Two hearts beating together like they belong to the same body.
Sorren tilts his head and deepens the kiss, and I melt against him instantly. My fingers slide into his hair and hold on as his mouth moves over mine again and again.
A soft sound escapes me before I can stop it.
Sorren answers with a low rumble in his chest.
His hand slides up my side, slow and possessive, until his palm cups the back of my neck and holds me there while he kisses me like he’s been thinking about this moment all day.
Maybe all week.
My entire body burns with a quiet, familiar need for him. The kind that builds slowly and steadily until every nerve feels alive.
When he finally pulls back, it’s only far enough that our foreheads rest together.
His breath brushes my lips.
Mine comes out a little shaky.
“Take me home so we can do this properly, bunny king,” I whisper, breathless.
The corner of Sorren’s mouth curves upward. His teeth graze my lower lip in a teasing little nip that makes heat shoot straight down my spine. A low growl rumbles in his throat. “Gladly, mate.”
Before he lets me go, Sorren kisses me again. One hand slides up to cradle my jaw while the other finds the emerald at my throat.
His thumb brushes across the stone thoughtfully. Once that necklace tried to tear us apart. Now it’s nothing more than a reminder.
Magic can bind hearts.
But love is stronger.
Love is a choice.
Every single day, we choose each other.
THE END
