TOG Truth or Dare

Part 11

When everyone was gone, Aelin let out a tired breath and went to hug Rowan. They held on to each other for a while just thinking and taking each other in. "We should go to bed too, I'm sore and tired," she said gesturing to all her fresh tattoos.

"Is your Fae feeling not going fast enough? Actually you should be completely healed by now." Rowan said examining Aelin's first few tattoos.

He grabbed a knife hidden in his boot and went to cut his hand open, "no!" Aelin began, reaching over. "What? We are carranam, I can help you heal faster," he answered.

"Can you keep a secret?" She asked, a wicked grin appearing to her face. They quickly cleaned up the whole room, not wanting to leave such a mess for the servants and Rowan scooped Aelin up, carrying her bridal style all the way to their room.

He used his wind magic to open and close the doors and then lay her down on the bed. She sat up and kissed him, her mate, she couldn't believe that they had gotten through so much and now they were finally in peace, together. He kissed her back with so much love, he walked the dark road with her through to the light. This was the light.

They got ready for bed and lay next to each other under the covers, Aelin held Rowan's hand tightly and squeezed, "I love you," she said looking up at him. "I love you too Fireheart," he said flicking her nose.
"Buzzard," she replied and went to flick his nose.

"Hey, what did you want to tell me, you know earlier?" He asked.

Remembering what she told Rowan after the war, she whispered, "I will tell you tomorrow,"
