When she lets out another cry and arches back, her magic flaring and flames flickering from her hands, I allow my own release, yelling and erupting into her as my orgasm claims me. Luciana keeps rocking her hips, pushing me even further until my heart is pounding so hard I think it might burst. With my hands still at her hips, I roll us onto our sides and pull her against my chest.
“Luciana,” I murmur, breathless and still seeing stars from the strength of my climax. Her name feels beautiful on my tongue. “Luciana…” I kiss her cheek and along her jaw. “Luciana…” I find her mouth and crush it to mine, and she lets out a little mmm sound against my lips.
After several moments, I pull back. “If that’s how you treat your prisoners, then you can lock me up and throw away the key,” I whisper. My fingers trace the backs of her shoulder blades as I hold her against me, feeling our hearts thrum together.
She looks up at me, running her pointer finger down over my lips. “How did this happen?”
“How did what happen?”
“I was supposed to hate you,” she says. “You’re the enemy.”
“Are you trying to say this isn’t just hate sex?” I smile and kiss her again.
“Is that what it is for you?”
“I’m not really sure what this is.” I run a hand through her curls, cupping her cheek with my palm. “But no, I don’t hate you. Even though I should. Even though you infiltrated my company under false pretenses and used your powers of seduction to get close to me.”
“Mmm,” she murmurs again. “Infiltrated… we’ve done a lot of that, haven’t we?”
“Indeed, we have.” My fingers trail down her back and around the curve of her ass. “Though I suppose we need to pause on that while we figure out what on earth we’re going to do about the position we find ourselves in.”
“Your brother will no doubt be checking on you soon to see if you handled me as you promised.” Luciana bites her lower lip. “Which means the raid needs to happen soon.”
I nod, contemplating. “You should do it at midnight when everyone is gathered in one place. All of their staff will be there in the ballroom, too. Everyone comes for the final vote.”
“That’s four hours from now,” she says. “You should probably disappear before then.”
I cock my head to the side. “Won’t your witch friends be suspicious if you let me go?”
“I won’t lie about it.” She shakes her head. “This is my mission. They’ll have to trust my judgment.”
“Your mission.” I pull her closer against me. “You know that makes you sound like an impossibly hot secret spy?”
“Sound like?” She arches a brow. “I am an impossibly hot secret spy.”
A spike of desire moves through me, even though we just finished. “I meant what I said, earlier, though. I’m not letting you go. I’ll stay for the raid.”
“Isn’t that going to be hard, though?” she murmurs. “Watching Caspian be taken away?”
Caspian threatening Luciana, wanting me to kill her… it was the last straw. He’d already destroyed our parents and siblings. I don’t want anything to do with family loyalty that involves killing each and every person I’ve ever cared about.
I take a deep breath. “I should have made my stand against him long ago. I won’t hide from it now.”
Luciana runs her fingers along my jawline, her eyes filled with worry.
“Besides,” I add. “If I don’t show my face soon, they’re all going to get suspicious, especially Caspian. I need to make an appearance so no one thinks twice about it.” I jerk my head toward our pile of clothing a few feet away. “Go ahead. Make the call to your people.”
She casts me one more look with those hazel eyes and then she shimmies toward her clothing and grabs her phone. She sends a quick text and then she turns back to me.
“It’s done,” she says. “The raid begins at midnight.”
