“I just said I did. I do. You think I’m lying?”
“No. I—I’m just used to—”
“Fuck what you’re used to!” The passionate exclamation explodes from me.
Rage over how he’s been treated makes my cheeks hot. I want to punch anyone who’s ever made him think he isn’t worthy of love. I imagine he’s received countless stares and shitty comments from the snotty fae nobles, and even though he tries to act unaffected, they’ve damaged his self-esteem.
“Fuck every person who’s ever looked at you like you’re less,” I continue.
Pulling the sleeves of my dress off my shoulders, I shimmy out of the gown and let it slip down my body. The material pools around my ankles, and the steamy air kisses my bare skin.
Kai groans quietly when he zeroes in on my breasts, and I like the way his lips part as he gawks at me.
My underwear is next, and I kick off my shoes. Nude, I go up the tub steps and lower myself into the hot bath.
Wading over to Kai, I put myself under the waterfall with him. Dirt rinses from my hair and skin as I wrap a bold hand around his cock, which is now fully hard and throbbing with his pulse.
“Better yet… Fuckme.”
Ro
Ican see the exact second Kai finally believes me. Tension eases on his face. His nostrils flare. His frown changes from a thin line to a relaxed pout.
His self-loathing dissolves, and it blows out of this room like dust in the wind, away from this building, gone for good.
Something shifts between us as we hold eye contact.
A veil comes down, and we’re more connected than we’ve ever been because there’s no fear or secrets separating us.
Still gripping his length, I whisper, “I’ll always want you, Kai. All versions of you, in any place, under any circumstances.”
Closing his eyes for a second, he breathes in deep as if he’s inhaling my words.
Then he cradles my face and bends down to lightly bump our foreheads together. “Sunny. My Sunny. I’m yours. I’m yours if you want me. I’m yours even if you don’t. I’ve belonged to you since the second we met, and that’s never going to change.” He runs a finger over my collarbone, tracing the line to my shoulder. “But I need you to understand what you’re getting into with me.”
I feel a bit drunk from happiness. “Why does that sound like a warning?”
“Because it is. I don’t want to scare you, but the love I feel for you is so overwhelming, I’m frightened by it. I’ve never been possessive of a woman until you, and I’m being honest when I say I want to own you.Own you,” he emphasizes gruffly. “You’ve been trapped before, and the fucked-up part of it is that I can see why someone would want to hold onto you so tightly. If you allow me to immerse myself in what I feel for you, I won’t let you out of my sight because I’ll be afraid you’ll disappear. I’ll follow you everywhere. I’ll be your constant shadow. I’ll shirk my duties and lie in bed with you all day. At night, I’ll watch you sleep. Any nightmares you have, I’ll chase them back to hell, and every waking moment will be filled with so much pleasure, you’ll never wish another minute away.”
My heart thumps overtime. Coming from anyone else, this would majorly creep me out, but I’ve never wanted anything more, as long as it’s Kai.
“I wouldn’t feel trapped with you,” I tell him. “I’d feel protected. Cherished. I’ve been lost for as long as I can remember, but then you found me.You found me, Kai.” Placing my palm over his chest, I feel his heart thundering as much as mine. “This is where I belong. With you.”
“You won’t regret it. I won’t let you down. Ever.”
“I know.” I’m still holding onto his cock with my other hand, and I give it a stroke. “Now, can we just shut up already so you can show me what it’s like to be fucked by the man I love?”
Smirking, Kai bends down, and I think he’s going to kiss me, but he stops short. “I want something from you first.”
“Anything.”
“I want to say the mate vow.”
Shocked, I pause. “But that’s for fated pairs.”
“Fate brought us together,” he points out, “and that’s good enough for me. It shows me we’re meant to be, so I’m going to do this right. Before I take your body, I want to give you my soul.”
“You can’t give me what you don’t have. The Lost Land stole your soul,” I remind him. “Mine is gone, too.”
