It means more to the Unseelie than their own lives.

I hadn’t truly understood how differently Daire sees the world than Aurelius or Lanlin do.

Yet I am seeing it now.

He would do anything to taste freedom, even die.

My throat becomes dry.

He is taking this risk for Lanlin and our pack.

Will Lanlin appreciate that? Understand it?

Finally, I nod.

Daire’s expression brightens with a sunny joy, even as fear courses through me. He pushes me onto my back, and his majestic wings spread out, until he turns day to night. His shadows surround me, caressing me with their icy feathers.

Daire pushes my dress up, and I widen my thighs.

My pussy is already wet and aching for him.

Daire thrusts into me, slow and perfect.

I moan, still clutching the stone, until it indents my palm and I believe that I will be marked forever.

Then Daire fucks me, frantic and hard.

It’s devastating.

“We’ll explain to Sin.” Daire gasps. “Apologize. Then entice our Vampire King back.”

Or die trying is hidden in every thrust of his hips

Daire’s wings flap, gusting air across my face like wind. We are caught in his shadows, flying through the night sky together, already free.

But that’s only an illusion.

The lodestone hasn’t touched the bracelets on Daire’s wrists that I can see dangling near my head, as he clutches the sheets beside my head.

Ecstasy coils through me. It builds fast and hard, and when Daire kisses me with the passion of someone who knows that it could be the last time — his goodbye — I come with a sob.

Then Daire is coming too. “Spark…”

I snarl, reversing our positions. I shove Daire’s hands above his head, pushing down hard on his wrists to hold them beneath me.

Daire lies below me, another beautiful sacrifice.

He doesn’t struggle but looks up at me with such painful gratitude that I have to look away.

“Are you serious about this?” I can’t stop myself checking in one final time.

Say no…

“Deadly.” Daire’s gaze is open.

Trusting.

A tear slips down my cheek, as I force myself to open my hand.
