And I fucking loved her for it.

Those headaches were what had woken me the fuck up. Her truthful statements and claims were what had pulled me from the fog in my mind, forcing me to live in the present. To move on from the past. To consider a potential future.

I continued my path downward along her flat abdomen, my tongue dipping into her belly button along the way. All the while, I told her what I was thinking, how she’d changed my perspective on life. Provided me with new opportunities. Redefined my entire existence.

“It’s a lot, I know,” I whispered, my mouth near her clit. “But, Cami, I mean it—I’m so damn thankful to have you in my life. No matter how long or short it may become,youwere worth every moment of pain and suffering from my past. And you’ll continue to be worth it in the future, too.”

CHAPTER12

CAMI

Ajax’s eyeswere a dark swirl of emotion, his words a reverent kiss to my ears.

I… I didn’t know what to say. He’d just poured his soul into those statements, allowing me through his barriers and to the core of his existence.

I could almost feel his pain as though it was my own, his resulting loneliness a tangible presence I more than understood.

Because I, too, had been alone most of my life. Although my loneliness had been for entirely different reasons, I still understood the plight of having no one else to rely on. No one else to trust. No one else tolove.

However, we were in this together now.

Two rebels fleeing a dangerous court.

Two fae running from a lethal king.

Ajax had chosen me.

And now… now I wanted to choose him.

Our days were numbered. Why spend them alone? Why fight our emotions for one another?

Ajax’s lips sealed over my clit, causing my back to arch as a scream left my lips. He growled in approval, his palms skimming up my thighs to my hips, holding me in place while he devoured me.

Fuck.I’d told him we didn’t need any foreplay. I’d been wrong. Foreplay wasalwaysappreciated.

I grabbed the back of his head, my nails dragging through his dark hair.So soft. So thick. So… ohhh.

His incisors against my tender flesh sent a shock wave through my system, my breath catching in my throat.

Then his tongue followed, swirling against my skin to soothe the sting.

“Did… did you… break skin?” I asked, breathless from the sensations rolling through my body.So close. Too close. Fuck, that… yes…

“No.” He repeated the nibble, the sharp end stirring another jolt, this one even more intense than the last. “I told you I won’t bite you without permission. I meant it.” He laved the hurt away once more. “I’m just indulging in your sweet pussy, little rebel. I love making you jump.”

He did it a third time, causing me to moan. Because damn, that felt…good.Different. A little dangerous. And equal parts erotic.

“I like it,” I admitted.

“I know.” The two words were spoken against my slick heat, the confidence in his tone making my thighs tense.

He’d listed several of my attributes that he liked about me. Well, his confidence was one of the many characteristics I liked about him.

I also really appreciated his mouth. And his tongue. And hishands—both of which were gliding up to my breasts.

His thumbs teased my nipples as he taunted me with his vampiric kiss below.

I wanted more.
