A soft moan leaves her lips.
“So fucking delicious,” I whisper against her skin, as she tilts her neck to the side. My hands dig into her hips, my cock hard as a fucking rock despite my motives. I want her; I’ve always wanted her.
And one day, when she forgives me, I’ll tell her that.
Trailing my tongue up the side of her throat, I press my lips to the side of her mouth, pinning her against me. Then, I pull back just enough to stare into her beautiful eyes. She watches me, wariness in her gaze as I hold it, dipping my head until we’re less than a breath apart.
I wait, holding my position until she closes the distance and presses her lips to mine. The power in her kiss knocks the breath from my lungs as she opens her mouth and plunges her tongue into mine.
My blood hammers as I pour everything I’ve ever felt into that kiss.
Every longing look.
Every touch I imagined.
Every fucking moment I wanted her more than I wanted to draw my next breath.
I devour her, taking everything she offers, and for a brief moment, I forget what I have to do.Please forgive me,I silently urge as I spin her around and deposit her right into the middle of the ward.
Magic surges through my body, and Bronywyn shoves away from me, her eyes wide and nearly all black.
“What did you do?” she roars, violet shadows encircling her forearms.
“What I had to do.”
Ridley appears with the group, and Bronywyn whirls on them. Lips pulled back in a snarl, she glares at Delaney. “You.”
“We want to help you,” Delaney assures her.
She turns to me, lipstick smeared, eyes glistening with betrayal. “You miserable bastard.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Your words mean nothing to me, Tarnley. I will never forgive you for this.” Tears burn in the corners of her eyes as she raises both palms. Violet flames roar to life within them, and she flings them toward me. They hit the barrier and sizzle, leaving sparks falling to my floor. Her eyes blaze with the force of her power, and I’m helpless to look away.
“You did this to yourself,” Rainey says, as she comes to stand beside me with Elijah flanking my other side.
“You will all pay for this,” Bronywyn whispers, her voice lower than normal. “I told you what would happen if you came for me.”
“Do it,” Delaney orders.
Fearghas nods at Ridley then goes to stand on the opposite side of Bronywyn. The two fae face off with her in the middle, and after a brief nod, two massive sets of wings wrap around the ward, almost completely blocking her off from me.
She stares at them, an animal trapped in a cage, whipping back and forth between the two men as magic blazes from her hands. Fearghas’s black wings shimmer with color while Ridley’s deep green one’s flex with power. The two fae are imposing, their magic pulsating around the room.
Bronywyn turns to me a moment before she throws her head back and screams. The chilling sound echoes off my walls, contained by the magical barrier keeping the rest of the world from hearing or seeing what’s going on in here.
Her head flies back, arms flinging out to her sides as magic whirls around her. It leaves her body, hovering just above her like a thick fog.
Her screams echo through my brain. Just as I’m about to turn away, Rainey’s hand goes to my arm, a gentle touch to let me know I’m not alone. My gaze travels to Delaney, who is watching the show with silent tears streaming down her face and a focused determination for this to work.
A determination that I more than share. It has to work.
Bronywyn drops to her knees, blood dripping from her nose and both ears. When she looks up at me, I take a step forward. But not because I can see it working. Eyes completely black, she glares at me, a snarl on her lips.
The snarl mutates, turning up into a savage grin, and her head tilts to the side. “Run.”
Ridley roars in pain, his wings smoldering as Bronywyn turns her full attention to him and slowly gets to her feet.
