Then her lips part on a sigh and she welcomes my kisses, letting me taste her, soothe her, give my own soul up for her to keep.

And I fall deeper for her than before.

When she breaks the tender touch, her gaze is filled with the fire that blazes within her brighter than ever.

“Keep your promises and your kisses, Dom. Keep them for the day you can fulfil both.” She stares up at me, her fierce soul reaching out to claim mine.

“The day I do, I’ll fall at your feet and offer my penance,” I murmur. “I’ll worship you and keep you safe, Thalia. Always. But one day … that day, you’ll be mine.”

The air between us stills, until she nods and raises on her tiptoes to graze her mouth across mine, sealing the promise I make to her.

Thalia lets me lead her out of the kitchen, leaving Luca alone. His hard eyes raise to hold mine, his sardonic smile a twist of lips and teeth.

“Show off.”

The End
