His lips nudged mine. “Two months ago, in a cave, in your arms.”
Seconds later, he leaned to the side and swiped up his white shirt.
He pulled the shirt down, my head popping through the neckline.
I pushed my arms through the sleeves, confused. “What are you doing?”
“I don’t want anyone to see you,” he said, standing with me in his arms.
“Where are we going?”
Stone stayed silent with a wicked grin.
He unlocked the back door, and when he opened it, a rush of winter blew into us, cooling our heated skin. Stone stepped out onto the balcony. We both looked up, and the navy night sky looked to be bleeding from the red moon.
My spine hit the thick square column, and he nailed me there, thrusting inside me. “Do you believe our love to be immortal?” he panted, a blue vein popping in his neck as he plunged inside with deep, ardent thrusts.
“Yes,” I said on a moan, clawing at his scalp, the pleasure almost too much to bear. Stone smiled at my response and curled his fingers into my hips as he pinned himself deep. Every grind was a fight to get closer, as if he could get any closer, as if he could crawl inside me.
He cursed, dropping his head into the curve of my neck, and I clung to him, an orgasm building. In an instant, a gray dawn bled across the horizon as night turned to day. And this daylight moved across us as the sun came up behind Norse Woods.
“Stone, the sun,” I gasped, hitting his shoulder.
He lifted his head and looked at me; a man in love.
Then he held the side of my face and swept me up in a kiss.
Stone bound himself to me under the light of the sun for the first time.
The Heathen and the siren, immortal love in their veins.
Town Hall Meeting
“Adora.”
Stone was staring back at me from across the room, and I was locked up in his tragic-black gaze. The memory of his heavy breathing in my ear was nothing more than my heart pounding now.Stone ... Stone ... Stone ...
“Adora?”
I tore my eyes from him, seeing Kane being taken away.
“I’m worried about you,” Ivy said.
When I looked back at Stone, he was taking a step toward me, but Julian grabbed him, stepping in front of him. Stone scanned the room, laying his hands on Julian’s shoulders to move past him, but Julian kept him back, speaking low in his ear. Stone paused and looked at the front of the room, where Augustine stood. Then his eyes swept back to me.
Julian had to have told him that it wasn’t safe yet to be public in town. People would lose their minds.
Especially Sacred Sea.
“Adora, did you hear me?” Ivy asked. “Maybe you should come back home for a few hours.”
“Yeah,” I said, nausea flipping inside me, knowing there was one last thing I needed to do for Mom. “Yes, that’s probably a good idea.”
