shell of protection.
