“You’re sure he’s dead, Jace?”
He smiled sadly and nodded, stroking my face with the tips of his finger. “Yes… I’m sure. We recovered his body from thewreckage at the farmhouse two hours ago. He was immediately cremated. He’s gone, and he’s not coming back.”
I bit on my lower lip, a fusion of mixed emotions washing over me.
“And Lysandra? What happened to her, Jace?” I whispered, worriedly.
He sighed and shook his head. “Endora, the enchantress in Silverhold, has tracked her to an old house where she used to stay with Agnan. She’s been taken into custody. Zen and Mirielle will likely execute her for her crimes.”
It was a terrible, tragic end for a fae who had never been given a chance, but Lysandra had proven that she could not be trusted. As long as she walked around, she would continue to try to revive the Order of Souls. It was the best thing for Mystara, but I couldn’t help but feel heaviness in my chest.
Jace set me back against the pillows and stroked my hair softly, his fingers lingering along my jawline.
“I was so worried about you, Elix. I can’t explain how scared I was when I saw you in that bed, so helpless.”
“I’m sorry,” I mumbled, lowering my gaze.
“No. I’m sorry. I should never have let you out of my sight.”
My eyes darted up again. “You really were ready to forge a blood oath with him?”
He laughed hollowly, shaking his head. “What kind of question is that? You’re my everything, Elix. I would have given him my soul if it meant saving you.” He leaned down to kiss my lips softly. “You’re my queen, aren’t you?”
My heart had never felt lighter, and without answering, I pushed him back on the bed, straddling him, a new burst of strength washing through me.
“Easy,” he murmured when I allowed him to speak, my mouth crushing to his. “You need to rest.”
“I’ve rested more than enough. I need to be with my king,” I corrected him. Jace didn’t need much convincing, his hands reaching up under the nightshirt that I had no recollection of changing into. His hand found the contours of my flat stomach, fingertips landing inches from my breasts as I sighed.
I pressed harder against him, like I wanted to melt into him, our kiss deepening, and Jace skillfully yanked the shirt over my head, dropping kisses along my neck and chest as he moved. When the shirt was gone, he sat up against my straddle and buried his face deep into my cleavage, inhaling me like he always did.
My hands snaked into his hair, and in unison, we released sighs of pleasure, his hands splaying open on my back.
“I really never thought this would happen again,” he confessed between kisses, and another knife stabbed through my soul at his admission. For all the agony we had endured, he had been the only thing that had kept me going.
I pulled his face toward mine, eyes boring into his to show him that I was still with him, no matter what.
“I will be your queen,” I answered, relishing the smile that formed on his handsome face. “We’ll never be apart again.”
Jace pushed me back now, and I landed gently against the pillows as he took my hardened nipple in his mouth, sucking and manipulating it with his tongue and lips. But this was not a time for foreplay.
My body rose against him, urging his strong torso back up toward me, his lips to mine again as my hands worked at the waistband of his pants. Simultaneously, he worked at mine, and in seconds, we were naked, my legs wrapped around him.
“No,” he growled, “no, like this.”
Falling back, his strong hands slid to my waist, and suddenly, I was face-first in the pillows beneath me. Jace spread me apart, the tip of his massive cock already prodding at me, and withoutwarning, he entered me. I thought I was ready, but his size took me aback like it always did.
“Shh,” he teased, encircling an arm around my waist, his breath hot in my ear. “You’ll alarm the staff.”
I didn’t care how much noise we made, our lovemaking growing louder and wilder by the moment, each thrust of him driving me closer to the edge of my climax, and in minutes, I was ready to release.
“That’s my good girl,” he sighed, his cock tightening inside me, my walls closing in around him. “Just what I need.”
In hot ribbons, he spent himself, too, one after the other until there was no more left in him, my knees falling out to tumble us both onto the comfortable bed. Jace’s strong arm remained around my waist, holding me close to his chest.
“Did you mean what you said?” he murmured huskily in my ear.
“Hmm?”
