"You," I panted. "I belong to you."

"Gods, yes you do. I don't care if you fuck those Fae, or even if you fall for them, don't forget you're mine too. Always. Your body belongs to me. Your gorgeous fucking body."

His words and his touch threw me over the edge, straight into that raging volcano. I was consumed by the heat that burned in my core and radiated out through the rest of my body.

My back pressed hard against the door, I cried out his name.

"I'm going to come inside you," he said. "Inside your body."

"Yes," I panted. "Come inside me. Show me whoyoubelong to."

With a series of strokes and grunts, he came hard, spilling himself deep inside my pussy.

"Gods, gods, yes." He groaned long and low, grinding himself against me to milk his cock for every drop of hot cum.

"I belong to you," he told me, even as his face twisted with the intensity of his orgasm. "Always."

He let out a harsh gasp, then sagged, his forehead pressed against the door beside my head. He panted for a while, slowly regaining his breath.

"I've waited so fucking long for that. I should have been more assertive sooner."

I laughed softly. "That wouldn't have gotten you anywhere. The time wasn't right. Until it was."

"You've changed." It wasn't an accusation, just an observation.

"I feel free here," I said. "Without the Temple, without the choker… I can finally be me. I can decide for myself. Before now, whatever we meant to each other, it would have felt temporary. I expected to be at one temple and you at another." I finally understood it was that which held me back. The idea of falling for him, only to spend our lives apart. I couldn’t do that to either of us. But now…

"I wouldn't have let that happen," he said firmly. "Whatever it took, I would have made sure we were together."

I believed that he would have tried, but if the Temple wanted to separate us, they would have. They held all the power over us there. Here, in Lysarial, we could do what we wanted. In the Fae Winter Court, we could be who we were meant to be.

"I need a bath," I said as he slid his cock out of me.

He sighed. "I wish I could join you, but Vayne is putting me to work and he's a prick. If he sees I'm not at my post, he'll think up some punishment for me."

I cupped his cheek with my hands. "Poor baby. If he gives you a spanking, can I watch?"

He chuckled, but he didn't say no.

For two more days, I searched for the library. I looked in all the obvious places, then the less obvious ones. In the end, I asked Ryze.

He smiled at me before he downed the last of his morning tea and set his teacup aside. The elegant porcelain was a stark contrast to the simple pottery cups I was used to back at the temple. Perhaps they should have looked out of place in the hands of a masculine male, but the Fae had such elegant hands, it was a perfect fit.

"I can show you, if you like," he offered. "Although, I'm surprised you haven't asked before now. You've been everywhere else in the palace from what I've heard." He arched an eyebrow at me.

I matched his expression. "Is that a problem?"

"Not at all," he said lightly. "As far as I'm concerned, this is your home too, for as long as you want. I see no reason why you shouldn't familiarise yourself with it."

If he had any idea what happened with Vayne and Zared, he gave no sign. Or he knew, but wasn't concerned. I half expected him to say something, chastise me for being on my knees in a public place. Instead, all we talked about while we ate breakfast was the weather, and how much I liked my nest. He seemed pleased that I enjoyed sleeping there as much as I did.

He nodded to Joviena who collected our plates and cups before he unfolded himself from his chair and offered me his arm.

"Let me show you the library."
