Unease cut through me, not knowing if I should continue. When she became silent, I decided to keep going.

“By the time you find this letter we will be gone, and for that, I’m truly sorry. Nevertheless, this means Braxton is already back in Caelisium, helping you fight, and you have found the accord behind Khayden’s portrait, which prompted you to search the back of ours.

Sunshine, please believe that your mother and I wish things could have been different. We fought with everything we had in us to stay by your side. To see you grow into the amazing woman, kind, and selfless ruler we know you must be.

Being a parent changes you forever. We love you more than we could have ever imagined possible, so we need you to know without a shadow of a doubt that even though we are gone, we did not leave you willingly. But we willingly gave our lives for yours—”

“Stop,” she urged, leaving her place on my chest, and lifting a hand as if to physically prevent me from continuing. “I can’t,” she murmured, the air seeming to lodge in her throat. “I cannot do this tonight.”

“Evie…” I reached for her, but she got up from the bed, clutching her chest once she stopped by the window.

Concerned, I walked to her side. Her eyes shone while she glanced at the sliver of moonlight seeping through the skylight, and as strange as it was, I wished she would cry. The amount of pain she repressed would one day crush her if she didn’t set it free.

I couldn’t fault her for not being able to read the letter, it had taken me days before I felt strong enough to read my mother’s words, and even then, it was harder than I imagined.

My chest sliced with her hurt, and I wished I could help. “Let it be, Evie. Just, let yourself feel what you—”

“I can’t,” she whispered, glancing up at me with glistening eyes, a vulnerability I hadn’t seen capturing their depths. “It will break me.” Her confession was almost inaudible, but it might as well have been a scream.

Bringing her into my chest, I held her like she was made from glass, because in that moment, it felt like she was.

Evie’s fingers curled around my neck, and she pulled me down to her, her gaze penetrating mine for a few moments before she kissed me. Her lips moved over mine, fueled by an unfathomable need. Responding to her silent demand to love her and take her pain away, my body awoke for her, and I hardened instantly.

Her feet left the ground the next second as I carried her, legs wrapping around my waist while I took her to the bed. Our clothes fell to the floor hurriedly, forgotten, our bodies aching more and more for each other. Laying her on the bed, I allowed my fingers to caress her hair, guiding her golden strands over her full breasts, rosy nipples puckering under my touch.

“Braxton,” Evie whimpered, begging me to join her, and her legs parted for me.

My gaze fell to her beautiful, glistening core, the sight urging me inside her. Giving her exactly what she wanted, I lay on top of her, our naked bodies flushing against the other until I throbbed against her belly. Fuck, I wanted her.

Lifting my hips, I slid inside her with a powerful thrust, hands gripping her ass at the same time and tilting it so I could go in all the way. So deeply that I reached her core.

A loud moan erupted from Evie’s chest, and she pulled me impossibly closer, her walls gripping my hardened body like they never wanted me to slide out of her. Feeling exactly what she wanted, I pulled out only a bit and then thrust back in, going as deep as possible and pushing against her core over, and over again.

Evie sang for me. She fucking sang for me so beautifully.

Her moans rose as I slowly pulled out and plunged back in, teasing the deepest part of her. Our lips danced together while I moved with leisurely, sensual strokes. Her thighs closed around me harshly, not wanting to let me go, but she had nothing to worry about, all I wanted was to feel myself inside her this way, utterly and completely immersed in her.

Settling my arms on either side of her head, I pushed our navels even closer, grinding against her, and rubbing the most sensitive part of her every time I thrusted into her core.

“Braxton… Yes…” she moaned.

“I know, Baby,” I whispered against her jaw, kissing my way to her neck, pushing even deeper inside her.

Sweat spread along our skins, helping me glide against her as she pulled my face back to hers, devouring my mouth with need. Evie’s fingers tangled in my hair, and she pulled it, taunting me while my hips rocked in and out of her, deliciously.

“Fuck,” I grunted, feeling myself losing it just as her heated walls contracted fiercely around my hardness.

She was so fucking wet and tight that I was lost in her.

“Evie,” I moaned just as her thighs began to tremble around me. Her breasts slightly bounced against my pecs as she quivered, rising to the highest peak of the abyss of pleasure, and fell, coming undone for me.

My mouth crashed against hers, swallowing her moans the instant she came for me, her heated walls sucking every inch of my hardness and making me jerk within her. I didn’t stop. My rhythm held steady and deep, letting her fall apart with the same intensity that pushed her to the edge.

Delicious. It felt so fucking good to be all the way inside her like this.

Ragged breaths escaped us both as she pulled me closer to my edge. She came down from the high just as I soared towards my abyss. A powerful shudder suddenly rushed down my spine, my thighs and ass tensing.

Evie flipped me on the bed, knowing I was so close that I was no longer in control. So much so that I was powerless but to see her slip me out of her, and lower herself on me, capturing me in her mouth.

The second her hand stroked me tightly and Evie’s tongue swirled around me, I lost all reason, coming for her exactly how she wanted me.

Fuck, I loved that woman.
