Bane needed more than lust.
He needed love.
Clearly I’d lost my marbles in those woods.
Because I didn’t think twice about leaning up on my knees, arching myself over the steel hardness beneath me, squeezing his hand tightly as I brought myself closer to his face. He didn’t move to push me away.
Instead, his gaze dipped to my lips, and his energy latched onto mine.
Our magic lingered, and I could feel his pain.
It was dark and deep, and it called to me like the forest had called me.
My magic flowed through me like a lightning strike and I dropped my gaze to his lips.
“You won’t,” I whispered as I gently pressed my lips against his, and gave him exactly what I knew he needed, because I was full of it.
I gave him love.
CHAPTER13
Bane
Violet tastedlike honey and vanilla sugar, her pillowy lips soft and warm.
Like fresh baked cookies and long, hot summer nights.
My entire body relaxed the moment she kissed me, the fire inside of me returning from the ashes of depletion.
Instinctively, I slid my hand out of hers, sliding it along her back and pulling her to me as my other hand slid over the expanse of her neck, into her silky smooth hair.
I kissed her with desire, with want, and need.
No one had ever kissed me like this.
Like I was worthy.
She groaned into my mouth as her body collapsed on top of my very eager cock, which was practically punching its way out of my uniform pants. I was half concerned with enough energy it might actually cause a tear.
A part of my brain still advised caution. I wasn’t up to full speed, which meant I was much more susceptible to injury, attachment, or worse. Not to mention, I didn’t want Violet to get the wrong idea and think we had to...
Violet’s tongue forged its way in my mouth as my hand settled on the exposed skin at the small of her back, her thighs straddling mine. Before I could even speak, she took the words out of me, grinding herself against me. Even through my wretched uniform pants I could feel her heat, her warmth, and the scent of her arousal was thick like a fog as it encompassed me, causing my damn cock to throb as she moaned in my mouth.
But it wasn’t thedesireI wanted more of, though to be clear, I still wantedthatvery much.
No, it was the way her magic filled me, the way she kissed me.
The way shepouredherself into me and gave melife.
Despite my weakened state, I’d never felt so... alive.
I nipped at her lower lip, taking it between my teeth, sucking on the swollen flesh and the sound that escaped her throat was the purest sound I’d ever heard.
It was like a bell, ringing loud and clear.
I needed to be careful, because this...
Her lust, her love, her body...
