He falls into my arms, wrapping his fingers around my waist. He's here.

A slight chuckle escapes my lips. "I thought I was alone."

"I'll be alone with you."

A smile forms on my lips. And he's kissing me. Once, twice, until I've had a taste and realize I'll never have enough. He's everywhere up my back and over my arms and suddenly he's kissing me harder, deeper, with a fervent urgent need I've never known before.

I never want to leave him

"Your Majesty, we are sorry to inform you, but Her Royal Highness escaped."

"How could she flee?", the king asks.

"We heard rumours it was with Sepher."

The king seizes a slow breath, attaining a glass of wine. "What are you doing standing there? Locate them!"

"I want her head. Shira Catherine Adler is guilty of treason."

"He's gone mad."

"He'll find us."

"Perhaps, I could conjure up a spell to hide our scents."

"How long will that last?", Sepher asks.

Not long

"You're right! I'm sorry, Sepher."

My voice aches, as Sepher binds his arms around mine. "Maybe in another life, love should be easy, nothing like this."

"No!"

"Why did they take her? They wanted us! She was safe. Sepher, she was safe. We're going to die—"

"No. I'm going to die. You are his wife, he won't kill you. It's me he wants, the betrayal a "servant" made to his king."
