He raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Anything I can do to help?"

I pressed up against his body, wrapping my arms around his neck. "I was thinking we could … explore some things inside this room a bit more. Maybesheathyour sword."

His eyes darkened with desire. "I like the way you think."

I released the dam preventing the open flow from my half of the bond. Casimir did the same.

Our lips met in a fiery kiss as he lifted me up and carried me towards the large bed in the center of the room. We tumbled onto the soft mattress, hands exploring each other's bodies eagerly.

We tugged and tore at each other's clothing with desperate urgency, our ardor heightening when skin met skin.

Moans and sighs floated in the air, mixing into a lingering chorus that seemed to wrap around us as he moved within me.

Our breathless pleasure was a living entity. Lost to the moment, it shut out the rest of the world and cradled us in its embrace.

We came together, tethered souls and tangled limbs, until our energy slowly dissolved into a blissful exhaustion.

Casimir rolled onto his side and pulled me close, our hearts still racing in tandem. I looked up into his eyes and smiled, feeling more content than I ever had before.

"You know," I said, tracing a finger down his chest. "We should explore this room more often."

One side of his mouth lifted. "I think that's a great idea. We'll explore more as soon as you wake from your nap."

I nestled against his chest, feeling peaceful and content, until sleep claimed us both.

Epilogue

Raven

"I don't like this."

I'd known he wouldn't, but I was more than safe and Casimir would realize it soon enough. I just needed him to be quiet.

"Shh. I'm concentrating."

The sun's rays shining down on us were heavenly. The air was calm and the trees were full of life. Birds sang merrily from the branches above.

Face to the sky, I enjoyed the warmth on my skin and the sounds in my ears. My senses loved being immersed in nature, which appealed to both my fae and witch halves.

Suddenly, there was a sound like a thunderclap and a rush of air. Casimir pressed into my side as the winged creature came tumbling out of the sky and landed in the clearing.

He was huge, twice as big as the last time we'd met. The dark green scales covering him were even darker, nearly black.

"Hello, Blaze."

Slitted yellow eyes fixed me with a penetrating gaze. I felt myself being drawn in, my mind filled with images and sensations. Blaze was showing me his life.

I stepped forward and he retracted his wings. His tail swayed, reminding me of the gargoyle pups when they wiggled with delight.

"Yes, I'm happy to see you, as well."

I touched his scaly hide and he shivered.

"Should I be concerned he's going to steal you away from me and take you to live in his lair, Little Bird?"

"Of course not. But if he did, would you come with me?"

"Always." His palm flatted beside mine, petting the wyvern.
