Brutal.

Lips, tongue, and enamel too.

He ripped away from me with a snarl after a second, his palms gripping my face. “What the hell, Fireball? Who introduced you right here?”

“I did.” I held his gaze, defiance filling mine.

I wasn’t strolling away, it doesn’t matter what he mentioned.

“You’ll be able to’t be alone in right here with out dropping your thoughts. You received’t go away to save lots of your life. That is the reply.” I gestured towards myself. “Me.”

“You’re not staying on this fucking cell with me. I fought warmth for weeks to maintain you out of right here. I watched you endure, I pressured myself to not do something, I?—”

“How do you suppose I’ll really feel while you die in right here?” I demanded.

He blinked.

His brow wrinkled, simply barely.

“Did you even take into consideration me? You mentioned we had been mates, August. I awoke in our mattress alone the morning after we lastly had intercourse. You didn’t say goodbye. You deserted me. Eli stored saying that you simply had been coming again, that you simply wished me, however you by no means mentioned it your self. I assumed there was probability you had been going to reject me up till you known as me your mate this morning. I assumed I used to be coming right here for nothing, since you didn’t need me. I?—”

His lips crashed into mine once more, more durable than earlier than.

Extra determined.

I tasted his blood in my mouth because the kiss opened up certainly one of his wounds, however he didn’t cease.

So I didn’t both.

He pulled me nearer.

Kissed me more durable.

Lifted me onto his lap and recaptured my face whereas I sat on his erection. How he was laborious with all these wounds, I didn’t know.

His eyes met mine, fierce and emotional and nonetheless livid.

“I wished you. I all the time wished you, and I all the time will.” He kissed me once more roughly, however pulled away a breath later. “I’m fucking pissed that you simply adopted me right here. It kills me that you simply put your self at risk. That you simply snuck into the jail. That you simply flew with my brother. However I’m sufficient of a bastard that regardless of my anger, I’m relieved.” He brushed his thumb over my cheekbone. “Relieved that you simply’re right here with me, so I’m not alone. That we’re nonetheless a staff.”

I bit my lip.

“I’m sorry. I ought to’ve mentioned goodbye. I ought to’ve considered how a lot that may harm you. I ought to’ve made certain you knew rattling properly that I belong to you as a lot as you belong to me—and that I’d come again to you it doesn’t matter what it took. Even when it meant abandoning the thunder.”

“You simply advised me you weren’t keen to depart them.”

The depth in his gaze relaxed a bit. “I advised you they wouldn’t let me die, they usually received’t. When it comes right down to it, they’ll get me out. They’re pissed at me, however they don’t need me lifeless. In the event that they did, my brothers would get entangled.”

My brow wrinkled. “So that they’re not going to depart you to lose your thoughts or endure?”

“Oh, they need me to endure. To lose my thoughts a bit, too. They simply received’t let it kill me.”

Ah.

Nice family and friends. Actually, actually nice.

I couldn’t even fake to grasp the best way dragons labored, however he didn’t appear bothered about it, so I didn’t say something.

“Effectively, I’m not leaving,” I lastly mentioned. “Not till we’ve had a greater dialog than this, not less than.” I gestured between us. “Say you survive this for six months, what can we do subsequent? What’s your plan? To change into Jasper’s right-hand man or one thing?”
