“Don’t you assume?”

Shit. Lucia had requested me a query. “Uh, I agree.” I had no concept what I had simply agreed to.

A hand on my again saved me from persevering with the dialog. “Could I steal you for a second?” Ladon requested.

Lucia gave her commander a well mannered nod and turned away.

Ladon leaned in shut, nearer than ought to’ve been acceptable, however I didn’t have the power to retreat. “Include me.”

I adopted him out of the tent, the chilly air stinging my cheeks as we walked.

“The place are we going?”

“Should you’re going to struggle, you want correct weapons.” He stated it loud sufficient for passersby to listen to. Nothing suspicious happening right here.

As he dipped right into a tent, I half anticipated him to wrap me in a decent embrace. This was the primary evening we’d voluntarily spent aside, and I used to be dying to have my palms on him.

To my shock, the tent was truly full of weapons. I scoffed, however he didn’t discover.

First, he tossed me a small leather-based jacket, which I pulled on. The conceal dragon—versatile and troublesome to puncture. Then he grabbed a black belt and quite a lot of knives. Then he picked up a slender sword and turned to face me. “This one ought to work finest for you. It’s light-weight, however the blade is freshly sharpened. It’s an appropriate size on your peak as nicely.”

I used to be nonetheless staring on the sword when he wrapped the belt round my waist. I smiled as he tightened it and sheathed the knives.

“This isn’t observe,” he warned me. “Use your magic freely. Your powers work nicely at a distance. Solely interact in direct fight when you should.”

He was so severe. I grinned. “You’re not going to inform me to remain behind?”

“No,” he stated with a tone of indignation. “I consider in you.”

His reply shocked me. “Oh.”

“If that’s all then, let’s get going.”

“Dangle on,” I stated, grabbing his arm as he strode previous. He appeared the place my hand-held his jacket, however he didn’t draw back. “Is that it? You don’t wish to say anything?”

His throat bobbed as he swallowed. Then he launched a heavy sigh. “I feel it’s higher if I don’t.”

I let go, feeling a bit dejected. Perhaps he might go away his emotions behind within the depths of Murvort’s mountains, however I couldn’t. I couldn’t overlook the best way he’d opened as much as me, nor the best way his contact made my abdomen twist with want.

He took three steps towards the door earlier than I shouted his identify.

“Ladon!”

He rotated with a glance of sorrow and longing. Earlier than he might open his mouth, I ran and leapt into his arms, wrapping mine behind his neck. His lips parted for me and I licked the within of his mouth, tasting him for what is perhaps the final time.

I felt him attain behind me, gripping my thighs and hoisting me up. Then he slammed me towards a tent submit and devoured me, moaning and panting between frantic kisses.

I clung to his hair whereas he licked his method down my neck and to my chest. His hips writhed towards mine, making a friction that was candy as sin. His hand roamed my physique, cupping my breasts over high of my leather-based jacket.

Extra. I wished extra of him.

However abruptly he was dropping me to my ft, placing a small quantity of area between us which may as nicely have been infinite. He held my cheeks and dropped his brow to mine, nonetheless respiration closely.

“I…I feel I like—”

“Don’t,” I stated abruptly, interrupting what seemed like a goodbye. “Don’t say it. After. Inform me after.”
